Thread: Shane Mosley is listed as Lineal Champion on one site

Mosley LC

Just sort of found this interesting.

Discuss.

Of course I have no time to go over the entire list of weight classes.

List of LC's

I don't disagree with the idea of Mosley being the lineal champ, but I do disagree with how he got there, particularly as they never had a number of people as lineal champs who in my opinion had right to be. It gives Cory Spinks the lineal welterweight championship, but chooses to not hand it on to Zab Judah when he beat him, and then obviously on to Baldomir, and Mayweather. Equally I felt that when Cotto & Margarito fought they were the top two guys in the division and IMO it should have been for the lineal championship. I see no reason why those other fights are less recognized than the one between Margarito & Mosley. So yeah whilst I don't disagree with the result necessarily, how they got there seems kinda stupid, and illogical. So that site is bollocks in my opinion, you can't just pick lineal champs you like.
