      Til he loses at MW hes still the lineal champ and has defended it this year. He has wins over top 10 guys at 154 and a title so a #1 ranking makes sense. A fighter can hold titles in multiple classes, how do you think Henry Armstrong held 3? In an ideal world there would be a timeline for lineal championship but there isnt. Nothing new.

        QUESTION: If GGG/Jacobs fight happens, will that fight declare the new Lineal champ at middleweight?

          Canelo beats #8 Ring ranked Liam Smith and now gets ranked #1 at 154, ahead of Lara, Andrade and the Charlos.

          Canelo also still holds the lineal MW title, even though he never fought at 160, never beat a legit MW and his last 2 defenses were against Amir Khan, a Welterweight and Liam Smith a Junior MW.

          The Ring Policy states

          Here are the situations in which a champion can lose his belt:

          - The Champion moves to another weight class.

          Pretty clear that Canelo will be promoted as Lineal Middleweight Champion who is also #1 at 154. Gives Canelo alot of leverage in future fights.

          Do you think these Ring Ratings are legitimate and fair? Does Canelo still deserve to hold the Ring MW Belt? Does Canelo deserve to be ranked #1 at 154?
          Look, I'm 100% a GGG fan, but what's the problem with what the Ring are doing?

          - Canelo was the consensus no.1 JMW before fighting Cotto, he beat a legitimate beltholder, in Liam Smith. It's only fair he retains his No.1 position.

          - For as much as we complain about the Cotto incident, he held the Rings lineal title. He defended it against Amir Khan less than 6 months ago. We know he's probably fighting at 160 next, so why would you strip him of the title?

          Rings ratings have bothered me in the past but in this situation, I see no problem with it! Especially with the lineal title, I believe that you need to beat the man to win that title!

            Absolutely not..

            1. Canelo has defended his lineal title this year.

            2. I like the unification fight for GGG but let's not jump the gun with Danny. Jacobs has fought two ranked MW opponents in the last 6 years, one of whom (Pirog) starched him, the other one (Quillin) he bumrushed and beat in the first.

            I find it hard to see how Ring have Danny as the number 2 ranked MW if I'm honest

                  How is he a paper champ when he beat THE CHAMPin the Ring?? if anything GGG is a paper champ seeing how he was handed 2 of his paper titles..Canelo won ALL OF HIS TITLES BY BEATING OTHER CHAMPIONS

                      Canelo is the best fighter at 154 and holds a win over the 2nd best fighter in the division. Let Andrade or the Charlo's fight someone decent and see what happens to them.
