Is Floyd This Only Boxer To Have Accomplish This...? (Serious Question)

here goes floyd's nut sack slurper praising his god floyd the ****.

Armstrong is special because they didn't have junior divisions. He was lineal champion at featherweight, lightweight and welterweight at the same time. That's insane if you sit down and think about it.

Nope. SRL did it in 81 against Kalule before fighting Hearns.... linear at 147 and 154

Both true stories....This is why Floyd is in the conversations of greatness

You spend all day HATING,trying to down an ATG...your entire SIG is dedicated to someone you claim to no follow..you sir are pathetic and a sad person..we laugh at you because people like you follow floyd more then we do...keep up the good work son

Henry Armstrong did it in 3 divisions at the same time when there was only one undisputed champ. That's why I want Floyd to either face Garcia at 140 or Martinez for the MW lineal title. 3 belts, 3 divisions, AT THE SAME DAMN TIME!

Or do both and make it 4.

Playing with weight like that is dangerous though.

hmmm, I don't even think an 'lineal' or 'ring' title existed in Armstrong's era, there was only one belt; so guess my question is more of the modern era of boxing, last 30 years or so...

There was always a lineal title. From the beginning of Recorded Boxing History. You need not think it was invented purely for Phony Phloyd...... Barney Ross also was lineal Champ at 3 weights within the space of a few months. Tony Canzoneri whom he beat for two of them was a triple lineal champion. And I'm sure there were lots of others in those days when being champion really meant something.

Being a fan is an acceptable thing, but being childish is inexcusable.

Hopkins wasnt lineal at 175 then..just Ring champ

Roy never held the lineal title? I guess he did never fight Michelczewski

The "Lineage" just traces back to the first Champion.

"Lineal" titles didn't exist then because there was only one title.

That's effectively all the "Lineage" is.

Dan, there was lineage, meaning lineal titles. I used to read about it long before you were born. It was important because in those pre technology days, there might be fighters in different parts of the country "claiming" to be the champion. It was good for the box-office. I recall that in the "Coloured Championship" days, one of the champions still called himself champ because he'd only been beaten on a 2nd rd DQ. And he fought on as champ. It may have been Jack Johnson. It was sort of loose, and historians were always straightening it out.

Nope Roy was never lineal at 175

They had a Junior Welterweight division. Both Canzoneri and Ross held it, Kid Berg was a Jun. Welter champ. I think that Armstrong skipped it because he felt that Ross was ready to be beaten. it was Ross's last fight.
