Why are people still talking about Manny-Floyd?

Garcia wasn't Lineal anything either

He was rated the champion at 140 after the Khan win.

This sport if becoming a joke if you guys think beating Cotto and Canelo makes you lineal champ because of "the belts"

The way WBC passes belts out and sanctions fights, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves

Thats how they do it, I wouldn't if I ran the sport but I don't just telling you why its so.

If Floyd beats Canelo he will NOT be the Lineal champ of anything.

Canelo needs to do more than just beat Trout to be considered any kind of lineal opponent.

There are so many fighters at 154 waiting for Floyd. He won't be Lineal anything in that weight class any time soon.

Canelo is the champ at 154..and Floyd is #1..how in the hell would this not be for the lineal title?

Garcia is the lineal champ at 140 man,Winner of Floyd-Canelo will also be the lineal champ,like it or not it is a fact

Call it what you like bruh.... But history and any boxing fans with a brain will know it's the best Lineal title ever purchased... They're not even fighting at the full weight limit FFS...

It's like Pacquiao beating Margarito for the JMW championship after he got KO'd by Mosley then beat some bum in Mexico before fighting Pac, Then they fought at some joke catchweight.

If you acknowledge that as legit, then cool

If Garcia is the lineal champ for beating Khan, then so is Peterson, which makes Mathysse the uncrowned lineal champ

Out of all the tough guys at 154, it's weird when the standing champs are Ishe Smith, Mayweather and Canelo.

Mayweather has only fought twice in the division in the last 6 years. Canelo has only fought 1 real guy at 154; maybe 2 if you count that British guy years ago........ Ishe Smith

The real fighters in the division are Angulo, Kirkland (despite inactivity due to legal trouble), Lara, Molina (hate his guts), etc...

If Mayweather is the Lineal champ, it would be the best lineal championship ever purchased. That's just how it is.

Angulo-just lost and before that was inactive
Kirkland-inactive
Lara-cool dude but hasnt beat a top 154 fighter
Molina-lost to kirkland

how are these the real fighters? like it or not canelo-mayweather is for all the marbles

Peterson and Matthysee didnt fight at 140

Kirkland-inactive

Molina-lost to kirkland

how are these the real fighters? like it or not canelo-mayweather is for all the marbles

Why are they the real fighters?

Lara hasn't beaten a top 154 lb'er?


For one, they're the real fighters because while Canelo was fighting the likes of Alphonzo Gomez and Josesito Lopez, they were all fighting each other.

Kirkland vs Angulo/Molina

Williams vs Lara

So on and so forth.

Lara didn't beat Paul Williams and Angulo?

What you're saying is like saying Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Williams, Cintron etc weren't the real WW's fighting each other in 2008, but Baldomir and Hatton was.
