  • Understanding Lineage when the Lineal Champion brings the sport into disrepute

    Current lineal champs:

    HW: Wladimir Klitschko
    LHW: Adonis Stevenson
    SMW: Andre Ward
    MW: Sergio Martinez
    JMW: Floyd Mayweather
    JWW: Danny Garcia
    JFW: Guillermo Rigondeaux
    FLY: Akira Yaegashi

    Why can't Lineal Champions be stripped of their status in the boardroom so to speak if:

    a) ducks - stevenson not fighting hopkins or kovalev this year. "stay-busy" fights to be looked upon as ones failure to uphold credibility of lineal status.if sergio martinez avoids ggg. mayweather not fighting lara and fighting at 147 instead of 154 where he holds the Lineal Champion status. mayweather should relinquish lineal status at JMW. Bradley vs Pacquaio should be for the Welterweight Lineal Title since Mayweather refuses to do business with their promoter.

    b) robberies - garcia getting gift vs herrera

    c) inactivity - if ward's promotional issues continue, if rigo is completely blackballed preventing him to secure fights vs legitimate challengers

    Murray v Martinez.

    "Lineal" is far from full-proof. Boxing is messed up, you can't tell hardly anything from titles alone.
