So would you say serrano was the champ throughout arguello's reign? If the lineal champ retires, how is a new champion decreed?
1 versus 2 or multiple belt(like 3) unification usually. For example, Zab became the lineal champion when he unified every belt under the sun at 147. Baldomir became lineal when he beat Zab Judah. Mayweather became the new lineal champion when he beat Baldomir. Ricky Hatton would have been lineal. But since Ricky Hatton didn't win and Mayweather retired that was it.
1 and 2 by who's rankings? Complete belt unification would leave a recognised undisputed champ who should be seen as the best by everyone out there. Some would argue that forest became lineal when he unified with mosley. Some would argue mayorga when he unified with forest. Traditional lineage follows on from a time when there was one belt out there but in today's era it seems increasingly more difficult to determine an undisputed champion without total unification.
You always look down upon Mayweather fans? Why? Is it wrong or something? Look at what the *******s are doing on this forumatsch. Yet you still hate on Mayweather fans, and call them "fanboys". If you like boxing you should at least appreciate Floyd's abilities. Same with Manny. You are becoming irrational, so get a grip:-(
Mosley wanted the fight then too but team Pac **** themselves, they were happy to fight him after he couldn't even beat Mora.
The recognized two best fighters in the divsion have to fight and settle the matter. Neither Klitschko has managed to do that either. I wonder why? Klitschko = Epic Failure...
This is incorrect. Zab became The Man @ 147 when he beat Cory Spinks. The alphabet organization's trinkets are *meaningless*...
So when did Zab become linear? Who did he beat? Does anyone have a history of the WW division's linear title?
Because there's a lot of you loud ass, stupid, ignorant, little ****s. that's why. And you are wrong (no surprise) I look down on floyd fanboys. I have no problems with a few Floyd fans, the few who can make sense, aren't acting like the hysterical bitches like you and most others act. I appreciate floyd's skill. I've been watching him since he was an amatuer, which is probably 10 years longer then you have. ****, I was a big fan before he turned into "Money the ducker". So I don't need to agree with a bunch of stupid kids to show I appreciate floyd's skills. You're one to talk about being irrational. Look at your name, Floyd's ****in uncle. And you think you are unbiased and rational. **** off troll...you aren't even supposed to be reading my posts remember? :roll:
In the same manner that Wlad is recognized as the #1 HW in the world - by consensus. Usually by a consensus of the boxing media and/or the boxing public/fans. It's not that hard to understand if you'd take your head out of your ass. At no time has either Klitschko been in a contest that involved the consensus #1 and #2 HWs in the world. NEVER. Now, you can play dumb and act like there aren't credible rating systems out there but everyone with half a brain knows better...
