    If pac ever wants to be considered linear, he must beat mayweather at 147.


    Mayweather beat Baldo who beat Zab to become linear.

    In his absence, after a close win over Mosley, Cotto is considered the best welterweight. Cotto looses to Margo, Mosley destroys Margo. Mosley looses to Mayweather.


    Pac has never fought the best welterweight. Mayweather has fought the best welterweight twice.

    I agree with this.

    Is it Linear, or Lineal? :huh

    Meh sammy serrano was the lineal and wba superfeatherweight champ whilst alexis arguello was the wbc champ.

    Which man was held in higher esteem?

    The man makes the belt and not the other way round.

    he is right actually-IT WOULD BE 100 PERCENT ACCURATE HAD FLOYD NEVER RETIRED-

    Pac never won the Lineal title-

    THE LAST MAN TO WIN THE LINEAL TITLE WAS FLOYD OFF OF BALDOMIR-(W/OUT POLITICS INVOLVED)

    :deal Exactly! In today's boxing, there is not version of a belt or title that actually means more then the others. Linear, WBA, WBC, Ring, WBO.... all depends on WHO hold what.

    To this day, most Floyd fanboys on the site held Baldomir higher then Margarito...because he was linear. :roll:

    Floyd retired ending his reign with the lineage but then Mosley got it after beating Margarito who Floyd beat

    if Pacman got to mosley first id say he has the lineage

    i get what your saying but Serrano was nowhere near Arguello

    Floyd and Manny are on even terms

    you could argue who has more clout and more esteem in the division

    Exactly my friend, that's the point: you could argue who has more esteem.

    Linearity is overstated. I know for a fact that shannon briggs was never ever the best hw in the world.

    There is no debate. The ts gave his opinion about who the lineal champ was, I gave my opinion about the worth of being a lineal champ.
