Comments Thread For: Wilder: Fury's Lineal Claim Is ******; It's An Invisible Title!

If Wilder had beaten Fury, he would call himself lineal champ now.

If your lineal champion you act like a lineal and not face off with Franz Fritz and a Swedish bin man.
Fury will get knocked out by wilder in the rematch and end this charade and his silly claim to fame lineal title

Integrity is lost with all the bs the sanctioning bodies do to fighters due to politic$ ...so it's good too see a lineal champ like fury will always be recognized. Can't deny or manipulate history.

You said that Wilder would KO Fury in the first round in the first fight and said that Joshua would beat both of them.

Even if Wilder wins, he'll start calling himself lineal so it's not going anywhere.

King Fury fights whoever he wants, deal with it.

Exactly, alphabet titles mean sod all.

Fury is the rightful owner of all the belts anyway, he should have the WBC belt but was robbed, and he never lost the others in the ring.

I kind of half agree with Wilder for once, "lineal" is not a title but recognition. The sticking point is that Fury disappeared for the best part of 3 years and claimed retirement at one point during that time, so the whole lineal recognition process should have re-set.
Fury should however have been named WBC champ after his fight with Wilder. Nobody outside of Wilder's camp and his hardcore fans believe that Wilder won or even drew that fight once Fury heard the final bell.

And let's not forget the PED use and subsequent ban. This too often gets conveniently overlooked and should be a massive asterix on Fury's record.

He'd surely have been stripped of any title he had - even a fictional one!

He wasn't saying that when he thought he could just KO Fury in their 1st fight lol

That lineal stuff was a big part of the promotion and I bet if Wilder won he would be parading with that title

The duplicity of fight promotion is often laughable. You get greater consistency from lumpy gravy than from the opinions of fighters/promoters/trainers.
