Multi-weight champs vs. Undisputed champs?

[*TonyMontana*]

Good question....gotta go with multi-weight as I love seeing a David vs Goliath kinda match up....PAC vs margarito was crazy....tearing through the divisions is something else too...imagine the respect golovkin would have from fans if he moved through the weight classes one by one....I think nowadays it's a must

[therealpugilist]

But apparently this is Golovkin's fault and we should be criticizing him for it, rather than criticizing the eunuchs in his division.

its not his fault but it takes a lot of luster away from having the belts and claiming to be the best when you havent fought for your titles.

GGG is definitely a good fighter but its nothing to write home about when you aren't earning the titles in the ring.

Hard to say a fighter is "unified" or "undisputed" champion when he didnt eliminate the top 2-3 guys to get the distinction.

Those top 2 or 3 fighters you say he didnt eliminate so how can you call him undisputed. Well those fighters eliminated themselves from fighting GGG.

I understand what you are saying about not winning the titles in the ring. I hate when guys are handed titles. But at the same time though, these fighters with these belts didnt want nothing to do with fighting GGG and gave then up and handed them to GGG rather than wanting to fight to give him his opportunity to win them.

most times they have the two top contenders or 1 and 2-5 fight for the title.

He could have at least fought someone else for it if those guys vacated

instead of handing him the wbc, he could have fought the contender behind him for it

seen it a million times....I havent seen too many guys handed belts recently....i hated when the wba added regular titles in the early 2000s.

Theres only been 1 Undisputed champion in the last 10 years

and a myriad of multi-weight champions, including Ricky Burns, Adrien Broner, and Koki Kameda.

Honestly, if a fighter is in a position to acquire all the belts in the division, its a serious accomplishment. In Golovkin's scenario, other fighters are literally dropping belts in order to avoid him. Its not as if any fighter can manage that..

I hope Kovalev, Golovkin and Fury manage to unify the divisions, which should have been every champions goal in the first place. How can a man be happy with knowing that there are other guys out there claiming to be the divisional champion? I don't really understand it

I agree. That's how i see it.

Well my fanboy friend. Ill agree with you as far as these sanctioning bodies adding regular champs and super champs. Its stupid as hell and its what puts boxing in these f'ed up situation.

I want fighters to win things in the ring. And to me it sucks they just hand titles to certain guys. They just dont do it to GGG. They do it in every division. Its just your hate for this white fighter gots you going nuts about it. Broner is a 4 division champion. But outside of winning his Lightweight title from Demarco, who did he win his other three from? They handed them those titles, but you never show this much outrage toward that?

Um, well yes he was. Broner was 'upgraded' to the Super WBA belt in the same manner as Golovkin was. He won a regular belt when Garcia's Super status was still in the air..

And for the sake of the thread, lets say multi-division= 2-4 weight classes. I could think of a few current day multi division champs but the last undisputed (WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO) champ boxing had was B-Hop.

So with that said, in your honest opinion, in present day boxing, which should be respected more? & why??

Not trying to be a dick, but Jermain Taylor was the last male undisputed champion. Boxing does currently have a female undisputed champion in Cecilia Braekhus though.

But back to your original question: for me it's obviously becoming an undisputed champion. The whole multiple division champion claim doesn't mean that much to me in the age of four sanctioning body belts.
