He still has zero defences for each and everyone of them. How do you deserve belts if you never defend them, and get a drugban to boot?!
exactly aj has never been a champion to be a champion you have to defeat the reigning champion end of story
At least he actually won the belts legitimately from long reigning champions. When he got stripped, the belts were handed out to people that would not have been able to win a world title under normal circumstances.
AJ is the unified HW champ of this era with his aim to become undisputed. Conversely Fury was a unified champ even tho he didn't actually unify any of the belts (he won them all off Klitscko) Joshua similarly then reclaimed all his belts in beating Ruiz, so is a two time unified HW champ now whereas Fury is currently a single belt holder World champion and if you believe in that guff the lineal HW champion of the World.
Winning belts "legitimately" doesn't mean you're allowed to just keep them forever just for the sake of it. He won the IBF, WBA, WBO belts almost 5 years ago and then took over 2.5 years to fight an almost 40 year old cruiserweight, followed by a past it and irrelevant Pianeta. On top of that Fury was banned for failing a drugtest for his eliminator with Hammer, failing a drugtest for coke, outright refusing a drugtest and claimed to be retired and suffering from mental illness. In which warped reality does that justify the belts still belong to Fury as you say?! When exactly is it justified to be stripped of your belts according to you?
He was stripped of ibf as soon as he won it. Fair comments about the rest though. What do you think is a greater achievement, beating Klitschko for all the belts or Wilder's title reign?
Fury is the man? Seriously? He brutally ducked Klitchko rematch, ducked Pulev before that, ducked Price, was caught on Peds, never defended his belts, fought Pianeta, Wallin, Schwarz, litle man Sefery, invented the mental sickness charade, dumped his belts, retired, bad mouthed and disrespected boxing to the fullest, is again rumored to have cheated in the Wilder rematch. And this is the man? As a boxing fan I cant give him this status, he s an alphabet titlist and former lineal champion. Respect there, but his talk is delusional. Joshua eclipsed his results in the ring, unified 3 of the 4 alphabet titles, and is the closest we have to the HW champion of the world (lineal). But even then, because Fury returned, he cant call himself World Champion before they meet for the undisputed. That's how I see it
I don't care who is called the Unified Champ , the Ring Cham, the People Champ, or the Super Champ blah blah blah blah..... just get into the ring and fight each other. I want to see the best fighting the best.
If you hold all the belts you become undisputed because there is nothing left to win. Its fairly rare you can do that though, almost impossible now the WBC and WBA are making belts up as they go. Only four men in history have been undisputed since the WBO has been recognised as a title.
He is the unified heavyweight champion of the world because he holds all the belts except for the prestigious WBC belt. When he and Fury fight provided they have all their belts the undisputed title will be on the line.
He’s unified because he has more then one belt but he’s not undisputed because he never held the WBC which Fury has.
AJ is Fury's official belt warmer Nothing more. After Fury takes his belts back he should relinquish them all and let the bum dossers fight over them again.
