You got jokes. This guys never fought a MW in his life. Not that it's a problem for Floyd fans.

Listen, Canelo is the lineal middleweight champion of the world. He is the man who beat the man who beat the man. Nothing is ever going to change that history.

In a world where there are so many belts floating around it is important to recognize the true lineage and the true champion.

This title would mean more if he actually won it at the full middleweight limit. I never thought of Cotto as middleweight champ and I won't see Canelo as that either. Its just sad that money is taking that much precedence over everything else. If its allowed oh well.

Beat the man who beat the man? You're referring to broke down and old Sergio Martinez? Wow.

That's right. Canelo beat Miguel Cotto who beat Sergio Martinez who beat Kelly Pavlik who beat Jermain Taylor who beat Bernard Hopkins.

That's the lineage of the current king of the middleweights.
