    Since there are 4 belts out there I think it would be very difficult for a couple reasons:

    1) You have to be very, very good to unify. It takes someone who can adapt to different styles and come out victorious.

    2) Politics. The boxing organizations and promoters make more money keeping them seperate.

    I agree with this. The way the organizations act with each other I don't think they would all work well enough together to allow it to happen whether it is an American or someone from another country. It would take someone who is an all-time great for the organizations to all bow down too and that's with a huge public outcry behind it too.

    Don't think there will. I hope that Wlad gets the WBC belt, and then he is the undisputed heavyweight champion, and then haters can shut up

    Chances are Vitali will fight Haye in December, then retie as Champion.
    Then Wlad was automatically fight for the vacant title vs the #2 contender which in all likely hood will be Helenius or Dimitrenko.

    Then Wlad will be unified until such time as he chooses to walk away from the sport altogether.

    Very possible... Wlad is close to becoming "undisputed" so if he fights on for a while (and the WBA doesn't pull any of his tricks), there's always the chance of him losing down the stretch. And why wouldn't that be an AmeriCan?

    And 50 years is a long, long time. So maybe, just maybe there's even a tiny chance there wil even be a British undisputed champ. Even that is remotely possible :yep

    There will never, ever be another undisputed champ.

    Americans will continue to pick up individual titles here and there though, and call me crazy, but I still hope the Bronze Bomber Deontay Wilder someday finds his way to a belt.
