Should Canelo v Plant be for the lineal?(Or is it already?)Why does ring rate Benevidez above Plant?

[kushking]

Tbrb has Plant as #2,Ring has Benevidez as #2.
What has Benevidez done to warrant being considered the #2 smw? Its almost as if hes yet another instance of a come forward Brawler getting a bunch of self fulfilling hype for no reason,& everything else gets swept aside despite every other fighter getting shat on daily for doing the same thing as Benevidez.(like Charlo)

Can someone please explain why Benevidez is thought of as the boogieman of smw?(what has he done that makes you say,"ah there's someone who will become a great champion"?)

Or better yet what accomplishments justifies him being rated higher than Plant?

I think this fight should be regarded as being for the lineal smw title? What say you?

It’s for the undisputed title.

Undisputed titles include lineal championships. That’s what undisputed means.

If someone else was the lineal champion, the winner of this fight wouldn’t be undisputed. There would be a dispute as too who’s champion.

Its also worth noting that Canelo is already the lineal champion. So it absolutely should be for the lineal title.

Caleb Plant is number two because Canelo beat the guys above him… except for Benavidez who eliminated himself from the discussion because he’s an idiot.

Theres many ppl who don't consider the ring the lineal though(I agree with you completely though)

You’re confusing Undisputed and undisputed though…

the Undisputed championship is a recognised concept, I.e unification of all major ABC titles

undisputed in terms of no dispute is a different idea

you can be Undisputed champion and not lineal champion. Think of Roy Jones, Tyson pre-Spinks. It’s rare, but possible
