Is Linear Championship as prestigious than the alphabets?

[The Rookie Fan]

Well when it comes to the Lineal Title you have to go to the old motto that sais the title does not make the champion but the champion makes the title.

The best example of this is when Roy Jones ruled the 175lb division he was never the linear champion. But he was without a doubt THE MAN at that division.

So the answer is: It depends on who is the linear champion.

What a crock of dogs pooh.

Jones inherited Michazelski titles.

He was scared to box outside America.

Michazelski has more claim to being the linear champ than Jones ever had.

Jones won titles Michazkeski was forced to give up.

He refused to box Michazlski cos he was scared.

You saying Jones deserves to be liner champ is a massive crock of dogs pooh.

He doesnt deserve it.

Ummm... NO I never said that. I said that he was not the Linear Champion. IMO he should not be considered the linear champion because he never beat Darious who was deservatly so, the the linear champion.

All I'm saying is that in that case the belts held more weight than the linear title. I respect Darious but I think it is safe to say that Jones was the #1 175lber of his time.

The Ring Magazine belts are the ONLY ones that matter.

I couldn't even tell you who owns the WBC, WBA, IBF in any of the divisions, because they're completely worthless.

Ricky Hatton may not hold any major title but he is considered the true champion at light welterweight.

[HattonTheHammer]

ring magazine should not be considered an actual championship more an accurate evaluation of divisional rankings.

Nadal won wimbledon but he is still 2nd in the world
Italy won the world cup but theyre not number 1 in the fifa rankings

Rankings are an estimation of who exactly is the best, but a championship it isnt!!

If the Ring doesn't keep track of who the Real Champions are, then who will?

The alphabet gangs so regularly strip titles, award titles, and create interim and "regular" titles, that there is no way of telling who the champ of each division is.

That is where the Ring comes in. All they are really doing is following the lineage of the Championship, but it is rapidly gaining approval from the boxing world which is sick of the corrupt alphabet gangs which have driven the sport into obscurity(in the US)

and the greatest boxer EVER. Knocked out a prime castillo with the best body shot EVER.

Prime castillo i don't think so mate.. He knocked an old castillo who was battling the weigh-ins than the actual fight.

anyway, alphabet titles and linear titles as well are fraud sometimes. Take a look at casamayor.. lets be honest here.. isn't that fight with santa cruz he was gifted? How come they award that to el cepillo. it should be vacant until someone else unify the division. back to square 1. Campbell is the front runner in there so does pacman. We already know that casmayor wants no piece of campbell so thats another issue. Legitimate number 1 campbell has the right to fight the champion. But the champion ducks him.. so strip him for not fighting the best around. sad but true. Now that Ring Mag was owned by a promoter (which happen to be the promoter of casamayor)... i doubt if still has the credibility like they used too. so on and on... this is the problem in boxing. alphabet titles if unify is far more credible now than 1 linear Mag award controlled by a certain powerful promoter.

This must have been the quickest poll answer Ive ever given ... linear every day of the week for me ...

I'm with you bro, the alphabets don't exist to me!

As for Jones/ Dariusz me & Mick had a long debate awhile back. Mick said cause Hill & Maske fought that created a linear champ but I disagreed because Jones had fought in the division before that fight occurred so Hill & Maske weren't the 2 best fighters in the division. From there Jones put all 3 belts together something Dariusz didn't (even if he was stripped unfairly he didn't get Jones part) so in my eyes Jones has more claim to the LH linear title than Dariusz.
