RING makes Linares-Crolla for the Lightweight Title (GBP Bias Alert!)

[techliam]

You must be missing the entire concept of lineal. It not 1 vs. 3. It's 1 vs. 2.

Lineal is a matter of opinion, theres a few variations of the lineal title. It's almost as fractured as the ABC system

The ring has made many dubious decisions but this isn't one.

Name me 2 or 3 other fighters CLEARLY better than Linares and Crolla at 135.

Theres nothing clear about the division, that's why it can be seen as dubious

The RING 'championship' can be filled by a fight between rank 2 vs rank 5, its exactly what the WBC diamond belt is...worthless

This.

I think some people are trying to make non-issues with Ring rankings into issues. There are plenty of legit issues, you don't need to invent them.

I think the 3rd place fighter can also fight for the lineal/Ring belt.

Imo, Linares and Crolla are the two best at the weight anyway. Zlaticanin can wait his turn as can the others.
