We actually had two, Paul Morphy was unofficial. And if you get really technical with it then three. When Alekhine passed away then that actually made Rueben Fine a co-champion for a brief period. But that is not recognized either.
Bobby on the other hand earned it and then gave it away due to his B.S.
A tragedy yes and him being the way he is is also another tragedy. But that does not take way what he did, which was become World Champion, and probably the greatest player that has ever lived.
