Pac-JMM Numbers upgraded to 525K PPV!!!

Yes, Norris got his WBC title from Mugabi. He wasn't LINEAL until he unified with the IBF champion Paul Vaden. If you trace the WBC belt back all the way, you will see that it was picked up VACANT by Duane Thomas when he beat Mugabi after Hearns had vacated it. You think the WBC title just suddenly became a lineal title?

So what were you saying about my inexperience and ego?

 

:happy

 

Again, Norris didn't get the Lineal title from Mugabi. He got the WBC title from him. Norris became LINEAL after beating Vaden years later.

Simplifying this for you in a respectful manner (something you lack), Boxrec failed you because it tells you no context. All it showed you was that this belt came from that guy, to that guy. If you had known anything about Norris, you would have known that he unified and that the unification bout was considered a restart of the vacated Lineage. But that is not listed there.....

It can be used to help trace lineage, but only if you know the context of the fights. Sometimes it won't tell you that, as I just demonstrated. If you had gone further back, you would have seen that the WBC title was vacated by Hearns breaking the Lineage. But it won't tell you how the Lineage got restarted. Historians and research elsewhere tells you that.

You could try saying "oops, I messed up" and leaving it at that. I was saying something supportive of Pacquiao, and here you are looking for a fight.

 

First off, the WBA is much older than the WBC.

And secondly, you can't restart a lineage with a vacated title. And no, Duane Thomas (to you, and unknown) got the belt by BEATING Mugabi. And by the mid 90's (actually late 80's) the IBF was one of the big 3, so your assertion is ridiculous.

You didn't trace back futher than me either. When Lineage is broken, the top fighters in the division have to fight for it to be restarted. This often means unification. Thomas picking up a vacated belt wouldn't have sufficed to restart the lineage even with a win over Mugabi because ATG Mike McCallum was the WBA champion. Any restart of Lineage would have had to involve him since he was considered every bit as good as Hearns when Hearns was champion, but Hearns was lineal because he beat Benitez.

Get over it.

 

good for marquez and pacquiao ... this is going to pave the way for smaller fighters in mega fights ...

 

You failed, it failed, whatever.

 

:good

Funny thing is, I feel bad for you. Even when the evidence is in front of your face, you try to find a way to deny it.

You can win the lineal title by winning the champions vacated belt.....LMAO. That's rich.

 

great news
