no **** sherlock

my question was if they rate canelo over ggg because of "lineal", then why do they have kovalev over stevenson, since stevenson is "lineal"

ESPN and most other sites has Stevenson as the Lineal. The Ring Magazine for some reason has it vacated as of 11/2015.

The lineal championship is such bull s h i t. Stevenson sucks. Canelo fought Cotto at 155 and Sergio was a cripple when Cotto won the title. When there as ONE REAL TITLE and not a 1/2 a dozen it meant something. It just sounds ****** these days.

Boxrec doesn't go by lineal titles. Their rankings are broken, pretty sure Canelo was top 10 p4p even after the embarrassment to Floyd. Useful for ballpark rankings, that's all

But dont take off nothing , why do you need to add or subtract anything to try and equalize them , it is what it is , GGG has beat nobody while Ward has beat elite fighters thats a fact and its my only complaint with Gennady he doesnt fight good elite guys and talks BS to avoid fighters better than he has ever fought .

It could easy be settled , put them in the ring with out this ducking BS CW and see what happens , Im very confident Ward will school him he has so much more skill as a fighter , we seen years of Floyd nullifying big punchers and Ward will do the same to GGG , Gennady has the power but lets see what happens when its against an elite opponent that can really fight that has a little size on him .

So where do you want them to meet? No matter what weight class you set it at Ward is so much bigger than Golovkin. Catchweights should exist for situations like this, rather than what Canelo is doing.

Canelo should fight Lemieux at 160 to test the waters, see if he is competitive or not at that division, FOR REAL. See if he can take real punches and hurt real middleweights with his.

In the meantime, GGG would get another juicy step-aside fee, and he can fight Lara who has been "challenging" him, and maybe for the 1st time in his life, he would actually fight a boxer who I believe will not allow him to knock him out in the early rounds. Somebody who would actually test whether or not GGG has any skills and stamina, or just brute power in the early rounds.

If they both won convincingly, Canelo-GGG should be made right afterwards, otherwise Canelo would prove to be the biggest chicken in boxing in this era.

Wards best opponent is a cherry pick for Ggg per you guys, even with the weight and home turf advantage. I disagree but Froch was leaning your way: "we'll swerve him if we can, punches like a mule, dangerous fight"

Then why was lil'G too chicken to fight Ward ?

This article is correct.

HBO are protecting lil'G, because they think that they can make money off him..... and lil'G is going along for the ride.

[aboutfkntime]

Wade was top ranked, a mandatory and undefeated. Butter bean ain't even close. Yes Ward beats everybody but it's in the manner he does it. Take Runweather, he beat everybody, by decision ! I bet you Kovalev will beat your boxing boy Ward soon.

He was a green rookie, why spout all that rubbish ?

And, you know deep down in your heart that Ward will beat Kovalev.

Not long to go now.

EXACTLY yoshik !

Many great fighters never had a chance to become a lineal champ..... because there was no such thing, back in the day we had a real champ.

And yet, listen to the fanboi's tell us how important lineage is, when it suits them.

A lot of clowns on this site have their knickers in a twist because a few silly organisations have ranked Canelo ahead of Golovkin because of lineage..... despite the fact that Canelo has never fought a middleweight opponent, not one..... EVER!

That HeroBando idiot is here asking the author whether Canelo will still be the lineal champ if the WBC decide to strip him LMAO

[buge]

You forgot Arthur Abraham, Mikkel Kessler, Sakio Bika as well. All fighters who are leaps and bounds beyond Anyone ggg has beaten. Hell Darnell Boone would beat ggg's resume.

No, I didn't forget about them.

Abraham, Kessler, Bika are not better than Lemieux, Murray, Geale.

[HeroBando]

Kessler is better, however 168 Dawson is worse
