Should the Mayweather v.s Mosley be for the #1 spot

[jrosales13]

Ok so then that would be starting a new line of succession right it would be as if Floyd vacated the title right

Right, after Floyd vacated the title. The winner of Marg-Shane was starting a new line of succession. Shane won... So now if Floyd wins and he would be the lineal champion once again. But, won't be the Ring champ....

[DR.ORGYY]

the winner is clearly the number 1 ww.

The ring will make the winner the p4p number 1.

how is that possible if neither of them is p4p #1????u gotta beat pacquiao to take the crown......

Yes, it's for the #1 spot at welterweight.

Marg vs Shane wasn't for the lineal belt for some odd reason. May vs Shane should be for the ring welterweight title, but it isn't, at least not by the Ring's standards. However, the winner of this fight should clearly be ranked the number 1 welterweight, and would probably have to beat Pac or the number 3 guy to be lineal by the ring's standards.

Marg vs Shane was for the lineal title, it just wasn't for the Ring title.

The biggest misconception that goes on with fans IMO. Is that they think that the Ring title is the lineal title. And, that is not always the case.

[Schmerzen]

the winner will be the king at 147, there is no doubt.
if floyd wins, it would be a close race where u can make arguments for either fighter being p4p #1.
should they fight after floyd beats shane, nobody has to worry about who is the better fighter anymore.

Huh. So the Ring dropped the ball on that? I could see an arguement that wins over Cotto and Clottey could put Pac over Mosley from a rankings standpoint, but if Marg vs Mosley had be for the Ring belt, that wouldn't of mattered. Had that happened, for Pac to have been over Mosley, he would of had to beat Mosley himself.

Yea the Ring dropped the ball.

The way the Ring did it. Pac has a claim to be the #1 ranked WW. But, Shane is the lineal champ. So Shane-Floyd is not for the ring title and it shouldn't be since Pac is ranked #1. But, it will be for the lineal belt and Pac will be the #1 contender for that belt...

If Floyd absolutely goes nuts on Shane he will be ranked Number 1.

He only lost it to retirement. I'll bet all my points The Ring ranks him number 1 if he destroys shane.

[immortal tech]

I still say that this fight should be for the ww ring belt since they had Marge at #1 and Mosley beat the number one. I don't care for the inactivity excuse because SSM did go out of his way trying to fight both Mayweather and Pacquiao so he still is the #1 IMO and Floyd is #3. this fight should be on of the cases that 1 v.s 3 being a title fight IMO

[Dan...]

Yeah I think it should.
