Difference between Ring belt and Lineal belt?

[VG_Addict]

Is there any difference between the Ring championship and the lineal championship, or are they the same thing?

[Hougigo]

Not so much now that the Ring lets you fight anybody in the top 5 and you get it... still circumnavigating people

In theory, yes, it is the same belt.

Very different. Especially now. Lineal belt typically passes when u fight the man or the previous lineal champ in the division. Lineal is beating the man who beat the man and so forth. Ring title is established usually when the ring ranked #1 guy in the division fights the #2 or #3 guy. Only time lineal is established is if the belt has been vacated for some reason. And then its re established when the consensus #1 and #2 fight. So u can be the ring champion without being the lineal champ and vice versa.

There is no lineal championship. It's just a way fans keep track who would be the champion if there was 1 title per division.

The only thing that matters with any belt is the quality of the fighter that owns it , prestige is nothing if its not validated .

[Russian Crushin]

The lineal title is an honor given to the best fighter of a division. It is first established when the unanimous top 2 fighters in a division fight and being a "lineage"

It is then passed down by beating the lineal titlist

The ring belt doesnt always follow lineal champ, for example Garcia at 140, Yoan Pablo Hernández at 200 and even floyd at 147

How do you know who "the man" is?

I thought the lineal title wasn't a physical title.
