And, I give him a 50-50 shot to beat Hasegawa. My question is if Moreno beats Cermeno, who is also a good fighter, does Moreno crack the top 10 P4P list?

I have a question though. History shows that at one time there was one belt per weight class, as time has passed and jr. divisions were added, as well as sanctioning bodies. My question is.......How is lineage traced through the separate sanctioning bodies back to the "original" one belt?

Originally posted by crold1 View PostIt's not in all cases. Sometimes the lineage falls vacant. usually a new lineage can be identified through a process of elimination. Easiest way is picking up all the belts. If one can't for politic reasons but beats all the top contenders, that can also work. In the case of Flyweight, Canto was the recognized king in the late 70s, the man he beat twice (after a loss in their first) Betulio Gonzalez won the other available belt late in his reign, solidifying what was widely perceived anyways. That happened to be the WBC belt and, through circumstance, remains a straight line lineage; the longest running right now.
Tommy Burns won that belt off of win over Marvin Hart. Marvin Hart fought for the vacant title left by Jeffries. Being that Jeffries was not going to un-retire until he was begged to do so by the nation(US). It is safe to say that Jeffries would not have come out of retirement if Jack did not beat Tommy in Australia, right?
I thought that by design(being that there was only one belt) Marvin was not the Lineal champ because he fought for a vacant belt. But Tommy on the other hand was the lineal champ because he beat Marvin for the strap, which in turn would make Jack the lineal champ since he beat Tommy. From how you have explained how lineage transfers hands. If Jack would not have beat Tommy then HW lineage would have been lost, what would have been done in that case?
