So having 3 belts means less than having 1?

Order of importance for Heavyweight titles:
1. Lineal
2. The Ring
3. WBC
4. WBA (Super)
5. IBF
6. WBO
7. IBO

The winner of Wilder vs Fury will be lineal, Ring, and WBC champion. That's way more important than having a bunch of other belts, at least one of which will likely be stripped soon.

I agree 110%!

AJ has more titles and the best resume between him, Fury, and Wilder.

Well said. He actually conducts himself like a champion too.

there are plenty of awful, clueless, posts... in this thread

this is a casual-fan paradise

[just the facts]

Joshua ballgaggers are having a tough time right now. Their hero got slapped around by the Pillsbury doughboy and then ran like a little girl in the rematch. Face it, Joshua doesn't have the speed or skill to beat Fury and doesn't have the chin to last vs Wilder.

Tonight's winner should obviously be the #1 heavyweight

That’s your opinion of order of course. Not everyone will agree lineal will apply to the winner, I certainly don’t consider lineal until Joshua has fought the winner of this fight.

For me- the resume is most important and whoever wins this - will still be behind Joshua on resume. Clearly they will have closed that gap and have a second decent win (behind klitschko or Ortiz) but they need to build upon it, for me a third fight won’t add anything to the winning fighter (unless its a draw again)

Who other than hardcore Joshua fans is denying that the lineal title is at stake tonight?

Honestly the WBC has lost a lot of credibility these days.I dont rate them as high as i use to.

Why do you feel they've lost credibility?

You could switch it round and say who other than wilder/fury fans actually think fury is lineal??

Works both ways.

The only way to settle it is simply for Winner to fight Joshua and then we actually have a clear number one
