Fury is the man to beat. The lineal champ (intact since Sullivan) and WBC champ (oldest and most respected title) and ring champ. Hes the kingpin. The boogeyman. If he wants to fight AJ for all the chips he will. If he wants to rematch McDermott he will. Arum and Fury run boxing.
WAR Fury!
Point here is Whyte doesn't call the shots Dury does, and Whyte can sit and rot while Fury takes care of whatever business he has to.
:dance:
Robert Helenius is goat
I thought the bogeyman of the division was the atg Robert Helenius

He officially is the lineal champ... whether it’s a continuation from beating Wlad or establishing a new lineage after beating Wilder in a 1 vs 2 matchup. TBRB, The Ring etc all recognise Fury as the lineal champion.
Well said.
He is not the lineal champ and lineal champ has no value anyway. The lineal champ is not in tact since Sullivan. Where did you get that nonsense. The chain has been broken many times. The man who beat the man has a nice ring to it but so often there is NO MAn who beat the man and a new man must be appointed and often not everyone agrees on who the new man is. Gene Tunny was the man and he retired so no man beat that man. Later Marciano was the man and he also was never beaten so no man ever beat that man. Lewis was considered the man and he retired. Wlad did not beat the man to become the man. He became the consensus man by eventually beating all challengers. I could see Fury being lineal champ for beating Wlad but he did not defend that title for over 3 years so he lost it just as you would lose any title you don't defend for over 3 years. Fury is now the WBC champion, no more and no less. He still has to beat AJ to become the man and the lineal champ and AJ owns 3 belts to his one belt.
