    Some debate Mayweather's. And the debate isn't about him, more so about how Lineal titles are created once vacated. Some say a unification of the WBA and WBC, some say a unification of WBA, WBC, and IBF (the WBO has never been included, at least not yet) and some say a fight between the recognized #1 and #2 in the division (recognized by WHO is the question)

    He was Lightweight, Jr. Welterweight and Welterweight Champ. I didn't remember, so I checked BoxRec. He won, at the same time, the Lightweight and Jr. Welterweight title...while fighting at 135 pounds. That stuff shouldn't be allowed, in my opinion.

    Canzoneri was Champ at Featherweight, Lightweight and Jr. Welterweight. He also had a draw for the Bantamweight title.

    His list was of 3 weight class lineal champions, not just of the original 8.

    He was ROBBED!!!

    The outcome of that fight pissed me off so much

    He was beating the **** out of Agapito Sanchez, and Aggy wanted anyway out of it and did so by fighting dirty, he should of been DQ'd.
    and
    Raul Caiz is a freaking moron with his ******ed scorecard.

    Sanchez wasn't lineal though, he won his belt vacant.
