Pacquiao - Flyweight to Super Welterweight (42 lbs)
Crawford - Lightweight to Super Middleweight (33 lbs)
Mayweather - Super Featherweight to Super Welterweight (24 lbs)
Canelo - Super Welterweight to Light Heavyweight (21 lbs)
Again, I don’t care.
How can someone coming off a loss, fight a guy who’s 2-1-1 in his last 4 for the vacant lineage?
On top of the fact there are other current champions in the division at the time.
How can that possibly make any logical sense?
Title belts have nothing to do with lineage, first off. There have been several world titlists that weren't even ranked in the top 10 by Ring or TBRB. Crawford vs Beltran was a lineal title fight even though Crawford only had the WBO belt, Beltran had no belts, and other guys had belts at the time.
When Pacquiao lost to Floyd he didn't fall in the TBRB rankings. He was just behind Floyd before the fight and nobody jumped him after Floyd beat him. Floyd retired leaving Pacquiao as the #1 fighter. Bradley beat Vargas (who was 26-0 at the time) and stopped Rios (who was coming off a win over 33-0 Mike Alvarado), which elevated him to #2. #1 fought #2 with the title vacant, thus a new lineage.
Educating this boxing ignorants is pretty useless. They dont even believe what "experts" say.. :lol1:
Pacquaio’s 4, not 5.
I don’t care how many times people act like Pacquaio-Bradley was for the vacant Lineage, it wasn’t.
Damn those boxing historians/experts/writers/journalists who made Pacquiao the only 5 division lineal champion. :confused:
History will only remember Manny Pacquiao as an eight-division world champion and Floyd Mayweather as a five-division world champion. End of story. :lol1:
Soon to be a legitimate 4 decade world champion and 5-time welterweight champion, matching Sugar Ray Robinson's 5 time middleweight championship reign :boxing:
Valladares acted like a b!tch! That was no accidental headbutt. JBC should overturn the decision to a KO for Shigeoka just like the Korean Boxing Commission did to Casimero-Akaho fight! What a disgraceful Mexican p*$$Y
