Lineal Boxing titles from 118 pounds to heavyweight. Test your boxing knowledge

Posted December 19, 2008 on spm264's Blog:
See if you are able to answer these questions about lineal boxing champions. The lineal title is passed down in 2 ways. First is if you beat the man, you become the man. Second, the title is vacated and the next champion is crowned when two fighters ranked number 1 and 2 in their weight classes fight. Enjoy.
