Nice, got 90

no, he did not. he won the ring title, he did not resume true lineage.

a vacated lineal crown can only be contested by the number 1 and 2 contenders. chagaev was ranked number 3.

A lot of people now ride that rule like it is "Law" but there was a time where crowning a lineal champion required more. I could show you plenty of times in the past where it also required undisputed claim to the title. But in recent times fans and more importantly, promoters decided they can say who is number one and number two to get their fighter a lineal title without the risk of fighting the other champions. We live in a time of shortcuts.

Too bad he could not fight Vitali Klitschko and make it legitimate. I don't blame him because they were brothers but there will always be that question.

That's what I thought as well

He knocked him down at the ropes but not through or out of the ring. Funny that I watched it just last night.
