With Canelo about to fight outside the division for a second time (moving up to Super Caneloweight), most places are likely going to stop recognising his 'lineal' claim.
With a vacant title, Golovkin-Jacobs would effectively be No.1 vs No.2, making the winner the new 'Lineal Champion'. More importantly though, the Lineal title will actually reflect the No.1 fighter, which isn't always the case.
I personally don't care much for lineage, but I know a lot of you do. I see it as one more step towards completely unifying and then hopefully moving up. What are your thoughts?
