    It was for the World Heavyweight title just like Spinks-Cooney was.

    Larry Holmes was the world champion.

    I wasn't born in this era but because they wanted Holmes to fight Page, didn't organisation not recognize Frazier as a worthy challenger ? Thus they made it a non title fight ? I thought I heard something like that.

    It is for the title of lineal champion. Holmes was the WBC champion, in that fight (Holmes vs Frazier) there was no belt "in play", and after that victory Holmes was not the WBC champion, but the IBF champion.

    I apologize for my bad English, I hope you understood what I want to say. google translate...

    Technically speaking, you are absolutely right, but it was for the linear title.
