In all reality, there isn’t a heavyweight champion right now. There hasn’t been one since Tyson Fury retired and vacated the belts.
When that happened, you had multiple top contenders who were vying to prove themselves as the best but nothing was never proven. When Fury came back, he joined that group and it still isn’t sorted out.
When you get ABC titles latching onto contenders, it makes everything among the fans so disgusting. Fans argue about who is actually champion. They also want one fight among top contenders because they think that’ll prove who the champ is and all they think about is that one fight!
News flash, there isn’t a champion and one fight wasn’t going to determine one! When you have three guys who have a claim, there isn’t a champ and you can’t figure it out all at once!
I mean come on, Deontay Wilder won his “championship” by beating Bermane Stiverne! He won his title while Wladimir Klitschko was still the guy. Wilder didn’t win a championship, the WBC just doesn’t know what the hell its doing. That belt is ridiculous.
Charles Martin won the IBF title over Vyacheslov Glazkov because the IBF stripped Fury for signing to rematch with Klitschko. Who cares about the lineage of the IBF belt? That’s a joke and the people that run the IBF are clearly ******. Andy Ruiz doesn’t have a claim to the heavyweight championship because of the IBF.
The WBA waited for the biggest fight at heavyweight to get signed. It turned out to be Joshua-Klitschko so they picked that fight to determine their champion. It doesn’t mean the winner is clearly the champion of their division. And the WBO felt that Parker-Ruiz was all that needed to happen to determine who was the best heavyweight. Both of those titles are jokes as well!
What actually happened on Saturday is a lower ranked contender upset a highly ranked contender. When Wilder fights Ortiz, it’ll be two highly ranked contenders fighting to move up the ladder. When Fury fights Schwarz, it’ll be a highly ranked contender trying to hold his place.
So instead of being upset that a super fight that would have determined one champion is gone, let’s realize that there isn’t going to be a champion until one guy sits on top of the mountain having defeated the vast majority of the top contenders in the division. It’s a while away from happening but it’s how a champion should be determined.
And knowing the name of that champion will be so much for satisfying than having a paper champion determined by crooked sanctioning bodies.
