Have come up with a breakdown of duration world title fights. HW 0942 Bivins v Mauriello 1042 Bivins v Pastor 1142 Bivins v Lee Savold 0343 Bivins v Mauriello 0443 Bivins v Pat Valentino 0843 Lee Murray v Bobo 0943 Bivins v Bettina 1243 Bivins v Lee Murray 0244 Bivins v Lee Murray(Bivins leaves for WW2) 0544 Baksi v Savold 0644 Lee Murray v Sheppard 0744 Lee Murray v Turkey Thompson 0844 Baksi v Savold Baksi lineage ends up joining the main lineage when Louis beats Mauriello Bivins lineage ends up joining the main lineage when Louis beats Walcott Murray lineage ends up joining the main lineage when Marciano beats Archie Moore LHW 1242 SF Christophoridis v Nate Bolden 0143 SF Bivins v Ezzard Charles 0243 F Bivins v Christophoridis 0443 Lloyd Marshall v Christophoridis 0643 Bivins v Lloyd Marshall(Bivins leaves for HW full time) 0743 Lloyd Marshall v Sheppard 0144 Lloyd Marshall v Nate Bolden 0244 Lloyd Marshall v Garner 0544 Lloyd Marshall v Kahut 0744 Lloyd Marshall v Maxim(missed weight) Bivins lineage peters out when he leaves LHW. Lloyd Marshall lineage peters out when Ezzard Charles leaves LHW MW 0944 Holman Williams D Cocoa Kid Holman Williams 12 and 15 rounders in 1945 0545 Holman Williams v Cocoa Kid(missed weight) 0545 Holman Williams v Joe Carter 0745 Holman Williams v Charley Burley(missed weight) 0845 Holman Williams v Bert Lytell Holman Williams lineage ends up joining the main lineage when Cerdan beats Tony Zale Notes Count the Maryland&Ohio title from when Murray wins it because Murray almost beating Louis is what gives that title it's credibility. All evidence suggests the duration title was done away with in October 1944 as it became WW2 wouldn't be continuing long term. As such Williams 12 and 15 rounders represent a pseudo title lineage separate from the duration one he failed to win the previous September.
