Judah was Undisputed and Lineal at welterweight. It doesn't mean Zab or Baldomir were necessarily better than Manny or could beat him but they were actually Lineal, unlike Manny.

Manny became the Lineal Welterweight because he won it vs Bradley.

False. Bradley was never consensus #1 or #2 at welterweight. Keith Thurman was ranked higher.

Nah, here's why. "Pacquiao and Bradley entered the bout rated as the top two welterweights by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board and ESPN (though not Ring Magazine"

So they weren't the consensus #1 and #2... thanks for making my point

Yeah i don’t get it either. Bradley fought less difficult and non seasoned Welterweights to be considered highs than Thurman. Keith got rid of Diego Chaves while Bradley was playing around with Chavez along with Brandon Rios....

Thurman for years always wanted the Floyd and PAC fight. He was notorious in interviews that he deserved the shot with Pac or Floyd. The WBA Regular since Chaves must have meant something...

Pacquiao LOST to Floyd, the Lineal champion. Floyd retired. Pacquiao never beat the consensus #1 or #2 at welterweight while he was #1 or #2. Tim Bradley was never consensus #1 or #2. Stop with the bull****. Pacquiao is an amazing ATG that accomplished a lot. But he was NEVER Lineal at welterweight. He still could end up Lineal though.
