i dont view it as the same thing as floyd leaving because floyd wasnt fighting at all and came back to the exact same weight class. p will never did either. he simply left and didnt return.
It is literally the exact same thing as what Mayweather is doing now with Cotto.
He's ranked at WW, is moving to 154 and intends to return. Should he be removed from the rankings? I don't think so, personally.
Of course, just being Floyd Mayweather does make the situation slightly different.
Like I said, I did consider Margarito-Cotto for the Lineage. But, I understand why people don't.

you're either the guy who beat the guy
or the winner of a box of between the the first and second ranked guys
obviously if these guys are solid and deserving it will carry more weight
and likewise, beating a better fighter to win the title directly is better than picking it up off of some poor soul at the end of his run, or the carlos baldomir and corey spinks' of the world
spinks was the lineal WW champion
and came oh so close to beating jermain taylor for the lineal MW title. JT hardly trained for that fight.

Paul williams moved up above on 9/25/08 yet Cotto fought Marg on 7/26/08 for the "lineal title"
He didnt just fight there and just didnt return. The "lineage between Marg and cotto was established before williams even fought above 147, let alone campaigned there
Therefore it would be the exact situation if Pac and Ortiz fought for the lineal title right nowLast edited by Russian Crushin; 03-28-2012, 05:52 PM.
