    If someone robbed a bank and then after having served their sentence and been released from prison they went and robbed the exact same bank again that would make them a 2 x bank robber not a 1 x one. You feel me?

    Yeah sure. But it's got a huge asterix next to it for me.

    Usyk isn't undisputed he has 3 interim champs. Also the 2x label requires losing. If you don't lose you don't get 2x.

    I thought you were semi-joking with that framing at first, yet you are right.

    Lol. Give it a rest. You were so confident Dubois was going to smash him.

    Was I? I don't seem to remember expressing confidence in Dubois victory. You just assume I said that because I am so vehemently anti Usyk.

    You have a right to say anything you like, but so few people are going to listen, care or agree, that you are essentially talking to yourself.

    Yes, he is. Just like Ali is a 3x undisputed champ because the WBA stripped him for giving Liston a rematch and then he won it again against Terrell.

    It's a technicality, but technically the same thing did happen previously when the WBA stripped Ali, and he later won the belt back from Terrell.

    Personally I do not recognize anyone as undisputed champion unless they hold also the WBF, IBU and IBA belts.

    Being undefeated undisputed HW champion (of the worrrrllld) is miles better than winning it twice.

    I don't know, gives the ring announcer more to pad the fight introductions with I guess.

    He was stripped and won it back. Yeah, he is two time undisputed. Whether it being stripped to give to a guy he won every round against and knocked out, only for him to knock the guy out again to get it back, should count for a major accomplishment is up for debate. But records are records, and due to IBF shens, Usyk absolutely has ended up two times undisputed. I’m going to laugh when the WBO strips him and then he wins that one back.
