    Isn't Wlad the undisputed HW champ?

    In his heyday, Lennox Lewis held the WBC/IBF/IBO/Ring Magazine titles and was billed as the undisputed champ. Wlad currently holds the WBO/IBF/IBO titles, so doesn't that technically make him the undisputed champ as well, despite the WBC and WBA titles being elsewhere?

    I know some of these idiot sanctioning bodies have their own idea of what constitutes "undisputed" or "unified", but what's the general consensus around here? I've considered him the undisputed champ for a while now, even though bigger bro holds a title along with that Russian giant.

    He is and should be recognized as.. BUT he is NOT American and it's fashionable to Bash the heavyweights due to lack of American star presence..

    SO he is still "unproven".. or it's a "weak" division

    BTW.. his record is 0-3... didn't you now that??

      well he doesn't have two of the three major titles (WBA/WBC) so that has a large baring on it, He also doesn't and never will have the Ring title which is more important than the meaningless alphabetti spagetti belts.

      He's the top HW in the world and nobody disputes it so whats the problem?
