Karoly Balzsay Reflects on The Loss To Stieglitz

[The Hammer]

but the ibf rightfully stripped him for fighting manfredo.

Because HBO wouldn't televise Calzaghe-Steiglitz.

Nelson, thats as undisputed as it gets nowdays, in that case in the modern multi belt era the only undisputed champions have been Hopkins and Taylor? I mean if Calzaghe hadn't vacated the IBF he'd be undisputed.

I know there was a huge chain of guys in the HW division that held the IBF, WBA, WBC belts after Tyson lost them to Douglas but at that point the WBO was becoming a major belts organisation.

Haye in most peoples eyes including my own was undisputed hold 3 out of 4 belts is as good as it's going to get in this era.

Oh yeah. This alphabet soup is most annoying. It shows how difficult it is to be really undisputed these days. The border for when you accept a new organization to be a 'major' organization isn't clear at all. I only referred to what I believe is the common standard and made a distinction between UNIFIED and UNDISPUTED.

Haye won two title fights in the cruiserweight division: against shot Mormeck and weak-chinned Maccarinelli. Balzsay won two title fights on the super middleweight division. Neither was "undisputed"...Haye ducked the best cruiserweight at the time, Steve Cunningham, IBF champion.
