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]).

You think because canelo people are calling 160 trash? LOL Even GGG admitted to this year's before canelo got there when he said I am willing to go to 154 or 168 to find better fighters you dumb azzz SMH
Why was he trying to fight Chavez and frock if 160 has all these beasts? LMAO
Even the 2nd best fighter there (Ramirez) is considered a tune up fight for GGG, Roy Jones was like it's too early too feed him to Golovkin, it's a **** division.Comment

Guys like Canelo never go to purse bids. I bet your other account knows this. Where are you getting these 3-4lbs from anyway? There's no offer, these guys are clearly forfeiting the beltComment

I read it fine but they didn't create anything, they merely reappriopriated a concept and called it something else. It comes down to the best fighting the best. What you're suggesting goes against that concept.Comment

Its well know and common sense. But these GGG nut huggers will literally say anything no matter how false or ridiculous to defend this fraud. It's hilariousComment
