Will we ever see Undisputed boxing champions again?

May/Mac winner will be undisputed mma/boxing champ... Super-middle super champion http://www.legendyboksu.pl/images/calzaghe.jpg

The WBC, WBA and IBF all recognize the WBO now. All of these organizations allow you to hold the titles of the other organizations. Thanks for the info

Don't some of these belts don't let you hold their belt if you have another belt? The WBC, WBA and IBF all recognize the WBO now. All of these organizations allow you to hold the titles of the other organizations.

Crawford is about to become the undisputed champ.

Don't some of these belts don't let you hold their belt if you have another belt? I guess if you are not a super star they will strip you

indongo-crawford winner will be undisputed at 140

Any noise Team Lipinets made was months ago and they haven't made a peep since the fight was announced because they took a payment to delay the mandatory. The IBF doesn't allow step aside fees. Matchroom filed for, and was granted, an exception by the IBF.

Crawford or indongo will be undisputed next month. No doubt Terence Crawford. He's perfect fighter!

Roy Jones wasn't undisputed. Michalczewski was the lineal champ. You don't need to be the lineal champion to be Undisputed - Undisputed simply means being the champion of all recognised major bodies. At that time, that was the WBA/WBC and IBF. Nowadays, in order to be Undisputed, you need the be the WBA/WBC/IBF and WBO champion.

Crawford vs Indongo will crown the first one since Jermain Taylor. Golovkin/Canelo, Ward and the cruiserweight WBSS winner are all very close to accomplishing it too. Seems that unifying titles has suddenly become a bit more of a priority again The last undisputed Champion was O'Neil Bell, but yes agreed otherwise

Theres a few On the horizon as others have said. For me there are two rules which could help massively if all the 4 major orgs could agree to follow them. 1. Unifications trump mandos (some already do this) 2. Unified champions should get unified mandos. Ie. If you hold the WBA and IBF like Joshua does, and both are putting forward a mando, then those two need to fight each other before being recognised as full mandatory (so Pulev vs Ortiz would be the final eliminator for the unified titles). It wont happen because unified champions arent in the orgs interests. They have much more leverage over a small time fighter who holds a strap than a guy who holds all 4 at the same time

we're baout to get them in a couple divisions, possibly 3 by 2018

Of course the promoters are saying that. It sells the fight better. What the IBF says is what matters doe. Edit: Just looked at the IBF schedule & they don't got Crawford vs Indongo listed as a title fight. And it looks to be a up to date schedule. And the last thing I see, in April, about the IBF & Indongo is saying he must fight Lipinets. it's July and indongo isn't fighting lipinets and he hasnt been stripped so what does that tell you?

Has the IBF made a ruling about the Indongo vs Lipinets mandatory? If they haven't I wouldn't be surprised if they pull some last minute bs & swipe the IBF title from that fight. Hearn and arum claim every belt is on the line so I guess the ibf gave in.

I believe Golovkin will be the next undisputed champion, I give it 1 or 2 years. Crawford or indongo will be undisputed next month.

Won't the winner of canelo ggg be undisputed? No. Billy joe Saunders is the wbo champion at 160 f**cking casuals don't know anything

Yes, we will see undisputed champions again but will we ever see ALL-Time not just generational or era Greatness again?

When a fighter even gets close it only lasts like a week before Arum has the WBO stripped so he can give it back to a Top Rank fighter. C'mon now, they might also gift it to a Queensberry fighter Seriously though I think step one towards eliminating extraneous titles could simply come from key journalists refusing to acknowledge paper titlists as "champions" any more. Seems like a minor victory but it could lead to a more educated fanbase demanding more of the promoters and sanctioning orgs. If ESPN, Yahoo, The Ring, etc., stopped referring to, e.g., Lomachenko as "champion", you bet he and Arum would suddenly be in more of a hurry to get one of the other titlists in the ring with him. I chose Loma as an example here because I believe he is the best in his division but will likely never prove it in the ring thanks to Arum's symbiotic relationship with the WBO, which is the problem in a nutshell. And yes the WBO is clearly the greater of the four evils. But of course this isn't likely to happen when so many key boxing journalists seem to act more in the interest of certain promoters than for the fanbase and sport as a whole
