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
