    So is pretty much anyone else who's won a title in the last 25 years. Not many undisputed champions.

    By definition you cannot realistically have an undisputed champion, as the moment they are challenged their championship is being disputed.

    But what you can have is 'generally recognized' champions, where there is a consensus that a fighter is THE champion of a division. And even in this era of multiple titles, these champions do stand out.

    And as much as I was a Bomber fan, for many years, through thin and thinner, he never got that general recognition, McCall victory or not.

    But he was a world champion by definition. :clap:

    And in the UK, he did get that, because after all, David Haye was also called a world heavyweight champ

    David Haye is a good example of my point:

    He was THE Cruiserweight world champion, and A world Heavyweight title holder.

    I agree; I have not seen a fighter representing the UK beating a pubic wig.
