    if this is true then he is the worst lineal champ in history, including tommy burns et all.

    anf fury has the worst set of defences in history too.

    I think so or at the very least they should both hold the portion of the linear crown.

    The co owners of the lineal title, well it could work since theres no physical belt theyd have to share custody of.

    Announcing Fury as the undefeated Lineal Heavyweight Champion, defending his title for the fifth time is quite frankly, total, complete and utter bollocks. And Fury looked complete and utter gash for the man who is purportedly the consensus number one Heavyweight on the planet.

    He may have had an off night or maybe, just maybe, Wallin is at least half decent but, on the strength of that performance, I make Wilder the favourite in the rematch, and as far as I'm concerned, from a purely boxing standpoint, Wilder sucks ass.

    Whyte, Usyk, Joshua, Parker, Ortiz, Ruiz, Povetkin and maybe Hrgovic are a hard nights work for Fury. He just doesn't have the power to fully gain their respect.

    The HW lineal title is vacant.

    I'm sure you would have had Wilder as heavy favourite going into the first match too after Fury's performances against Seferi and Pianeta...

    The anti-Fury bias will be getting to anti-GGG levels soon.
    Cards were corrupt, but I've never seen a robbery where the punch stats show a dominant performance by the winner and where the losing fighter and the manager believe they lost the fight.

    Funny thing about the corrupt cards, it actually validates Fury's position that without big US backing you risk getting robbed in the US as he did versus Wilder. Now he's a big American investment and gets the home treatment, how ironic!

    When Klitschko beat Povetkin he became lineal.

    Lineal champ? Wallin gets a lucky punch that opened a cut to Fury, just like the lucky punch Andy Ruiz threw that caused a concussion to AJ. If you watch most of the fight Fury dominated 90%. The other 10% that Wallin dominated was probably due to the cut degrading Fury's performance, just like AJ fighting with a concussion. In the end, Fury still won, so imagine what would have happened if he didn’t get that unlucky cut above the eye.

    Yes. And when Fury retired, having succumbed to drugs, alcohol, peds (allegedly), mental health issues, etc. he lost his lineal title.
    That's just an opinion, I don't force it on everyone.
