Now I am not saying he unified all of the belts at WW, correct me if I am wrong but the beginning of the new title lineage at present time and the manner in which the lineage began prior to this one started with a fight involving Mosley and it seems he is back where he started in 2000 10 years ago in regards to title status.
Here is how; After Trinidad's controversial win over DLH Tito moves out of the division to 154.
This leaves a DLH/SSM fight and the result of SSM winning creates the beginning a new lineage.
SSM losing to Forrest strengthens that lineage.
Forrest losing a unification to Mayorga makes this lineage that much more solid.
Mayorga lost another unification to Spinks making him the man at 147.
Spinks lost his lineal and if memory serves undisputed status to Judah.
Judah in an upset loses his lineal title to Baldomir.
Then Baldomir loses his title to Mayweather.
Floyd retires forfeiting all lineal WW title claims.
It is decided by consensus that the Mosley/Cotto winner for the WBA title is the man to beat at 147 and would have the strongest lineal claim to the WW title, as we know Cotto won.
Cotto loses this fledgling lineal status to Margarito.
Margarito then loses his status to Mosley.
Mosley currently has the strongest lineal claim to the 147lb title.
