Floyd has beaten 5 lineal champions in a row

[fightfan_79]

wtf does that means???america is used to having boxing stars....the phillipines is not used ot having any sports stars.

dudes...u guys go from one extreme to another.

That means that a little man from this 3rd world country, which is NOT USED TO HAVING ANY SPORTS STARS, has someone who can they claim as their own very proudly, is competing on a WORLDWIDE LEVEL talentwise and popularity wise against someone who IN HIS OWN COUNTRY, the majority of people would be ashamed to claim as their own. Extreme...yes...my opinion...yes....true? I'll let the public decide.....

pacquaio won 7 world champions in different weight classes, i cant think of any other fighter in history has done that........

Paperchamp.

lol read between the lines moron. do i look like i care about what green has accomplished as a fighter? i only bring that up for you to realize that your thread is irrelevant. i'm not even trying to discredit floyd for his accomplishment but floyd fans like you should at least find a more credible topic to hype your idol not some garbage

Beating 1 lineal champion is different from beating 5 lineal champions in a row. Or do you still find a way to read between the lines?

[jrosales13]

danny green ktfo roy jones (not just a former lineal champ but a p4p 1) in the very first round. floyd has never done that not even close...to make a point to a pointless thread.

Roy was never a lineal champ.

Jro

Yea Roy was never the lineal champ he was the Ring LHW champ. But, Roy did beat the best fighter at 168 in James Toney. Toney was not the lineal champ, Frank Liles was at the time. But, Toney was the better fighter.

And, when he cameback down from HW to LHW. He beat Tarver, he was not the lineal champ. Julio Gonzalez was at the time who Roy had already beat. But, Tarver was better than Gonzalez.

dude, ur logic is just wrong. ur comparing a country, the u.s., that has numerous sport stars and has a history of being one of the top sports contries in the world to a country that is not at all used to having a major sports star. its a faulty analogy. if u r wrong, you are wrong. its like comparing apples to oranges.

I thought Nunn was the Linealist at 168?

Nunn lost to Steve Little in Feb of 1994. Little lost it to Liles in Aug of 1994. Liles held the title until 1999.

Roy fought Toney in Nov of 1994. So Liles had the title at the time
