You can't possibly be the "undisputed" champion without the most highly recognized championship.
If someone was a three belt champ, and the title they were missing was the WBO, I suppose you could make the case that they were "undisputed" as historically that term meant WBC/WBA/IBF champion.
Although at this point, I do think someone would need to hold all four to be the "undisputed" champion as the WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO all recognize each other in their rules now and it's pretty clear the sport recognizes all four now, even Japan finally caved on the IBF/WBO.
Fury is the unified champion and should be very proud, but unfortunately for him, the belt he is missing is the most important one.Last edited by Biolink; 11-29-2015, 01:08 PM.

Fury is THE heavyweight champion. Wilder has a paper belt which really means little.
