    What conditions are required for a title to be considered lineal?

    I mean I think if you trace back any title sooner or later someone has fought for that title when it was Vacant. So the question then becomes whats the requirement to make it lineal? unification?

    I mean we hear the Lineal title thrown out there so much, but I really would like to know what makes that title so unique?

      1 beat the lineal champ
      2 unify all the belts, doing so revives a broken lineage
      3 by Ring standards, #1 beats #2 or sometimes #3 revives lineage
      technically, Ring belts isn't always synchronized with the lineal title
      but it's the best standard to go by tbh

          If you unify all four of the belts or clean house in your division.

              An alphabet title can never be a lineal title, it that is your question. Lineal title belongs to "the man" of the division. When it's vacant it is decided by the #1 and 2 or 1 and 3. I think there's a website which follows the lineage stuff. And no you don't have to win all the titles to get a lineal title. Alphabet titles are useless now. The Ring and Lineal Titles are the way to go. Holding either of the WBC, IBF, WBA or WBO is simply to "bring something to the table" and have something to negotiate with, though I know they meant a lot more back then when I was not around.

                Lineal means you are the man who beat the man

                It has nothing to do with alphabet titles

                You can have the lineal title without holding a belt, i.e Barrera when he fought Pac I

                  only after dumping the green belt he won over Morales.
