Finally! Canelo isn't...

[BattlingNelson]

No, technically, for a promotional team representing a fighter that have displayed interest in acquiring all the belts, where their interest would stilll be in fighting a non title holder in Alvarez creates a loophole...especially since there's a champion in the WBO..

Therefore it wouldn't be Jacobs. It would be GGG vs Saunders undeniably, but team GGG refused to pursue it.

I have absolutely no idea what point you are trying to make.

GGG literally has to rematch Jacobs now to become lineal according to their rankings

Id rather see that next to be honest since it looks like the Saunders fight is a no go and Im not sure the canelo fight ever happens.

Even if GGG wanted it, I wouldn't fight him again straight away if I was Danny Jacobs. Better to wait till GGG/Canelo is settled first. By then, if GGG wins, he'll be a bigger name in the States than he is right now- meaning more money for Jacobs - and another year older.

Meantime, Danny can raise his own profile with an easier opponent, or maybe go after the WBO belt and BJS ... the man Golovkin ducked!

The Ring is just the GBP Company paper and should be viewed as such.

Transnational Boxing rankings has just changed the status of the MW title yesterday. That's way to late according to precedent (Erdei). They should correct themselves and acknowledge the Winner of the Golovkin-Jacobs bout as lineal champion. This American bias is disgusting.

If Jacobs had got the nod against GGG, do you think TBRB would be recognising him as lineal champ right now?

[Rock&Roll]

Seriously. That's bs. How can they take some random lipservice as gospel? They need to use objective criteria's as they did in the Erdei case. Now they use the date of which canelo was asked a question by Jake Donovan. What if he had asked that question 2, 3 or 6 months ago? This is rubbish.

To become champ #1 mw needs to fight #2 mw..... but ONLY after some journo asks a question... LMAO!!!

Boxing is in shambles in our time period... About as clean and tidy as a butcher's slaughterhouse.

I think what he's saying is that because GGG ignored an opportunity to fight BJS for the WBO title, presumably because he's waiting for Canelo instead, he doesn't deserve to be recognised as lineal champ by TBRB.

I understand the point he's making there, but I don't agree with it, because Canelo was still the TBRB lineal champion when GGG decided to go after him instead of BJS.

It's just crazy. Canelo says, "I'm not a MW" and gives up his WBC MW title belt, then he moves down to fight for a title at SWW. By all sane criteria, that should have been enough for any ranking board to stop recognising him as lineal MW champion.

[BattlingNelson]

I have no idea. Ask Cliff Rold or Jake Donovan. They both Work here.

[DinoCop]

the moment he gave the belt to GGG along with his nuts. GGG became lineal and the father of Canelo.


He legit forfeited.

Your savageness is really a shot in the head mate, keep doing what you doing

I still don't get it. If Mirko Troll Cop had a point, I'm sure he would have been more specific now.

Exactly. He said he wasn't ready for the 160 lb division. That's why he fought in the 155 lb division (!) and moved Down to the 154 lb division. Clearly these objective moves should have been enough for anybody to realize that the MW lineal title was vacated.
