130 he beat Genero Hernandez (the lineal champion)
135 he beat Castillo (the lineal champion)
147 he beat Baldomir (the lineal champion)
154 there is no lineal champion, but Oscar is probably the best a 54 as well.
So don't knock Mayweather for not being the lineal champion at 140, when Ricky Hatton who held that position at the time, openly stated he didn't want to fight Mayweather.
