No, looks that WBA super belt had existed when Haye was in CW division and he had CW WBA Super belt. WBA does have a lot of different belts, Haye had at least these belts, sorry if all belts aren't there: EBU European Cruiser Title World Boxing Council World Cruiser Title World Boxing Association Super World Cruiser Title World Boxing Council World Cruiser Title World Boxing Association Super World Cruiser Title World Boxing Organisation World Cruiser Title World Boxing Association World Heavy Title BoxRec: David Haye
Tua beat two champs but never got an opportunity to fight them when they were champs. However, he also took a loooooong break in the middle of his career. Shavers had opportunities but couldn't get the ball over the goalline because of his chin. The other guys mentioned just were not championship level. Of course a lot of people who held belts were not championship level. Ruiz (Tua KHTFO)
Audley A-Force Harrison He had the will and had the skill and coupled with the strength of an ox and the heart of a lion it’s a travesty that he never won a world title, although there’s still time...
Ruiz I think just get lazy after this. Otherwise he looked legit: 0 cherry picked title fight in hometown, belts won via stoppage vs not old current champ with multiple belts. Looked pretty legit.
Not quite: 1) Audley Harrison won Gold @ Super-Heavyweight 2) Tyrell Biggs was the inaugural Gold medalist @ Super Heavyweight and never won a version of the world title in the pros.
That's really interesting, I understood that Tucker and Tyson fought for all three sanctioning bodies' belts, but I thought it wasn't for undisputed as Spinks still held The Ring belt and was seen as the lineal. Tyson v Tucker was advertised as The Ultimate https://thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/...onsite_1_d72617b6b64156ead56996c5a5d5422f.jpg Tyson v Spinks was advertised as The Undisputed https://www.thefightcity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/spinks-tyson-poster-444.jpg I'm slightly too young to know what the fans thought at the time, though.
Here's the complete Tyson vs Tucker broadcast, timestamed on when they start talking about some of the issues that plagued the tournament and the big names in the division at the time. They mention the Spinks situation, the Tucker situation, and it being for the undisputed crown multiple times. This content is protected
I was thinking the same thing. They made a whole big deal about tucker being the only person to survive in a major plane crash that had a whole team of boxers on it by missing the flight and that it was destiny for him to win the belt. Spinks drops the belt to this massive 6'5 275lbs with muscles everywhere and this is the guy infront of tyson becoming undisputed (spinks still technically lineal champ) and it seemed like tyson would steamroll him like he did everyone else but that this was a formidable opponent for mike. He went 12rounds with mike too and it wasnt an easy win for kid dynamite
