With Mayweather’s win he became lineal champion of the division; Genaro Hernández had previously beaten Azumah Nelson, whose dominance of the super-featherweight division had prompted boxing publications to give him the vacant lineal championship. The Ring stopped awarding belts to world champions in the 1990s, but began again in 2002. Nelson won his lineal status during the 1990s; therefore, The Ring’s vacant title was awarded neither to him, Hernández, nor Mayweather (although Mayweather was The Ring’s #1-ranked super featherweight).
In 1998, within two years of entering professional boxing, Mayweather decisively won his first world title (the WBC super featherweight (130 lb) championship) with an eighth-round technical knockout of The Ring world #1-ranked super featherweight Genaro Hernández after his opponent’s cornerman stopped the fight. It was Hernández’ first defeat in that weight class; he said after the fight, “He defeated me, he is quick, smart and I always knew he had the speed. I give him respect. He is a true champ”.
