    Frank Warren says no one can call them self heavyweight champion until they beat fury, is he right?

    That's a ridiculous concept.

    Can nobody call themselves WW champion until they beat Floyd.

    The division doesn't stand still when a fighter vacates a title. The only person to blame for Fury losing his titles is Tyson Fury.

    Champions defend their titles. Fury made zero defences!!!!

    Fury stunk out Dusseldorf to steal the belt, was exposed as a Drugs Cheat and should have been banned from Boxing for life along with the other Drugs Cheats.

    The ridiculous notion from the man that beat the man that got promoted to it after beating a guy good enough that some deemed it worthy to succeed the man who had retired that beat the man, that not really beat the man but got the win anyway, that beat the man, that beat the man who maybe had regained it... blah, blah...

    There's NOTHING pure about the linear championship anymore. It's just thin air.
    He retired, he got busted for drugs, he was unable to box due to mental issues and has been out of the ring for 2½ years and counting.
    Some might look at him and say "doesn't matter, he's the champ!" and then he might lose to the first bum he faces because he totally gasses after 4 rounds, making TBA the next "lineal champ"... the purest of the purest of champions according to some.

    Joe calzaghe is still the super middleweight champion if you go off frank Warrens theory, ward Froch kessler and groves didn't beat Joe so their achievements must be meaningless as well.

    What a ****ing idiotic thing to say, they really believe it as well.

    Calzaghe never beat Collins. So we are waiting for Steve Collins to come back. The heavyweights are still waiting for Lennox Lewis. If they retire are unable to defend then the division moves on. At the moment it's Joshua v wilder for the best. If fury comes back successfully then he can challenge the winner

    A person who’s had one title fight his entire life and made 0 title defences, got done for PEDS, then was doing cocaine etc. That’s not the real champ. The real champ is the man who’s been mopping up the division one by one.

    It's ridiculous because arguably he beat Wladimir whilst on the gear.

    In a fair world, the fight would be declared as a no contest.

    What makes Warren comments more funny is that his fighter 'Terry Flanagan' won his world title because it become vacant.

    His next fight is again for a vacant title. Will Warren now come out and say that Flanagan is not a "Real World Champion"

    Warren is no fool, he knows he’s talking absolute rubbish but as others have said that’s the only promotional tool they have so let them go with it. The public will decide soon enough if they believe what’s being said when Fury is slapping around bums in a half empty arena.
