    When the title is being defended against average WW's like Khan, and not the clear 'challenger' (i use that term very loosely as GGG is a much more proven MW than Canelo) then the title stops being meaningful.
    Also bare in mind it's not the first time these kind of scenarios exist.

    Roy Jones was never the Lineal Champion at LHW, despite having basically all the belts. But everyone knew who the King of LHW was.

    There's plenty of instances. The Lineage simply doesn't hold the weight it once did.

      Exactly. Lineages come in and out of relevance all the time

      its fun to follow, but it doesnt always indicate who the 'real champion' is.

      Does anyone recognize Adonis Stevenson as the champion at 175 anymore?

        Wow Khan is average ? Show some respect he has 10x the better resume than gg. And he's willing to move up to fight anyone unlike gg

          I'd have him lower half of the WW top 10.

          So he is, at world level, an average WW.
