Holmes vs Frazer Nice one. Interesting that fighting an unranked boxer was enough for the WBC not to sanction the fight, and to then strip Holmes later. Whereas Fury fighting a non-boxer was actually encouraged by the WBC. Standards have really fallen.

Hard to research, but this is the best I can get; Foreman may have been an ex champ by then. Wiki has his second reign as 1994 to 1995. Foreman's fight against Briggs was 1997 and was an eliminator to challenge Lennox Lewis for his world title. (Can't look up which title right now because boxrec is a piece of sht) Foreman still held the lineal title but no abc belts. Lewis was WBC champ.

Joe Louis vs Johnny Davis is another example. 1940’s.

Foreman's fight against Briggs was 1997 and was an eliminator to challenge Lennox Lewis for his world title. (Can't look up which title right now because boxrec is a piece of sht) He was certainly an ex belt holder, but he was the current lineal champ going into the fight against Briggs. That differentiates the fight from Spinks going in against Tyson. Spinks didn't hold a belt but was the lineal champion... but Tyson's belts were on the line. I would argue Fury's lineal status was on the line against Ngannou. Making it a title fight of sorts. Mind you I still dispute Fury's lineal status but that's another story. As is the story that if a Lineal Champion can be banned for drugs, defend against Ngannou (or Pianeta, Seferi, Schwarz, Wallin, Chisora, for that matter)... then why do we even talk about lineal status as having any kind of worth.

Jesus Christ you are worthless. Dig your parents up out of the ground and punch them both in the mouth for the ****ty job they did raising you. Relax, it's just boxing talk. No need to get that personal unless you're that kid in the photo, then that childish outburst is understandable. We were all kids once.

Too difficult for you to extend across all divisions? It's all boxing after all. And lets be honest Fury was hardly an impressive world champ, with that weak record. Getting beaten by a novice I guess exposed that. Jesus Christ you are worthless. Dig your parents up out of the ground and punch them both in the mouth for the $hitty job they did raising you.
