Lineal Title goes to the best fighter in his weight class. Mosley lost to Cotto he can't be the best fighter in his weight class when he has a fighter who has a win over him and a win over a champion Joshua Clottey!
The Lineal Champion has to be settled with Cotto vs Mosley.

The Lineal Champion has to be settled with Cotto vs Mosley. The lineal champion is NOT the best fighter in a division neccesarily... The lineal champion is the one whose lineage can be traced back to when there was just one division or the one whose lineage can go back many years...It has nothing to do with how good you are, but everything to do with who you beat... That's why its called the "lineal" title as in a "line" of title holders that can be traced back.. Cotto's lineage begins with the Jennings fight... Mayweather's lineage goes back to Sugar Ray... It's a timeline
