sometimes I think people dont understand what lineal means and that it was made up by HBO as a promotional ploy.

37-31-15 (8 KO, 24 ND) Mike Ballerino was the lineal Junior lightweight champion
Billy Backus 48-22-5(22kos) welterweight
Leon Spinks
26 Wins (14 knockouts, 11 decisions, 1 disqualification), 17 Losses (9 knockouts, 8 decisions), 3 Draws
there were some wholly average or mediocre champions but either way they earned a distinction in this era which is rare....being the true champion in their weight class.
Baldomir isn't the worst lineal champion ever, he is far from it.
Maybe to some one giving a horrible effort in once again deflating someone's accomplishments, or one of his opponents

I don't know if I can find anyone definitively worse than Baldomir but there were some below average heavyweights that won the crown like Rahman and Buster Douglas.
