Is Pacquiao the undisputed WW champ?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Didn't he? I was under the impression Mosley beat Margarito for the Lineage to which Floyd beat Mosley for.

How did Margarito have the lineage?

[Jimbo16031992]

The clue is in the word 'undisputed' if you have to ask then it can be disputed. Floyd is the closest thing to the lineal division champ, because a line has kind of built up im Cotto-Marg-Shane-Floyd, unfortunately Pac can't really be the champ until Floyd takes the fight, it's sad having the champion who doesn't want to fight.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Yes Floyd is lineal champ. People like to think The Ring=Lineage but that is not really the case. Most of the time they do have right though. But, Floyd is the lineal champ.

Think we had this debate before. Its nothing to do with Ring. I believe your logic was that Margarito vs Cotto was a box off for the lineage which it wasnt because Paul Williams beat Margarito.

[SNVDoublePunch!]

...I think he'd have to become the undisputed welterweight champ to become the undisputed welterweight champ, probably. But, hey, that's just me.


Edit: HAHAHAHA 13 people voted yes...Would those people please look up what it means to be undisputed champion.

Mosley didnt have the Lineage

Floyd did though since he never lost and some would argue that beating Mosley who was considered number 1 was enough to restart his.

[Phenom]

Floyd was the last lineal champ at WW even if you don't think Mosley vs Margarito started the new lineal champ line


btw Manny is not even the #1 WW

yeah I don't think their is a lineal champ at WW.

Floyd was the lineal champ but once you retire, according to the rules, you lose that title.

The only way he could have had it is if Cotto vs Margarito was for the lineal title, something I highly doubt considering how deep WW wad at that time.

Some would argue that with his past status (lineal champ whom no one broke the line) that taking out Mosley would restart his line or basically continue it.

I don't know if I agree with that or not but when discussing this topic that was an argument I got.

naah bro it don't really work like that.

When there is no lineal champ, before a bout take place, it has to be stated it's for the lineal title.

There was never any mention of it leading up to Mosley vs Mayweather.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I can do some research to find out.

The only way he is lineal champ is if you argue that he never lost it when he "retired". It has nothing to do with him beating Mosley
