To be the champ at 147?

Yes Floyd is the lineal/real champ at 147. He got that by beating Shane. This is known already.

Well you should cuz he is.

No, ring title is vacant the lineal title is his. With Pac being ranked #1.

Ranking and lineal champs are two different things.

To be the lineal champ you have to beat the champ. To be ranked #1 you have to have the better resume don't necessary means you have to beat the #1 rank guy.

floyds the linear champ

Isn't that the same way Joe Calzaghe gained the championship at 168?

Actually I am sorry for comparing Rodriguez to Lacy, Rodriguez is actually a much better fighter~

Although if Calzaghe came back I wouldn't consider anyone a real champion of 168 until he was dealt with no matter how it was gotten~

No, not at all actually. Well not the lineal/real championship anyways.

And, no for the last paragraph it doesn't work that way. However, the reason why nobody would be consider the lineal/real champ at 168. Is because, there isn't any.

If you are saying the lineal champ and still hasn't lost his belt cool I am with that but that is from Baldomir not Mosley.

If you want to call him number one for beating Mosley that works, but being number one is not the same as champion.


I don't think of him of the current champion though, but if someone wants to be the 147 pound champ they better see him (atleast in my eyes).

He is the lineal champ cuz he beat Mosley. Not because, he retired as the lineal champ. Once you retire, then you retire all claim and you don't magically get it back. You have to be the new lineal champ. And, he did with Mosley.
