    All are the best in the division that they are in but unless you own all the top belts I do not see how you can undisputed. The system is **** right now.

    There wont be any more undisputed champions for more than 6 months anyway. The Boxing authorities wont allow it.

    This is the kind of ignorant **** that is all too rampant on this board. All I simply stated is that Haye is not the undisputed champion, and that Cunningham is a worthy challenger. I don't see why I'm getting attacked for these comments. Holding the WBC/WBA/IBF titles at once is a commonly used standard in determining undisputed status. This isn't something I just made up, and I've maintained that stance on the undisputed status before the Haye/Cunningham situation came about.

    All have beat the best ... Haye just won the WBO which was the only belt that wasn't apart of the lineage to the Cruiserweight championship. Marmeck beat Bell who at the time was the undisputed champion (IBF, WBA, and WBC) and Haye knocked out Mormeck, thus making him the undisputed champion.

    Calzaghe reigned for over 10 years ... he beat Lacy for the IBF belt & the ring magazine championship ... then he beat Kessler for the WBA, WBC titles. That makes him the holder of all 4 belts and thus making him undisputed champion.

    Taylor beat Hopkins who at the time held all 4 belts ... Taylor then got knocked out by Pavlik, making Pavlik the undisputed champion.

    From what I understand ... Pavlik will soon be on a quest to get back the rest of his belts.

    Mainly as the IBF seem intent on keeping belts fragmented it would seem.
