Manny won the lineal title when he beat Bradley according to Cyber boxing, and his last loss was to Horn!!!!

Pacquiao recognized by Transnational Boxing Rankings Board (http://www.tbrb.org/) and the International Boxing Research Organization-affiliated Cyber Boxing Zone (http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/welter.htm) as the new lineal world welterweight champion.

To become the lineal welterweight champ a boxer would have to clean out the weight class the way Crawford did at 140.

making up your own rules for lineal titles now are yah?

Technically no because Pacquiao retired after the third Bradley fight, but it was a sham retirement like most retirements in this sport since he had another fight scheduled about 3 months later.

Technically speaking yes, but not many people actually considered Pacquiao the lineal Champion.

With the exception of the Heavyweight division who really cares about lineal and why? Fighters move around so much these days it's a mess.

weird imo should be reinstated if for example no other top welterweights fought in between that time frame etc....


they also stripped canelo of the lineal titles when canelo said that hes not mw champion (in really he was talking about the wbc title etc)



but man those dudes are super strict....

maybe if the alphabet belts where just as strict we would get better fights etc
