You won't be saying that come August 9th, the revolution is upon us.

A lot of lineal champs thru the years, it's actually very common..

Just look at the list of defenses for Hopkins, tsyzu, Chavez, oscar, Shane, Holyfield, Tyson, etc

It's nothing new in boxing

Your sarcasm and every other sarcastic user who posts positive stuff about Salka makes chuckle while I post.

Being a mandatory doesn't mean your a legit opponent.. McCormick was a mandatory and had no business being in with wlad, same for leapia, wach, etc

No, but ducking your mandatory can get you stripped in a lot of situations which can remove your "lineal" title

Maybe I should modify the original question with "When was the last time a Lineal champion fought back to back tune-up fights, with one being an unranked opponent in a lighter division than his belts"
