Canelo is still Lineal/Ring champ at middleweight

[HeroBando]

Lineal means more than alphabet belts. Beat the man to become the man. That's how it should be.

Usually yeah but here that rule fails miserably, right? How would you amend it to make more sense?

I've mentioned this months ago and many of these Golovkin fans didn't even know what lineal is, they thought Golovkin would become lineal if the WBC stripped Canelo.

If it would be worth teaching these fools how to look up every divisions lineal champ on CBZ, I would. But truthfully, they're more than happy to fill the Forum to help GGG cover his sanctioning fees against Heiland.

I wonder if they're clever enough to figure out that Jacobs won't be fighting GGG either since he'll be on the Santa Cruz vs. Frampton undercard.

hahah cantnela is a crybaby coward!!

he shamed his people even worse then when they let trump win the election

[buddyguns]

The other guy forfeited. That's a win

Wins go on records...and a failed negotiation has never went on any fighters record as a win.

So he still holds a lot of leverage,He dropped the WBC so he can demand fights at 155(b1tch move,YES) But now he doesnt have to back down from his stance anymore and if you want to fight him you have to come in at 155....(hilarious i know) But truth is if GGG wants that big fight he has to either move up or down point blank period....and if he wants the lineal title or Ring title he will have to dance to Canelo's tune

exactly...

vacating removes any leverage ggg and his arrogant delusional bull****ting team had

[LaidOut]

He's got one big Yellow Belt that no one can take away. SMH for boxing.

[bojangles1987]

Alvarez isn't middleweight champ of a goddamn thing. His lineal claim is even more worthless than Quackenson's.

[bojangles1987]

Don't be ******ed. His lineal title means **** all if he's not willing to face the best people in his division. It's a paper title.

It's like pretending Carlos Baldomir was "the man" at welterweight or Stevenson is right now. Lineal doesn't mean **** when you won it in a fraudulent way and won't defend against the best, and it doesn't mean **** when there are better fighters being denied opportunities.

Wins go on records...and a failed negotiation has never went on any fighters record as a win.

Oh, this one goes down as a Win for GGG. Canelo es la deshonra.

Lineal means more than alphabet belts. Beat the man to become the man. That's how it should be.

It's funny that when people parade Manny as an eight division world champion, his two lineal titles at featherweight and super lightweight are valid. But Canelo's lineal title...it's ****.
