pacquiao should be the lightweight lineal champion

[DiegoFuego]

Uh he beat the worst of the champions. Casamayor is the man, though he should have lost to Santa Cruz. Campbell is 2nd. Pacquiao is third until further notice. I think Pacquiao should fight the winner of Campbell-Guzman first and then the winner of Casamayor-Marquez.

What will really happen: winners of Casamayor-Marquez and Campbell-Guzman fight and Pacquiao fights the winner

casamayor>santa cruz>david diaz>pacquiao

There would be an argument for it had Diaz beaten Santa Cruz AFTER Santa Cruz got robbed against Casamayor, but...

You can't beat someone and then become lineal later when the person you beat beats the lineal champ.

casamayor>santa cruz>david diaz>pacquiao

Except that it didn't happen in that order. It has to happen in that order for it to be the linear title.

In reality, Casamayor holds the lineage, but his reign is on borrowed time anyway, Pacquiao might have to beat him or if Marquez beats him then the third fight against Marquez will be his chance.
