Why are posters so concerned about GGG being HANDED another title?

[SeekDaGreat]

You got it all wrong. The belt is worthless as long as the champ is a CW fraud. The belt has restored credibility when its held by the best at the weight

Golovkin has the majority of belts at MW, how come he has no leverage and can't call his shots?

[MDPopescu]

Do not overreact: in case Canelo doesn't fight GGG next or vacates, The Ring will strip him of their 'lineal' title as well -- maybe not immediately, but soon...

[SilverMiles]

He would be stripped of the WBC title..that is not the lineal title man...you have to win that in the ring or the lineal champ has to retire or leave the division

It seems you made up silly rules for an imaginary title. But if Canelo vacates the tile he vacates any claims he has to a world title rather it be WBC, Lineal, or any other imaginary title.

[Irony123]

Absolutely Larry. The title means nothing. He either fights Canelo, and caves into Canelo demands or he can have the belt, and it then becomes worthless. He will be the only undisputed clown of all time who's most note worthy win is Gabriel Rosado.



I disagree here. The man makes the belt, the belt doesn't make the man.

If that wasn't the case then Chocalitito and Lil G would be making 100 Ms per fight.

If the man makes the belt then what does that say about the WBC... it says that their middleweight champion isn't a middleweight and refuses to fight at middleweight so in this case the belt means nothing... thanks for pointing it out.

You supported that? Oscar was a much smaller paper champ, robbed the weakest link for the Wbo belt, not lineal. And even with all that, he didn't demand a maximal CW.

you said it never happened before...you were wrong

[Larry the boss]

He is leaving the division by giving up the belt, and insisting he's a Jmw, not a MW. You can't be a MW champ, much less lineal, if you're too small for MW

If he keeps fighting at 155(which is middleweight)and winning he will the lineal champion

Ring does not=lineal

??? what??? lol if he vacates the WBC he will still be Ring and lineal champion..i didnt make up anything..you actually just did..lol

Actually no Ring has already said Canelo will be stripped if he drops the WBC title.

As for Lineal it's an imaginary title. It doesn't exist, it has no physical form. It's all in the head of the spectator.

You can say Canelovwill remain Lineal Champion but I can say that with ducking and dropping the belt he forfeits his claim to the title.

[Lester Tutor]

so when is Lara moving up already? He gone beat Canelo innit? Angulo is hella heavy handed and Lara's getting the work to be better.

Lara vs GGG is what we need.
