According to the lineal article Mayweather is a three time lineal champion!

Further proof that it's who you beat.

Hernanderz...Corrales...and then Baldomir? Someone doesn't belong.

lol, thats for sure.

in many cases, the #1 rated guy is the real 'best' in the division above the lineal champ, because the lineal champ cant exactly be stripped of that title, and can just sit on that claim while fighting bums.

its good to look at old rankings, but they can be deceiving, just like everything else.
