Is Fury the Lineal Champion?

He was banned for Peds, this is facts. Two years backdated ban, let's not confuse things here, there's no subjective viewpoint on this, it is actual facts. He didn't lose his titles by being screwed over or anything, it's not remotely comparable to Ali.

He failed a drug test, refused a drug test and sat out two years until his drug hearing where he received a backdated ban. Fury was officially banned for two of the years he was inactive, this is facts.

 

Yes it's a fact he was banned, what's unclear is whether he's guilty or not.

But even that is besides the point. He just came back and beat Wilder.

Let's say AJ now beats Wilder or Wilder beats AJ, they will own all 4 belts, but Fury is still there, undefeated. Wilder or AJ never did what Fury did to get those belts.

The good thing is I believe Wilder will fight 1 of the other 2 next, then the winner will fight the other one within a year after that, so hopefully we will know conclusively who the man is in 18 months.

But then again this is boxing so I wouldn't be surprised if someone gets stripped and another contender wins a belt somewhere.

 

He pleaded guilty at the hearing. There's no ifs about it. That doesn't matter, lineal is a fantasy title, it means nothing, at some point all. These guys will fight each other anyway and clear it up but people going on about a title that doesn't even exist is just plain moronic.

 

He was banned because he was doing cocaine in which test result cameback positive on September 26 2016 in which fury vs wlad rematch in October had been canceled.

 

The thing is fury fail a drug test on September 26 in which he's supposed to be tested for the wlad rematch in England. In the first fight fury was clean. Fury beat wlad fair and square.

 

Have wondered the same. Good topic and I am standing by to be persuaded to one side or the other.

 

Moronic? Ouch.

I suppose it's no less moronic to potentially have 4 world champions, but that's a topic for another day.

 

Hard to argue against this.

 

Fury is the man and owns this division

anyone who thinks otherwise is ignorant in boxing. DKSAB.

 

He's failed Ped tests and refused them, his whole career should be under suspicion as with any drugs cheat.

 

The whole boxing set up is rubbish but we do t need to add to it. WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF is more than what is needed nevermind make up titles like lineal Ring belts and the current trend to call unrecognised belts like IBO and even worse imo WBA regular titles world titles. That would make eight champions if they all happened to get separated. Utter farce.

 

Aj did he fought and beat Wlad

 

What you've established is You're not interested in who the lineal champion is. So get out.

For those of us who are interested, that man is Fury!!!

 

After Fury.

Unless you think the lineal title passed back to Wlad?

 

no but fury retired for two years time also Dosnt stop for fury
