    BUT, come the 21st of May... it will be 18 months since conela fought in mw division, and ring belt stipulates one of the seven reasons you can lose your title is...

    'The Champion does not schedule a fight at his championship weight for 18 months'
    .
    Khan was May 2016. I agree that it was a farce of a MW defense (a Welterweight), but it was at 155, so it was a "defense of MW title" So Canelo still has Sept 2017 to defend at MW. Lets hope he doesnt duck GGG again

      Only you or Kigali would be defending CONela.

      Glass hearted conela. I guess you can relate to him and he's on your level, so you defend him.

      This just goes to show that the lineal title is a flawed system. You can blatantly duck a fighter and still be the 'lineal' champ.

      I guess the unified champ, also called the undisputed champ, is the way to tell who THE MAN of the division is.

        Unified and undisputed aren't the same either, Golovkin isn't undisputed. You don't know much about titles do you?

          Roger that. My bad, i was wrong.

          This is what happens when a fight is such a joke at Conelaweight.

            No, i just watch fighters technique and strategy, which gets talked about very little on here. From this, i can tell who is the best, not by some organisation telling me.

            I have to put up with talking about how many millions a certain fighter should accept or decline, rather than the statagem of boxing chess.

            As far as i know if you are unified champion, that makes you undisputed champion. You can't dispute between the alphabet org's, given we just proved lineal is meaningless.

              Canelo is kind of a bullshit, waste of space champion like Adonis at 175. And even though it's bullshit, Adonis is still the champion after Kovalev-Ward. Better to acknowledge the awful reality.

              Golovkin has been recognised as the best middleweight in the world for a good three years though. Ever since he crushed Macklin after Sergio looking like crap vs. Martin Murray.

                So you go on how they look? Me i go on who they beat. I think that's much more important, beat the man to become the man.

                Unified = more than one title
                Undisputed = all four of the major orgs

                  Who cares if it is or it isn't? It's a great fight that boxing needs.

                      Of course Bernard started 'his' lineal title when he unified the the WBC, WBA, and IBF titles, something Gololvkin's already accomplished.
