Lineage in today's climate

it still means enough for fans to want ggg v canelo so ggg gets the title.

lineal titles are imperfect so i could argue it's good to have other belts to get boxers recognised or paid while in the past one guy could monopolise the only title going.

 

ABC beltholders are contenders.
The lineal champion remains the lineal champion.
Canelo is not fighting GGG, the number 1 contender who is seen as THE champ at MW although Canelo is the lineal champ.

They need to strip the likes of Frampton and Canelo from the lineal title if they avoid Golovkin and Rigondeaux.

 

Are you guys serious? I wasn't or aware Frampton was lineal

 

Quigg, Frampton and Rigo don't fight in a historical prestigious division.
The lineage of the super-bantam championship has never been of much concern, has it ?

 

I think you mean the Jr Featherweight division :bart

 

Whatever it is called.

 

Surely that would be a paradox?

 

:good

 

No, linear means you do not get a choice because you do not like it.

It is by definition not democratic or logical per se...

 

probably a bit of both, frampton quigg was domestic and had been built up over a long period but is a good example of the biggest fight(maybe not in the US?) in the division not involving the champion. Canelo v golovkin i think is important because of the lineal title, people wanted martinez and cotto too and canelo was not mentioned by anyone for golovkin before the cotto fight.

 

Always want to see the best champ fight the obvious best challenger. Major reason that people default to the "so-in-so not fighting the best bl@ck fighters" in the early 1900's, or mid-40's, to run down the "official' champion of the era.
