When a fighter is Undisputed champion and puts all the belts on the line against a contender and he loses all of them? I mean the champion had to beat every champion to earn them and all a sudden he loses a fight and that nobody has all the belts and to call himself undisputed:bart . I mean I understand losing one belt. but why does the new champion get to earn that exprience, if he didnt beat and have to went thru what the other guy went thru to earn them. What do u guy think about this?:think
In most cases the the challanger has faced tough opposition to get to that point, but I understand what your saying though. I wonder how many titles Tarver got from Roys extensive collection when he knocked him out?:think
Most Champs have the option of putting up all the belts. Some do - some don't. Like with Judah vs. Baldomir - Baldomir didn't pay the santion fees for one of the Alphabet Orgs., so when he beat Zab - he didn't get that belt. That's how Zab was able to fight Mayweather and was still called a Champ. If you pay the fees - you can fight for the belts - it pretty much comes down to the money.
yes its fair. Its unfair when the belts are unified and then the ABC's ununify them as soon as the champ loses them. The guy who went through the trouble of unifying the belts will always have that in his legacy, and theres no reason for him to keep a piece of the pie when he loses.
If you lose a fight you don't deserve to have any belts. The new champ will have to defend them against all comers anyway. Well at least all mandatories or be stripped. Mandatories are a joke though.
bull**** if you beat a guy with 4 belts you should be rewarded bigtime. that is the history of the sport 4 belts means nothing, if you beat the man in the division regardless if he has four belts you are the man PERIOD. if you are not worthy you will lose soon enough i.e buster douglas.
its fair imo, losing all the belts to a legitimate contender especially if its unanimous or a knockout means he's been beaten by a better fighter..now its his problem to defend it.
It shouldn't matter. The undisputed champ will still have the satisfaction of 'EARNING' all the belts the hard way. Most fighters want to achieve great things and this is one way of doing them.
