    Wasn't he the linear title holder before Baldomir spanked him? Or does the best not refer to the linear champion anymore?

    No most people dont think Collazo beat Hatton, the forums were pretty divided and more thought Hatton edged it than vice versa

    Hatton turned the Mayweather fight down 5 times before accepting it over a period of 3years. Most of those times were at 140lbs, its said hatton wanted the fight at 147lbs so he'd still be the champion at 140lbs if he lost

    :rofl:rofl:rofl freaking noobs. Judah was the linear champion after defeating spinks.

    Floyd beat him and baldo to become the linear 147 champion.

    DLH, Trinidad and mosley were all at 154 or 160 for trinidad. Cotto wasnt big yet and was at 140. Margo was a nobody.

    People seem to conveniently forget how the divisions were at that time.
