Complete Chronology of Lineal Middleweight Champions - The Man Who Beat The Man

The lineal championship is considered by many to be the true title to hold. The man who beat the man. Dating all the way back to the first true champion and carried through to the current reigning lineal champ. An attempt to make sense of the muddled mess of the sanctioning bodies and the Alphabet titles. From the first middleweight champion to ever hold the title, Jack Dempsey, to the current lineal middleweight title holder (At least until someone unifies) Canelo Alvarez. Relive every exciting moment in the reign of some of boxings greatest warriors. From Sugar Ray Robinson, Marvin Hagler, Monzon, Leonard, Dempsey, and the raging bull himself. The knockouts, the comebacks, the upsets, and everything in between, this video tries to paint as complete a picture as possible of the line of champions, from beginning to present day.

Your work is impeccable. Great clips and accurate reporting. The standard of excellence!

[@halleck3]

Glad you gave Hagler the respect he deserves. Dude was champ for over six years... and can you imagine how long he would've been champ had he not been first ducked, and then ripped off by the judges? And never knocked down. What a monster....

[@wingerding]

He defended the middleweight championship 12 times, why would he not be in the video?

Monzons knockout reel is stunning , he didn't just KO his opponents he knocked their souls out the ring , they looked brutal.

[@zionnewkirk4838]

I wouldn't be opposed to JV doing a documentary on him! Although, considering his "actions", he might not.

[@jbagger331]

Monzon is criminally underrated except by Marvin Hagler who said a fight between them would be 50/50.

His knockout reel of all the women in his life is also brutal, fucking trash human being.

[@BollyBolly570]

All those professional , amature or just boxing fans who dismiss the Lineal title as inexistent or frivolous should watch this! it is an outstanding accolade. Yet another awsome vid JV, thank you.

[@Renwoxing13]

Anyone who would dismiss the lineal champion pedigrees / “genealogy” is already a nobody who’s opinion , means *ABSOLUTELY* nothing, & WHO CAN SAFELY BE IGNORED AS AN *IGNORANT F00L !¡!* Even I know / feel / sense this and I basically know nothing about boxing - besides great informational KZbin videos such as this !

[@johnmorales6281]

Mixed martial arts fans do that a lot and I would know...especially the toxic Dana White loving Jon Jones fans that were dismissing the notion Lineal title when Ngannou fought Fury for a chance at double Lineal Champion

[@user-be1bj9zl1t]

That is why I don't count the IBF or WBO titles they were just plucked out of the air ! It is good for the boxers,think if there was only 1 champ defending once or twice a year, lots of guys would never get a shot

[@nxo91]

MT saying 'Perfect timing' is pure gold 🤣🤣

[@thejamnasium6447]

my ultimate end-all-be-all dream fight is Hagler vs. GGG. two guys who hit VERY hard. and also seemingly cannot be hurt and never get tired.

[@desanctisapostata]

[@Fausto410]

Same. I’ve always said this also

[@jackhandma1011]

Janibek might be our new hope for the lineal middleweight now.

[@desanctisapostata]

I hope Janibek challenges Canelo down the line, that would really cement him as the true lineal champion if he wins

[@ArtistFormerlyKnownAsShitlord]

Hagler vs Leonard is the fight that made my dad stop watching big-time boxing. He'll watch small club fights, but that's it. He still says to this day that the corruption and the robberies have ruined the sport. I agree with him. Hagler was robbed in that fight, and boxing now has become a joke, unfortunately. My dad boxed for 23 years. I boxed for 17 years. It's definitely not the same sport it once was.

[@vince11harris]

Never was? It always corrupt. It’s been corrupt since the early 1900s

[@mikemorris9902]

Hate to say it as Hagler is my 2nd favorite boxer ever behind Ali but he lost Sugar Ray Leonard that night 115-113 imho, it was close, arguably a draw but he lost

[@ArtistFormerlyKnownAsShitlord]

@@nick94nw My dad fought at 74kg - middleweight. I fought at 81kg - light heavyweight. My dad's record was 39-9-1. 22 wins by KO. My record was 26-7-2. 14 wins by KO. Neither of us was ever going to set the boxing world on fire, but we both enjoyed the game.

[@1ts_a_mystery]

thank you Joseph Vincent i fully enjoyed the video absolutely brilliant

[@pain2k446]

Thankful for the insane quality of videos consistently over the years

[@steve10]

I don't know a huge amount about the history of boxing pre 80s really , I've heard of Sugar Ray Robinson but never seen too much of him , this was perfect to get a glimpse of him , guy was a class act as well as one of the best , humbly went over to congratulate the new champ in a points loss , that's class. That Lamotta win was one sided , this is Jake Lamotta another legend , yet against Robinson you would think he hadn't had many fights Robinson was that good. Some of the KOs from the old 20's and 30s footage is quality , doesn't matter the era , a quality KO punch will shine in black and white or 4k

[@gmcmullins3251]

Perfect Timing!! Watchin this right now on Thanksgiving waiting on everyone to get here. GREAT HOLIDAY SHOW!! Perfect Timing!

Awesome. came to youtube to watch your Lineal HW vid and seen this just out. gonna watch it now. very much appreciated. hope to see one on all the traditional weight classes!

[@smb_plush]

Now this Thanksgiving day is complete. It's unfortunate that Charlo isn't putting his middleweight belt on the line this weekend, he's not cut from the same cloth as most of these champions.

[@DeeboComing]

Boxing is the only sport I believe where it's pretty clear that the guys from the 60s to the 90s are better than the athletes today. Take the top 10 fighters of nearly any decade from those times and face the guys from 2000 and on and the older guys would absolute rinse them. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The timbre and tone of Tommy Ryan's voice is just magical. 'I've often been asked what's the difference between now and then? The difference is, in my time you had to knock a man out to win the championship.' and he delivered it matter of fact-ly. As if to say, 'This was a different sport in my time, kid. You wouldn't understand anything about that world.' PS. Just based on the voice, it's a damn shame nobody made a movie about him with Joe Pesci in it.
