Who was the last Linear Champ @ 147?

Backwards from Pacquaio how does it go, say 20 years

sorry i really should know this stuff but I don't

 

I can't go back 20 years. Hamed won all 4 belts at 126 without losing which reestablished lineage there. He then lost to Barrera, who then lost to Pac. I don't know who was the last linear champ there before Hamed.

 

Hamed didn't win 4 belts, he won 3, but beat the WBA champ (vasquez), they stripped him before he fought Hamed.

I'm assuming thats still enough to establish lineage.

 

He eventually won the WBA belt later if I'm not mistaken.

edit: he never won it, but beating a guy who was stripped of it is close enough.

 

I can tell you the next...hint- he's fighting saturday..

 

He hasn't even moved up to FW yet. He definately has the ability to do it though.

 

Carl Froch?!



































Yeah, I wouldn't bet againt Juanma establishing a lineage either :good

 

He can go up to 130 IMO..

 

JuanMa has more chance of being the next linear Jr Featherweight champ. I mean Vasquez vs JuanMa seems to be more and more of a possibility since JuanMa is starting to bring some $$ to the table

 

I actually think he can go to 135 one day.

 

Certainly not out of the realm of possibility..

Thanks Ishy, you're always pointing me in the direction of interesting stuff :good

 

No worries Hoya :good. Cyberboxingzone is great for stuff like lineages.

 

OK. I think so too. Can we now go back to 147?:hi:
