Oh great, another lineal argument featuring a bunch of dicks who know dick. Wlad was crowned lineal years ago, the argument for Vitali and the WBC-lineal connection should have been made when Wlad was being brought up as lineal not now. Now it's a bit late. I mean it is possible, wouldn't be the first time the history books had to be adjusted, but it's a very improbable campaign to win. People have seen Wlad as lineal for nearly a decade. people bringing up Stiverne like he's the only trash champ in any lineage at HW. The **** is wrong with youse? Y'all honestly believe you've a solid point do you? There are plenty of good reasons to say Wilder is not and does not have the opportunity to be lineal, the fact that Bermane wasn't better than Wlad isn't one of them. Willard was a **** and not the best, Wills was. Schmelling, Primo, Baer, and Braddock, all shits, all look like **** compared to the colored champions of the day. Godfrey, Gains, Walker, Ray, even Tate at the early end. But dem had dem black guys barred doe! Yeah, what vol did Wlad take his career? Seems like he barred anyone who got a break with the WBC to me. Seems like during the Wlad no vols can be made years you've a parallel between WBC ranked fighter and the colorline. Fighters at the top of one ranking system barred from fighting the champ of another. So there you have it. No, Wilder is not lineal because the public crowned Wlad not Vitali. Had the public crowned Big V over Little W then Bermane being a **** wouldn't have changed anything. Man who beat the man is pretty basic. You can prove X was better than Y until the cows come how but unless Y beat the man X is the man. So Jess he's the man from after Johnson. Wills may be the guy who whooped Langford, Jennette, McVae, and Tate multiple times, and Jess might not have a single W worth a damn outside of Jack, and the Jack fight might have been fixed, but guess who is lineal? Not the best resume of the day, the man who beat the man. No matter how ****, fixed, or ****ed.
Point #1 - while there are two other fighters in the division who hold the big world titles he cannot claim the spot as "undisputed #1" Point #2 - the Lineal Champion is Tyson Fury because he beat Wlad and Wlad was the last fighter to be indisputably recognized as the best heavyweight on the planet. The only way to claim to be Lineal Champion is to beat Fury.
True, but that's only going to happen if he beats the winner of Parker/Joshua and who knows if that fight will ever be made.
Wilder and Ortiz are fighting for the runner up prize. The #1 and division superstar is AJ. This although an interesting fight is merely a sideshow.
Great fight. Wilder is IMO the 2nd best in the world right now, waiting on the opportunity to become number one which has to happen this year.
Hearn knows that, hence there will never be Wilder vs Joshua Bring out Tyson Fury...He is the real challenge
hes the #2 in the world.. even though his skill besides his power are terrible.. such a sad day for heavyweight boxing when a guy with no skills like him can be considered #2 smh..
