Right, but he never lost those titles in the ring. Neither AJ nor Fury have been undisputed yet so your point there is moot. Fury's lineal title means more to hardcores and historians than the alphabet world titles do (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO). It can and has been argued that Fury is still the lineal champion.So he "HAD" those belts ......past tense . He doesn't now does he ? I think the goal here is to be undisputed ,which he
has never been . "ring magazine champ " does that mean anything? He ain't the best until he beats AJ .....WBO,IBF,IBO and WBA Champion ! A.J just needs that WBC to his collection.
Does the Ring Magazine title mean anything? It depends who you ask. In this case it does because it was a #1 vs #2 match-up according to The Ring (and the TBRB) for the vacant championship. Also, nobody really counts the IBO title. It's a minor world title that isn't even necessary in becoming undisputed in the modern four-belt era. I'm an AJ fan but counting titles isn't the way to go (at the end of your video).
