Comments Thread For: Lineage Matters Most at Heavyweight

[R-Hand Southpaw]

they were willing to sign faster than povetkin was. negotiations with povetkin were still dragging on while wilder's side was saying we'll sign this week, just put in writing the fight is next. hearn refused. then spent another two weeks finalizing with povetkin when he could have easily signed the wilder fight.

hearn didnt want wilder this year. plain and simple. hearn is great at his job. only an idiot would have wanted to rush into a wilder fight and hearns not an idiot

I give you a ton of props for dealing with all this dumb ass ******ity in this thread.

Fury is the lineal champ. It's not recognized by an sanction or organization. It's not an official title.

However, it's how fans recognize who the man was who beat the man.

It doesnt mean they're the greatest or it was the toughest fight, or they're the best fighter at the time, but just that they were the man who beat the man.

Fury beat the man.

Wlad became the lineal champ once Lennox retired because the lineage was broken and he was so dominate during his reign he became the man.

And by dominate I mean he didnt lose for like what. 10 YEARS?

I just saw Paulie comment on this subject

he see's it exactly the same as me

there are no relevant rankings at heavyweight

those guys have to fight, simple as that..... until then, who cares

when Klitschko was doing his thing, it was correct to rank him number 1 for this reason..... there was daylight between him and the #2 Povetkin..... and there was daylight between Povetkin and everyone else..... that is not the case with Joshua, Wilder, or Fury

Wait, aren't you the same dunce that said the Fury/Wilder fight was more than halfway sold out? And that we would have this rush of tickets bought at the last minute? Well here we are, right before the fight and half the arena is available hahahahah

Half the arena isn't available. Do you not know how to count? Anybody can go count the dots.

He said he was joking about being retired, plenty of lineal champions went longer than 2 years without fighting, and the PED test was for a fight before he became champion, and therefore, completely irrelevant.

Even Ring Magazine, which stripped Fury of their title, continues to refer to him as lineal champion. All of the media is still referring to him as lineal champion. The world has spoken. He is still lineal champion whether you like it or not. You're a punk kid crying on the internet. You have no say in anything.

Holy 5h1t WBC laying down the law and body slamming poor Robbie on the cobbles!! Viscious ownage, Bobby was given ample chance to take the L like a man in other threads as it was explained to him, but it came to this...

The Lineal is what it is

People are so brain washed. The lineal is what it is... It is something that comes from the fans, and it has the virtue of simplicity. It is very specific, and is not a formal ranking, it is a Title!

As far as the title being baloney now or back when... It is designed to give credability for unification in its simplest form. Its not a hard concept yet people like Bobby Robby cannot grasp the concept. It does not matter what any official ranking says about the lineal, it is not in their domain.

Ring says Fury is still the lineal champion. They say it on a daily basis. Just like every other major media outlet, including BoxingScene, ESPN and everyone else.




Nobody is in charge of lineal. Not Ring before and not TBRB now. The public keeps track on their own. It's very simple. The man who beat the man. Everybody other than obsessive AJ fans refers to Fury as lineal champion. Fury isn't TBRB champion, but he is lineal champion and even Ring, which stripped him of the Ring title, admits that he's still lineal champion.

The only person in charge of the lineage is the man who beat the man: Tyson Fury. Personal preferences, rankings and ratings go out the window.

listen if tyson fury had stayed retired for a few more years and then came back to fight david haye in a super fight in 2022 and haye won, haye would then be the lineal champ, he would be the MAN

We deeply regret separating from the lineal championship


ring itself admitted when it stripped fury that he was still lineal champion. robbie how ****** can you be?

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that the Ring acknowledged that they were diverging from the true lineage...

We will see today idiot. The fight was sold on several sites and each one of them had plenty of seats available because no one is going to this fraud clown show fight.
