Light Heavy Lineage.

How do you go from Darius to Gonzalez to Jones when Jones beat Gonzalez before Gonzalez beat Darious.

I know Jones is a lot of people's favorite fighter and I know he is possibly the greatest fighter of our generation but you can't just change the rules in order to give the lineage to the man you want.

JONES WAS NEVER THE LINEAL CHAMPION, get over it. Its not like it's that big of a deal anyway.

See the bottom, styill being edited.
Jones beat Woods for the title at that time.
Woods had beaten Gonzalez in 2001 I believe. But as I said I had'nt finished the list and had merely tried to acknowledge the best champion at the time.
Check between Foster and Spinks, there was similar confusion at that time.

I'm attempting to clarify a situation and pardon me for posting an unfinished list I had compiled.
Perhaps in future you could offer some contribution, rather than criticising aimlessly.

Sorry if I came of as rude but we went through this last month and I just don't understand the confusion.

If it is determined as fact that the Hill - Maske fight was for the Lineal Championship than there is no doubt that the Lineal Champion is Erdei.

Vergill Hill beat Maske to claim the the lineage

Dariusz beat Hill in 1997 before Jones did.

Dariusz did not lose, did not retire and did not move up in weight, which are the ONLY ways to lose or vacate a lineal title, untill he fought Gonzalez and loss in 2003.

On his very next fight Gonzalez lossed to Erdei in 2004

Erdei is still campaigning as a Light Heavy and has not lossed, ergo he is the Lineal Lightheavyweight Champion.

The only way to dispute this (and this is not an opinion, it is the way it is) is by claiming that the Hill Maske fight was not for the Lineal Title. If the Hill Maske fight was for the lineal title than Erdei is the current Lineal champion.
