CHAMPION - Canelo - why? unified champ 2. Andrade - has title 3. Charlo - why? has a "minor" title, so hes a top contender now 5. Jacob - top contender, better record than Dev 5. Dev - top contender 6. brant?
Saúl Álvarez Daniel Jacobs (if he beats Sergey Derevyanchenko) Demetrius Andrade Sergey Derevyanchenko (if he loses to Daniel Jacobs) Jermall Charlo Rob Brant (not really seen anything of him) I like Jacobs but he's looked a little vulnerable in these last 2 outings whereas Canelo, not my favourite by any means is both solid and has all those special privileges mentioned above. I've put Andrade ahead of Sergey, but I'm not really sure on the latter. Boo boo has a higher ceiling though I think if he gets active. Finally, really not sure if the hype over the Charlo's is making it harder to assess them. For now he can sit there till he fights someone.
@HerolGee you're going to get the benefit of the doubt here being a board OG with eight years on here...I'll assume you didn't see the warnings before posting. You have exactly 2 minutes to edit the offending material from your post. Read the previous couple of pages if you're unclear.
That was unnecessary, but appreciated. I'll restore the post sans the mention of the present non-titlists. @CutThroatFade @uppercut_to_the_body this is how a respectful forum member acts. Now why don't you guys follow his shining example and both apologize for attempting to hijack my thread into a platform to soapbox your whining about either of the former titlists (both of whom, for the record, I'm way more of a fan of than anybody on the list, and both of whom I think would beat them all h2h...lest you think I'm "on the other side" in this place's insipid fucking agenda wars...)
Why isn't Hagler on the list? He never lost his title fair and square in my eyes and is still the lineal champ. Seriously don't get why people are finding this thread so hard to understand. Jacobs comes out on top IMO.
I don't apologise to bullies. If you have a problem with me or my friend @CutThroatFade please continue the discussion via Private message.
@CutThroatFade your turn. You can go either of two ways...the way your "friend" went...or the right way (and that includes apologizing)
Anyway i think. H2H Alvarez Jacobs Derevanychko Andrade Charlo Brant i think jacobs beats derev by close UD
Do you think Andrade beats Charlo directly h2h, or just that he possesses the most upside against more of their peers?
So despite the whole point of lineage being to transcend the politics and bureaucracy of sanctioning bodies; you now want lineal alphabet titles, too? RE Thread: 1) Canelo. Has the pedigree. 2) Jacobs. Huge at the weight, can switch to a very effective southpaw counter puncher. Size, athleticism and variable style make him the biggest threat to Canelo IMO. 3) Andrade. Southpaw and slick, known to cause Canelo problems. 4) Derevyanchenko. I think he could beat Andrade to be honest, but I'm doing all of this relative to Canelo, so I don't think I can have him any higher. 5) Charlo. 6) Brant.
