Comments Thread For: Hearn Shoots Down, Rejects Tyson Fury's 'Lineal Title' Claim

Fury is the man that beat the man. He was also the man that stepped up to fight the man! When you watch 2 guys fight, and you call out the loser, you're not the man!
If Andre Ward called and said "We want to fight Usyk, or Joshua," even without any titles, what do you think Hearn would say? No? Eddie Hearn is FOS! He's salty because Fury is THE MAN in the UK now!

AJ won his titles fair and square by beating 2 undefeated champions plus Wlad Klitschko. If anybody had a title bought for him it was Wilder ... final eliminator with Malik Scott - fresh off a KO loss to Chisora - then straight in for the title against Stiverne, one of the 3 poorest HW champs in the history of the division.

Lineage is important from a historical perspective, and for judging the merit of a champion by looking at who he beat to win his title, which is why Fury deserved a high ranking as soon as he came back.
But there really are no such things as lineal titles.

Tyson Fury won the 'Lineal Title' from a man who didn't beat the man who held it before.
Joshua didn't get the titles out of a cereal box. He beat the current holders to unify. It's Fury's loss and fault that he wasn't the man in the ring when Joshua won.
There may have been a fantasy based argument that Martin or Parker were babysitting Fury's titles considering how they won them but they lost them.
I don't own my old house just because I've moved to a bigger and better one. That house now belongs to someone else because I decided to move on. Fury did the same with his titles when he had them.

Considering that he voluntarily vacated when there were rumours of his doping came to light, being stripped of the IBF and then finally, the Ring removing them as their champ, he was all but retired. He battered his body, that's not really someone who has intentions of fighting again! Obviously now, we know he wasn't retired and we are all the better for it!
For me The lineage is a funny one because Fury has masterfully marketed his Lineage as being something that means that he is a Champion but it seems more of a technicality title, especially as Klitschko didn't win the lineage from Lennox.
