    Some info on the term,"lineal championship".

    In professional boxing, the lineal championship of a weight class is a theoretical world championship title. It is initially held at some moment in time by a boxer universally acclaimed as the best in the class. Another boxer can win the lineal championship only by defeating the reigning lineal champion in the ring. The lineal champion is described as "the man who beat the man".[1][2] There is no single canonical list of lineal champions at any weight class, because there is no agreed method...


    If anyone bragged on the term, "lineal title" in the case of GGG, it was probably because divisional champions wouldn't fight him, due to him KOing all other comers. That said, how do you know that the OP & those who agree with him devalue the term, "lineal title" just because Golovkin has won a divisional belt?
    I bet his 12yo son is a GGG fan and he can't stand it.

            anyone with a brain knows a guy who hasnt fought in division in over a year and hasnt won a fight there in over 2 years isnt a top 5 fighter in the weight divison.

            Ring magazine has been on the ****ter since Collins left.
            This was well before Collins left, duh. Yeah use common sense, and easily conclude Mosley was top 5 then, far better than the next best guys like Zaveck, Senchenko, Collazo etc

              You think this is Larry's alt? I don't think so. They are both fl0mos but Larry doesn't hate GGG this much I think.

                He wasn't ranked #2 because he was robbed to Martinez. He would've been lineal without the robbery.

                  Hey, I'm not saying the guy has beaten a ton of people.

                  I'm merely looking at his skill level and his pedigree and the fact that he's a southpaw with good power and boxing ability

                    Skill level is good but not spectacular and again, you bring up pedigree but you can't go back to a decade old amateur career lol
