    He has as much chance of beating Usyk as I do in beating David Tua.

    There's no such thing as "the lineal title".

    Yes, the World War definitely prevented Willard from defending more. Typical of boxing and the press, Jess got criticized by the press for not defending more, scheduled a defense against Fred Fulton, but then the press cried holy horror that he would dare fight for money during the war, and the authorities prevented him from fighting Fulton. It's all in the book.

    The lineal title is the original title going back to caveman days and has more weight and value than any of the plastic belts printed by crooked orgs.

    The man who beat the man

    in that case in most people’s eyes Ngannou beat Fury , then Joshua smashed him so AJ is the lineal champion .

    in reality it’s just a make believe title that fans like to throw around .

    In that case Francis didn't beat Fury and in most people's eyes who understand boxing he clearly didn't beat him. Get over yourself. AJ is a bum who has never beat a reigning champion! and got gifted his gold medal! bhahaha!

    Yep and that's why they don't score bouts.

    Thanks for that valuable information Adam. My bad for being too lazy to look it up myself. I’ll review those details when I get more time. :D

    I think I rated you a good chance of beating David Tua, not so much Bette Davis though. :D

    There is no ‘Lineal Title’, just a lineage of former champs. That’s not a ‘Title’ in the way you think it is. Besides, all Fury was is the next in line after Wlad, who restarted it after Lewis retired :lol:

    What is a title in the way YOU think it is?

    Fury holds a title even more dear than any other and that is the title of The Gypsy King.

    There are actual recognized belts. The lineal line is just that, a line. And one in which your guy sis simply the second after a broken chain. Who retired at one point BTW. But if you need to believe it’s an imaginary championship, go nuts with that.

    It's not quite how it works though. If lineal truly means a lineage of the man who beat the man then in my humble opinion once the line is broken it ceases to exist.
