Fury Confirms He Is the Man To Beat, Schools AJ On Lineal Champion History!!!

I like Fury but his chin in suspect.

If Wilder gets through with2 or 3 bombs I don’t think Fury’s chin can stand it.

I also guess if AJ connects with Fury on the chin it will also get KOd.

Fury strength is his defence, if he avoids large blows he will probably win all his matches by UD on all occasions.

Fury has an amazing chin. Took Wilders best shots, got up unhurt and dominated the rest of the rounds. Wilder is one of the biggest punchers ever seen in the sport.

Nobody is more juiced up than your boy AJ. But yeah, Fury is still recognised as the lineal champion by the majority of the boxing industry/media.

It is what it is, if Joshua wants to be known as the best, he'll have to get in the ring and prove it by actually fighting one of the best men in the division, not fat bums like Miller and shot midgets like Povetkin.

No he isn't, no rankings recognise Fury as lineal.

The boxing networks which are more important/followed than bull**** alphabet orgs and they all call Fury the lineal champion. Showtime, ESPN etc.

That's down to the article writers.

Their rankings don't have him lineal. ESPN/Showtime both have an agenda, Showtime called him lineal to promote the Wilder fight, ESPN now promote him. Majority of historians and experts don't recognise him, the history books will say vacated. You keep living in your little hype bubble.

Ok lets have a look.

Stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Lineage is established (again) when #1 fights #2 if the lineage is vacant. That was established when Klitschko fought Chagaev officially, even though that was bs since Vitali was #2 at the time, but could be argued that lineage was established in a few Wladimir Klitschko fights subsequently.

In any case, Fury's lineage is considered legit, however, it doesn't go very long back. It doesn't go back to john l sullivan like he says. not at all.

Mate, it's right there under 'lineal championship' on Wiki.

In combat sports where champions are decided by a challenge, the lineal championship of a weight class is a world championship title held initially by an undisputed champion and subsequently by a fighter who defeats the reigning champion in a match at that weight class.


Wlad was NEVER undisputed and therefore never lineal. Did he ever get marketed as lineal champion?

Was he considered 'the man'? Yes, but only because Vitali retired. But the man and lineal are, or should be considered separate things IMO.

The true lineal champion will be decided between a fight between AJ and Wilder with all the recognised gold on the line. That's when a new lineage will start just like Marciano to Patterson.

The majority of historians and experts are waiting for Joshua to man up and fight the best, then he gets exposed as the overrated weightlifter he actually is.

Fury got a good offer from Joshua recently, i didn't see him accept it.
