A few examples showing the difference:
Garcia was RING champ after beating Khan, Lineal after beating Matthysse
Mayweather was RING champ after beating Guerrero, but (universally) lineal after beating Pacquiao.
Canelo was RING champ after beating Trout, but was never lineal at 154 (Mayweather became lineal after beating Canelo)
And as above, Stevenson is currently lineal, but the RING championship is currently vacant
With so many people confused as to the difference, it only highlights how irrelevant the lineal system is becomingLast edited by TexasCowBoy; 11-18-2016, 11:49 PM.

So to sum it up:
We got:
- One guy (Ward) who absolutely refused to fight Stevenson in 2014 when offered a two way fight and a shot at a second belt...
- One guy (Kovalev) who's awesome management team chickened out of a purse bid at the closest we've been for that fight to actually happen...
And the bad guy is Stevenson ... All 3 have been suckers at times in their career...
Hmmm'k ? ...Last edited by Superbee; 11-18-2016, 11:13 PM.

Hopkins, upon Stevenson's move to Showtime, wanted to take 75% of the money for their unification fight; Hopkins calls Main Events, offers up his belts, Main Events happily agrees and gives Hopkins 75% of the available money.
Ward-Stevenson is basically down to the timing not being there.
nice try though
