    Sadly, I agree. We don't have one and haven't had one since he retired.

      the lineal title is vacated after louis retired.

      the same situation occurred a few times before, but very rarely for such a long time...

      not only this is a pretty weak HW division, but the top guys dont even fight each other!

          And to make it worse, now, the two top fighters will NEVER square off!

            I thought it was rocky marciano who died
            an undefeated lineal heavyweight champion?



            Joe louis lost it to ezzard charles, charles lost it to walcott and walcott lost it to marciano and marciano died in a plane crash.

                    well if you want to look at it that way it goes even further back...

                    Tunney won the title from Dempsey and retired so he retired without losing it...So its been awhile...

                      jeffries retired undefeated even before that: in 1905.

                      but there was always someone fighting the best out there to claim the title in a short time... not like now!
