    a ten count is not a ten second count.

    I never implied anything,if that’s what you picked up it wasnt my point.
    My point was this unified champ bs means really nothing but useless bigging up.
    If he wasnt the champ then what weight does this “unified champ” carry?

    I understand what you are saying but your imposing a belief system over reality.
    As I've explained winning a belt is good. winning more belts is better. winning all the belts is best as that makes you undisputed.
    So now we undertand we can move forward. Joshua having 4 belts is therefore better than Wilder having 1.
    What part of this is that difficult?
    The fact you don't like it or rate it is irrelevant. it's the consensus opinion (the majority) that counts.
    Having 3-4 belts is better than 1-2 it's that simple. It doesn't make you "The Man" or "The Champ" unless you have all of them.
    I'm glad we cleared that up G Man.
    Peace.

    My point was unified champ is not being the champ.
    The original point was that that was a fewt on his HOF CV.
    It really isnt.

    No one said it was........I've already addressed it several times I'm not repeating myself again.
    Also you don't have to be undisputed to get into the HOF. again that's you imposing your own rules that nobody else cares about.

    Been thinking about this a lot lately, and I think the answer is gonna be yes.

    He was a huge huge star in his prime. He stepped into the void left by Fury and unified 3 of the titles, whilst being ducked by Wilder for the 4th. He avenged his loss to Ruiz. He went in against a man who's definitely one of the best ever boxers to lace them up, and fell short.

    Any world champion is HOF worthy.

    Too many belts per division. too many guys can call themselves the champ in a single division. my 2 cents :)

    No, how? Everybody can't get in the HOF. He definitely doesn't deserve a nod. Neither does Fury. Hell, other than Usyk, no one active at CW to HW does.
