    168 is Calzaghe, or vacant, depending on your criteria.

    I can agree on most.

    135 - You can say Diaz or Casamayor.
    154 - Shouldn't be Forrest, he won the WBC belt by beating Baldomir, which was vacated by Floyd. I'd probably say Cory Spinks or Sergiy Dzinziruk .

    126 has no Lineal champ, 130 has no Lineal champ, 140 Hatton is the lineal champ since he never lost it from when he beat Kostya Tsyzu, 135 is Casamayor if there is one, no one at 154, 175 is Erdai.

    You forgot a division my good man. The lineal cruiserweight champion is obviously Jean Mormeck.

    Hopkins is Ring champion not linear, Jones never been liner champion.
    The same with Calzaghe, he is Ring champion, there is no one official statement he become linear also.
    The winner of Calzaghe-Kessler will be linear for sure.

    Agree, Erdei is the linear champion at 175. DM was the linear champion at that division, not Jones. There is no linear champion at Super Middleweight, the winner of Calzaghe - Kessler will determine who is the new linear champion at that weight class.

    Naito is lineal at 112. Tokuyama is lineal at 115, although I'm not sure you can still count him - he retired, but less than a year ago. As already mentioned, Erdei is lineal at 175. Finally, I don't agree with Calzaghe being lineal at 168 (he only unified WBO and IBF, and if anyone was lineal before him, it was Gerard, who left the weight class with the title; although either way, the Calzaghe-Kessler fight will establish a lineal champ).
