Lennox Lewis did. Was he ever "technically" the undisputed champ?

How about Gene Tunney?

That's interesting. He beat Greb and lost to Greb as a light heavyweight. Does that count?

Maybe I was misled.

BTW, I read that Ali patented himself after Tunney. But others say Robinson and still others say Walcott...

Who knows?

I am getting confused.

It was Rock and Lennox Lewis. Now Tunney added to the mix. Johnson beat Jeffries.

Right you are :DD

Sorry, was reading an article about him the other day and they mentioned him retiring undefeated in May 1905 unable to find a worthy opponent. He must have made a 1 off comeback for Johnson.
