Why are people still talking about Manny-Floyd?

[BoxingGenius27]

Peterson and Matthysee didnt fight at 140

LMAO ok man, if you wanna count that. On that note, Let's not forget Peterson sure as hell beat Khan before Garcia did

[PAC-BOY]

lineal catchweight champ. :WORD:
Paper Paper Paper...everyone know the real deal.

[Kagami Taiga]

Bullschit, he won't be Lineal anything...

Everyone will dispute it, only a small group will defend it

Nope, u don't seem to understand how lineal system works. That's the problem. When Floyd beat canelo he was widely reagrded as the #1 fighter in the division. And when Canelo beat trout, the same was true, he was regarded as the next best fighter in the division. When those two fight, it will absolutely be for the lineal crown whether u like it or not. Ur saying a small minority are saying it, well that's not true. This fight will produce the lineal champ.

Yes he did,but lets not forget he lost his rankings because he failed a drug test and was suspend..and Khan took his spot..and thats why Garcia became lineal

Son you are a Manny fan you should be quiet

Peterson did not lose his ranking or lose anything. If that was the case, the win would've been changed to No Contest. But the win still stands as a win... Peterson didn't fail anything, before, during or after the Khan bout. It was in the rematch is when he failed

Mathysse is the lineal champ

I know exactly how it works and what you guys are saying is a joke.

It's the best purchased lineal title in the history... Going through Mathew Hatton, Josesito Lopez, Alphonzo Gomez, Shane Mosley (who absolutely did schit to earn a title shot against Canelo), only to finally beat Austin Trout (best win) doesn't spell "lineal" anything and if Mayweather wasn't your favorite fighter, you'd know it.

Let's be reasonable/objective here. I like Mayweather also, but damn, c'mon bruh

[Sugar Adam Ali]

To clear it up,,,

yes this fight between floyd and canelo will be for the lineal title,,,

[SD180sx]

I'm one of those people, and my reason is I still wanna see them fight.

[BoxingGenius27]

The definition of "lineal champion" is essentially the man who beat the man and is recognized by the world as the best in the class.

But when you have someone like Canelo who spent his entire career fighting people not even in his weight class, only to fight Austin Trout who won his belt from Frank LaPorto, that's not Lineal anything.

We're not even going to talk about Floyd's record at 154... Which leads me to my next point; this fight isn't even at 154.

It's not Lineal anything... Only to a certain fan base

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see Floyd-Canelo and it's a fight I want to see and will be the first in my seat to watch it, but it's not Lineal anything.
