Joe Louis. Retired in '49 as champ.
He came back out of retirement and lost to Marciano. But by that time a new line had started.
Was Marciano suddenly lineal?
Ultimately it didn't matter as Marciano beat Walcott also.
I think that's where we are now, except it's still vacant rather than sitting with Joshua. You can't start it from his Parker fight.
Fury needs to beat Joshua, or the others need to beat Fury and win a 1vs2 fight (which could be the same fight).

No-one doubted Wlad was the best did they? He just didn't fight his brother.

Even a dickhead like you should understand that.
