    just stumbled across this...

    http://www.arcaneknowledge.org/sports/boxchamps.htm

    what do you think of the way this guy has traced the lineages? particularly in the middleweight and heavyweight divisions? notable junctures are when leonard vacated the former title and tyson acquired the latter. we don't need to go into detail about the specific examples (that tyson patterson thread was exhausting...)

    he seems to mix the traditional criteria for lineage with an emphasis on who was widely considered the champion at the time. does he get the balance right? sorry if you've seen this before.
