I remember when most considered Tyson the true heavyweight champ but Spinks was the lineal heavyweight champ. When they finally fought Tyson crushed Spinks in the first minute of the first round.So much for the mythical magical lineal title.
If retired fighters are still lineal then neither Wlad or Fury ever were. Lewis still is. If death doesn't rule out then Lewis isn't Marciano is. Whatever rules you follow Fury isn't lineal. Sorry.The truth sometimes hurts and pisses people off but I think this is the truth. Wlad never beat a "the man". He did just what AJ is doing. He beat whoever had a belt just like AJ did. AJ is not lineal either but he is closer to it than anyone else.
Fact. when Fury vacated all his belts years ago he vacated his lineal title as well. Fact. You can't go years without defending any title lineal or otherwise and keep that title. Fact. Ring magazine is bigger on this lineal BS than anyone. Hell, they still consider Canelo the lineal middleweight champ.Fact. Ring no longer recognizes Fury as the lineal heavyweight champion. The current Ring ratings are champion VACANT. Number 1 contender AJ. 2nd Wilder,3rd Povetkin,4th Ortiz, 5th Whyte, 6th Parker, 7th Breazeale and 10th Fury. So according to Ring AJ has defeated the 5th 6th and 7th ranked contenders and will soon fight the 3rd ranked contender. Wilder will be fighting 10th ranked Fury. The only champion in that ring will be Wilder and the only title at stake will be Wilder's WBC title. I guess this guy has to tell Ring to GTFOH as well since they dare to disagree with him.
Retiring vacates the lineal title.
Floyd and Pacquiao vacated their lineal titles when they retired and were no longer recognized as lineal champs when they came back. The same should hold true for Fury.
Fury is the man who beat the man, so yes, he's lineal. AJ nuthuggers like Robbie Barrett can cry about it all they want, but it doesn't change that fact.
Fury is only considered lineal so they can bill this fight as champion vs champion. Period.
I like fury but he isnt number 1 in the division after not fighting for 2 plus years and coming back to beat....What's his name again?
You constantly shhhhit on Fury why is that Robbie? Is it because you'll never get past British level?
Forgot you were a Matchroom shhhhithouse.
The poster Robbie is some obese shhhithouse who lives round the corner from Stefy Bull's gym, where Robbie Barrett trains. He once got beatdown verbally on here, so tried to entice another poster to turn up at Stefy's gym to challenge "Robbie Barrett". He obviously thought he was pulling an epic troll move, with no consideration for the fighter he was putting in harm's way. For all he knew, some deranged fooker could have turned up at the gym with a machete. Impossible to respect a poster who would make such a shhhithouse play.

I just think it's funny to watch all these British knobs falling all over themselves to discredit Tyson Fury.
Just go watch DaysInn and STFU. Wilder vs Fury doesn't involve you.
