    I agree 100% with hoya, he did not hold all the belts so in the literal sense he was not the undisputed champion, but no one can deny that he was the man at cruiser
     
  2. Where can I go to read this definition? Do you have a link please?

    IBF only started in 1983
    WBC only started in 1963
    WBA only started in 1963

    The definition of undisputed is obviously evolving. When exactly did the IBF become necessary for undisputed status? The day that it was created? I doubt it...

    The Ring Title is nothing at all to do with the linear champion.

    The IBF became neccesary when the other orgs began to recognize it.

    He beat Mormeck who was old and beat another chump in Bell. The real champ was Steve Cunningham who was beaten by Adamek.

    That's complete bull****. I defy you to prove me otherwise.

    The only reason the IBF strap was not around Haye's waist when he beat Mormeck is bull**** abc politics.

    Steve Cunningham annd Guilermo Jones were the best cruiserweights at the time. Of course Haye never wanted no part of them.
