It seems strange to me that Tyson Fury is built up as the lineal champ but no one talks about Terence Crawford.
It really surprises me that top rank and espn don’t talk about it at least. Is it just because Fury doesn’t have a belt? I would think saying lineal and WBO welterweight champion would make Crawford’s welterweight run seem like a bigger deal.
If you’re wondering what the heck I’m talking about, Manny Pacquiao retired as lineal welterweight champion after beating Tim Bradley but returned 7 months later. He eventually lost to Jeff Horn who lost to Crawford.
If Tyson Fury can be retired for two years and not lose his lineal status, Pacquiao certainly didn’t lose it in 7 months.
