Hopkins "No Need To Fight Kovalev "

I'm usually one to want a guy to take on all comers, but in Hopkins case, he's really freakin old. He has to be judicious in who he fights. Kovalev is not the sort he will look good against.

 

bhop already set the precedent. back in the day undisputed meant wbc, wba and ibf. when he chose to fight delaloya for the wbo...that raised the bar for undisputed.

no wbo....no undisputed.

 

wikipedia? that's your argument??? pathetic.

 

you do realize the majority of that list was comprised before the existence of the wbo and the ibf? right?

in this watered down day and age....undisputed means wbc, wba, ibf and wbo.

 

The link you posted says:

Criteria for being undisputed:

"2007–Present, a boxer who holds the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO titles simultaneously. (By February 2007, All four major Organisations were recognised by each other)."

You would have the case if the WBO titleholder was some lightly regarded fighter, but not if he's one of the top 3 guys in the division.

 

Sad, but true. (The watered down part).

 

He won't.

 

No, I mean he won't have that claim. He'd be a unified champ, but not undisputed.

I also don't think he'd beat Stevenson.
