    Saw this on the General board and thought it's an interesting question.
    It's between Lewis or Wlad personally for me.
    Lennox did the trick against Holyfield but then gave some up, whereas Wlad did, I think, hold most of the belts at one point.


    Then again if it's about the lineal.. Maybe tad more confusing, or not??

    Be careful guys on what you post, you might anger some youngsters, they might get an upset stomach because of your opinions, too much Castor Oil. They might accuse you of not knowing much about boxing. Ha Ha.

    Definitely confusing,Fergy. I wonder if Fury and Usyk will finally get round to a unification bout?

    Only if we can keep that Budinski Deontay Wilder out of the equation, he already had his chances. He should be arrested for Obstructing Progress. Ha Ha.

    That's the hope, mate, but it's the usual thing with boxing, money talks.

    Lennox Lewis became the undisputed heavyweight champion in his second fight against Evander Holyfield. The dispute is about the VBO belt.
    It is interesting that at the time of that fight (Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield 2) the holder of the WBO belt was Vitali Klitschko (the last fight and the last victory of Lennox Lewis).
    No one took Herbie Hide as a serious heavyweight champion back then, and Vitali Klitschko beat him to win the WBO belt.
    It should be understood exactly from which fight the WBO heavyweight title becomes the malor title.

    Rummy explained to us, and there is no reason not to agree that the WBO title becomes the major one from the fight for the unification of the middleweight titles Bernard Hopkins (IBF, WBA, WBC champion) vs Oscar De La Hoya (WBO champion) on 18. IX 2004.

    How does holding most of the belts make you undisputed champ? You understand what undisputed means,ferguson?

    Wlad was never an could never be undisputed champ without beating Vitali
