The lineal championship is considered by many to be the true title to hold. The man who beat the man. Dating all the way back to the first true champion and carried threw to the current reigning lineal champ. This video covers every exchanging of the crown, every time a new Lineal Champion was established, every comeback, knockout, controversy, upset, historic reign, or one hit wonder. Jack Dempsey, Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis, Tyson Fury, and everybody in between. From the earliest filmed boxing events in history, which also happen to be the earliest filmed things in history…to modern day.

Thanks for watching! I did this video 2+ years ago, had several pieces of music muted by claims, so I've gone back in and replaced the music so this video which I really love can still be viewed. The older version is still available.
Believe it or not, one of my very favorites in his prime among this parade of all-time greats and lineal HW champions? Riddick Bowe
I loved his combination of size, quickness, athleticism, and entertainment value. Round 10 in his first fight w/Holyfield is one of the greatest I have seen.
How can they be the man that beat the man when 2 of them retired unbeaten ?? no one beat those 2 men !!!
DO A DOC ON PLAYOFF JIMMY !
The All Mighty 13th Round🩸Dipped and Dripping in Blood ☠️🪦
All Boxing Fanatics need to see this Masterpiece 🥇🏆🎖📽🎞🎬📺🤩
That isn’t Burns v Johnson at all, it’s Johnson v Ketchell!
Rocky Marciano was a pure ambidextrous boxer.
Beautiful video. Thank you.
Joseph, do a Ayrton Senna Video, “ The People’s Champ “
If you can ever do it, make a video on the K1 golden years of the 90s and early 2000s, crushing knockouts amazing stories, and absolute warriors then were the baddest men and stand up fighters of the world.
Larry Holmes had one of the greatest runs of any heavyweight champion. Definitely one of the most underrated fighters in prime.
Subscribed, great content
When Tunney retired, there was no belt holder so the line stopped there. Schmelling wasn't the lineal champion (because he didn't beat the champion) so no one after him was either.
nice video, as always, but you left Holmes as a footnote
Make one of LaMelo ball
Guys like Sullivan, Corbet, Fitzsimmons and others were only fighting white fighters, so how can that make them lineal champions 😅
Great vid jo
Ngannou
How exactly is Tyson Fury the lineal champion when lennox lewis Didn’t lose his belt in the ring and Vladimir Klitschko was never undisputed champion.
Seems like smoke and mirrors going on here.
I beat Rocky Marciano one time then I woke up
Thank you for brilliance as always.
LFG!! 🔥🔥
Editing is elite. The story is not, far to much of the run time is focused on certain fighters and not others. Number of title defenses is not mentioned for all fighters. This video is great history but it doesnt tell the whole story. It is hard to tell in 50mins but the focus of those 50mins seems to be on previously created content cut in instead of the most important.
So…..Francis ngannou is the lineal champ now right? I mean, we all saw him win right?
People forget just how good George foreman really was
Video: "now in the ring" Larry Holmes
Me: 😥😢😭😭🙏
Cus was right though, tyson in his prime is the goat.
Please make video joe calzaghe
Tyson Fury vs John L Sullivan
I love all of your Videos
All the best to you and warm greetings from Germany.
I habe one wish can u Presse make a Video about Eric Cantona

"Only person to ever win the Championship by getting punched in the nuts…" 😂🤣🤣🤣
Fresh n Sweet.
.Ekosi youtube man 🙏
Dawg, when Joe Frazier took off jogging out of that corner against Foreman he was like "sheesh this guy is beating my ass, let me go to the other side of the… BINK!!!" 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 That shit looked like a cartoon 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ali is the GOAT simply because nobody has 3 more impressive wins than him beating a prime Sonny Liston, prime Joe Frazier, and a prime George Foreman. People literally thought Ali was gonna get killed vs Liston and Foreman. Liston was a legit enforcer for the Mafia. Like outside of the ring, he was going to guys' front doors and beating the shit out of them for unpaid debt to the mob. And foreman is regarded as literally the hardest hitting boxer to ever lace em up… Ali is the GOAT. 🤷🏾♂️
I still think sonny was good enough to beat Ali had he given his best. If you look at other listons fights he wouldn’t even flinch after a punch like that, god forbid go to the ground from that. I would be mostly interested to see how the fight would turn out unfixed.
nobody brings it home like Joe Vincent
