Why is being undisputed suddenly a common thing?

Shakur is not undisputed he's unified.

 

It's a good thing while it lasts.

 

They'd rather move up in weight and challenge themselves. Everyone already knew Pac, Floyd and Roy were the best in the division, no need to become undisputed

 

Spence is next

 

People seem to be fighting each other.

 

I prefer they clean out the devision before they move up this is boxing and anything can happen Aj and kahn come to mind

 

Exactly, better enjoy it because all of these belts are about to get split up again. As soon as either Spence or Crawford wins their's, that's gonna get split too.

 

Shauk?

Hayne?

 

He who has the belts has the leverage.
It’s the knew way, how it should be moving forward.

 

I'm not complaining either. It's great.

I think champs got used to fighting once or twice a year, collecting decent checks and pissing around letting big fights "marinate" (I've always hated that idea) ... and after boxing all but shut down for the better part of a year and everyone sat around and they didn't get paid I think they kind of want big fights for better money.

Whatever lit a fire under them, I'm all for it. I can't recall when there have been so many unifications in one year ... and more are coming up.

It's awesome. I'd rather watch the occasional boring unification between champs for all the belts than a pointless defense like Charlo-Sulecki.

 

In the past, only divisions that were worth unifying got unified. Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins & Kostya Tszyu unified divisions with the three major belts within a short space of each other. What's perhaps a little unusual now is that divisions that aren't so attractive, like Super Middle & Light Welter currently, are getting unified. It all comes down to money. If the money is there to unify & the fighters themselves aspire to be universally recognised as the best in the division & promotional / television arrangements allow it, the ingredients are there to go Undisputed.

 

The only title that matters in boxing is being the lineal heavyweight champion, the baddest man on the planet. The big daddy.

Everything else is smoke and mirrors.

 

Probably the best development in boxing in the last couple of years.
