In reality: MW **** on 154 and 168. There's beast at 160 we hardly even seen (Khurtsidze) lurking in the shadows. Murray and Strum hardly had a tough time cracking the Top ten of this so called stacked division called SMW.
And 154 is were the little boys hang out, hoping GGG moves up. Tell me how Tony Harrison starts his career as a MW but slowly turns too a JMW when it's time to fight top fighters.

Dirrel is still top ten and he still hasn't beaten anyone 7 years after entering the SS.
Lara still looking for his first world title.

Lets educate the casual fans of the forum a little.
The concept of a lineal champion was developed by boxing fans dissatisfied by the tendency of each of the various sanctioning bodies (WBC, WBA, IBF, etc.) to recognize different champions, and in particular to strip a champion of his title for refusing to fight its top-ranked contender. Prior to the 1970s, this rarely happened; the National Boxing Association (NBA) and the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) sometimes recognized different champions, but there was usually only a short interval before one champion defeated the other. In this era, a title vacancy was generally filled by having a single-elimination tournament box-off between two or more top-ranked contenders. The lineal championship is intended as a return to that era. Several top boxers have specified holding the lineal championship as a personal accomplishment (e.g. Lennox Lewis[3]) or goal (e.g., Nate Campbell[1]).
