Floyd has beaten 5 lineal champions in a row

[cortdawg25]

people has the right to bash the ts and this thread because it's pointless and irrelevant

i don't think it's pointless. I think it says that someone who is accused of cherrypicking gimmies is actually cherrypicking great fighter and making them look like gimmies

Yea those two were not lineal champs.

Genaro Hernandez
Jose Luis Castillo
Arturo Gatti
Zab Judah
Oscar De la Hoya

Burner, its not phase my dude. Floyd only beat ONE lineal champion and 4 FORMER lineal champs where as Pacquiao beat 4 lineal champs and one FORMER lineal champ.

Its not the same thing.

Naw I see what you mean. Its just I remember in 2006 when people clowned Floyds win over Baldi even though he was the lineal champ. Now Lineal matters again.

Obviously there are levels of skill among lineal champions.

Some much better than others.

I would say Baldomir is scraping the bottom of the barrell.

I doubt you would disagree.

burner, its not phase my dude. Floyd only beat one lineal champion and 4 former lineal champs where as pacquiao beat 4 lineal champs and one former lineal champ.

Its not the same thing.

Genaro Hernandez
Jose Luis Castillo
Arturo Gatti
Zab Judah
Oscar De la Hoya

Yea those were not lineal champs at the time either. I am not even sure if Castillo was lineal champ at the either. i think they fought for the vacant title in the rematch. Both were ranked in the top two.

Wait a minute.........

Baldi was Lineal.

Hernandez was Lineal.

Castillo was Lineal.

Corralles dropped his belt before fighting Floyd or that wouldve been Lineal too.
