importance of the linel championship

I made a simple statement, no need to be over dramatic.

This has nothing to do with Mayweather and everything to do with why the lineal crown has become nothing but a marketing tool by promotion company's.

Anybody who really believes Floyd is the 'man' at 147 over Tim Bradley is a dunce suckered into belief by those coperate think tanks.

 

:deal

Anyone who argues against Mayweather's claim as the lineal champ @ 154 is delusional or a *******. If Alvarez wasn't the lineal champ when Mayweather fought him then that contest was the clear #1 vs #2 @ 154 - with the winner establishing a new lineage. Any way you slice it, Floyd is lineal @ 154. Period, end of...

 

Who has Bradley beaten @ 147 to be considered the "Man" over Floyd?

 

I thought lineage at 130 was established when Floyd beat Corrales in 2001...

Aside from that minor point of exception, Floyd has 4 lineal championships, and so does Pac. Both deserve credit for accomplishing this, even in an era that some would consider diluted.

 

True.

 

Maidana will beat the **** outa Pac and Bradley. If Bradley or Pac really wanted Mayweather they would've stepped out from under Bob Arum when they had the chance.:bbb

 

Who did Camelo beat at 154. Matthew Hatton for the vacant WBC belt:nut

Lara is the man at 154. Such a bogey man that Golden Boy devised a scheme to knock him off the rankings by putting him into a phone booth on a weight restriction against Angulo who was allowed to weight what he wanted. Lara still won.

Lara is/was the man at 154. Not Canelo who was also drained down to 152

 

McGrain already pointed out the current Lineal champions in this thread:

Unified the titles at 140 Beat Marquez, Provo and Pacman. That is better than beating the Ghost and Ortiz.

 

Looking at it Titles only matter when a fighter you root for has the title. if someone you don't like has a title then automatically there discredited, look at the Bradley Pacquiao example people are using, Pacquiao is "the man" to beat yet in the last three years he's lost to Bradley and Marquez twice. People will try to brush it off as hate but if were going by to be the man you have to beat the man Pacquiao has never been the man at WW when he reached WW Mosley was the man and Mayweather beat him in 10" which would make Mayweather the man to beat.

I think most of the title holders are legit champs regardless if I'm a fan or not yes it's some titlist that are bs, but more often than not 3/4 belt holders are in the top 3/4 of the division.
