Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Wilder Cares About Legacy, He'll Fight Joshua Next

[REDEEMER]

Okay, so you have no clue what you’re talking about. That’s cool, lots of people on here don’t. You should just avoid acting like you do know what you’re taking about. You’re spreading misinformation just to prop up Anthony Joshua. It’s even more upsetting that in an age where information is literally at your fingertips, instead of reading up on the Lineal title or lineage or anything, you made something up.

The problem is anyone even uneducated people like you can look.up the WBA lineage and see the made up most prestigious WBC title is as made up as a lineal non existent belt. The truth is you are garbage fans and the paper champion with his unofficial loss at least helped slow your roles on here.

Wilder accepted the flat fee:

Eddie Hearn is the one who forgot to include small, but important details in the contract. Example: A date and the guarantee to fight Joshua next.

But then agreed to fight Fury with a date and venue added a month later!

They also fought Povetkin after.

Why are you bringing up wilder? I’m simply teaching you what the Lineal championship is, since you keep claiming it’s the WBA. (It’s not) so I’ll help you out.

The wba regular is not the Lineal championship
The wba super is not the Lineal championship
The wbc is not the Lineal championship
The WBO is not the Lineal championship
The ibf is not the Lineal championship
The ring title is not the Lineal championship.

The Lineal championship is the Lineal championship. And it will always be the Lineal championship no matter how many times you ******s stick your head in the sand and claim it doesn’t exist.

You’re like a flat earther. You can believe what you want, but everyone is laughing at you and you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Fans want the best fighting the best, AJ is not in the top 2 anymore.

Based on what? There is no easy way to make that comparison. They are still very evenly rated, except one has almost all the belts, unification would clear up any doubt.

It’s been a thing for 200+ years. The ABC belts are new, and not a thing unless you’re a sanctioning body.

Very convenient for Wilder fans, all of a sudden a system that boxers have invested in for 20-50 years is not important anymore and lineal is back in fashion. Long live Joe Calzaghe, lineal middleweight champion in that case.

Joe was never Lineal at middleweight though...he was at 168. Has anyone ever disputed that? Joe was a great champion of one of the least popular weight classes. Lineal has always mattered most in heavyweight though. This is nothing new.

If lineage wasn’t important, nobody would track it.

I meant SMW for JC, but I guess the point I’m making is that ‘lineal’ champion is now being touted as the most relevant title, but that’s only because of the Fury PR machine. Let’s be honest, how often do you have a conversation that goes ‘whose the champion at X weight class?’ followed by, ‘and whose the lineal champion?’ ....it never happens, no one cares.

If a boxer is active they are generally in possession of the title they lay claim too, or at least one of them.

I am not discrediting Fury, Wilder or Joshua, imho they are equally ranked, however I believe unified titles far exceeds ‘lineal’ bragging rights, so Wilder should settle that argument first, then rematch Fury, I mean how much more exciting would that bout be if it were for the undisputed titles and lineal title...unprecedented

If Hearn and Joshua cared about Joshua's legacy, they would have taken the biggest guaranteed offer in boxing history to fight Wilder.

All this futile talking, let's get this fight made then.
