    I'm gonna say Usyk has the best chance.

    Also: I thought Crawford had all the belts at LW too, maybe I'm trippin........:thinking:

    update: He only had the WBO LW,

    I think both Inoue and Crawford will emerge victorious on the same week they fight in July. Crawford will be the first, followed by Inoue.
    It will be crazy to see if they both manage to still be successful in grabbing all the belts in the next weight class going up.

    Crawford will be the first 3 time undisputed after he spanks Spence then moves to 154 and smacks Charlo.

    Tyson Fury was undisputed when he beat Wlad in 2015

    And he'll become undisputed again when he beats Usyk - Although i'd argue he became undisputed again after he slapped Wilder.

    More developments being made in regards to this "race."

    Marlon Tapales petitioned the WBA to be able to fight for undisputed against the winner of Fulton-Inoue, and they've approved it. Should Inoue beat Fulton in their bout, he is the next most likely to become the first undisputed champion in two weight classes of this era, should Crawford lose his fight that Saturday. It isn't quite a shoo in though, since even if Crawford loses he's guaranteed a second shot at the Welterweight undisputed crown by the end of the year, and that could end up being scheduled before the potential Inoue-Tapales undisputed match.

    Regardless of if he's the first to achieve it or not, Inoue is certainly in a good position to get it the fastest.

    If not for the WBC Franchise shenanigans and Josh Taylor being stripped of all but one of his belts last year, Teofimo Lopez could've become the first guy to hold this distinction tonight. Even if he technically isn't a two time undisputed or even one time undisputed champion of the four belt era, I think he'll at least deserve an honorable mention whenever this topic is being discussed.

    Inoue's a step closer. Even if Crawford wins on Saturday, and I think he will, Inoue is on a good track to be the fastest to get this status.

    Usyk wasn't the first two time Undisputed champ of the four belt era, but by God he was the first to do it three times! :ggg

    I don't rate the 3rd time as I still viewed him as the reigning undisputed heavyweight champ since he beat Fury the first time.

    Usyk is not undisputed he has 3 interim champs. People just decided that doesn't count. What really matters is fighting his mandatory Derek Chisora.
