    You would be right in the correct context.
    However in boxing the correct context never happens.

    Of course I know who he beat
    Read the post again.
    I was saying how hype can build an opinion and how something is built up
    Seems it went right over your head

    Still once again it's about context.
    Who was Joshua supposed to fight to win that world title?

    Consider Martin was an undefeated puncher with a world title and Joshua was having only his 16th fight
    Context. Seems missed on you

    Well what about Wilder beating Stiverne?
    You can't have it both ways.

    Wilders team with the WBC belt thought the unfit recovering Fury would be an easy scalp to take and with the Lineal and Ring magazine titles also up for grabs a better deal could then be made for a fight with Joshua who had the rest of the belts. However Wilders team got it wrong .

    You don't get credit for unifying if you lose you fanny.
    In a losing fight that he thought would be a gimme. as Tyson had been sat on his arse for ywo years getting wasted and stuffing his face.
    Wilder has never faced an elite "Fit" fighter. that's just a fact.

    Right now after Wlad the only lock at heavyweight for HOf is Usyk for his cruiser work. Fury is very close.

    If you win 4 belts in the style Charles Martin won you arent necesarily undisputed.
    I know,unlikely but teoretically possible.
    To give you an example Holyfield was a “unified champion” in the 90s without actually being the man.

    If you win them all in that manner, for some god forsaken reason....you are STILL undisputed, whether one likes it or feels that unfair.
