Who was the last fighter to hold the WBC, WBA and IBF? Who was the last fighter to hold these three plus the WBO? I remember O'Neil Bell holding the main three after beating Mormeck in 2006, and jermaine taylor picked up all 4 titles by beating bhop in 2005. anyone more recent? is anyone likely to hold the 4 titles again, or is it just too pointless?
Hamed should have had all 4 titles. But i think Bernard was the first to do it after beating ODLH. Calzaghe should have done it too.
As far as I'm aware Hopkins and Taylor are the only two fighters to have held all four titles simultaneously.
If Calzaghe had faced Inkin as mandatory for the IBF he'd won from Lacy, he'd have been undisputed. I considered him undisputed after he beat Kessler.
joe would have done it but he would have had to fight another IBF mandatory before kessler....forgotten who it was...?
Some bum called Robert Stieglitz, who ended up fighting for the vacant title, and go ktfo in 3 by another bum, who then lost it to Bute. Its a disgrace.
100% correct:good. Off of the top of my head, I think JC is the only other fighter to hold all titles but not at the same time, but I may be wrong.

Its a are hard thing to do and not worth it imo... Look at some of the joke mandatories Hopkins had to face in order to keep all those belts. And while your beating these joke number 1 'challengers' the super fights pass you by.
****ing hell, damn the Ishypedia's knowledge! There was a good debate a while back about whether Haye was entitled to the 'Undisputed' title as well. In fairness, it's an almost impossible task getting all four titles whilst taking mandatories for each belt.
Haye will be the next to do it. Let's say he does, would that make him the first person to hold at least three of the big four plus the Ring belt in two divisions? What did holy hold at cruiser?
Pac has held the Ring title in a record 3 divisions. JC also held that title in two as well as Hopkins. Ishy might be able to name some more...
I think if you get the WBA, WBC & IBF title you are undisputed. That said, if you have the WBA or WBC for more than ten minutes, you aren't even undisputed champion of that organisation. The phrase 'undisputed champion' is bordering on meaningless these days.
