    Try to make a list of Undisputed World Champions throughout history. I see undisputed as holding at least 75% of the major titles. So from 1984 onwards its having 3 of the belts, from before 1984 its having 2 of the belts.

    Only WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF counted.

    Heavyweight

    Lennox Lewis 2002

    Cruiserweight

    David Haye 2008

    Super Middleweight

    Joe Calzaghe 2007

    Middleweight

    Alan Minter 1980

    Welterweight

    Lloyd Honeyghan 1986

    Lightweight

    Ken Buchanan 1971

    David Haye - I dispute.

    He never fought Cunnigham - he didnt hang around at the weight.

    Onyl 2 world title fights he had at the weight - and one was against a guy who didnt really belong in the same ring as him,.

    Cunningham might be boring and ordinary - but he is proven world class.

    Then don't ask for undisputed champs. Simple.

    How does this work again?

    you are the unified champ if you hold two of the belts? so what happens if another fighter hold the other 2?

    and you are the undisputed champ if you hold at least 3?

    Cunningham who lost his 1st fight after Haye left the division?

    He won the WBC, WBA and WBO titles.

    If thats your rule Calzaghe also wouldn't count.

    Between 1963 and 1984 there were 2 Belts. If you hold both your undisputed.

    From 1984 there were 4 belts. If you held 3 your undisputed.

    Are you making this stuff up on the fly, or is there a written rule somewhere??

    Bob Fitzsimmons was undisputed at Middleweight then Heavyweight then Light-Heavyweight.

    Freddie Walsh was undisputed Lightweight champion.

    Benny Lynch, Jackie Paterson and Peter Kane were all Flyweight champions.
