Wlad never won them all.
Ok, I'll accept AJ, Parker, Wilder sorting it out. Forget Charr. Mike Tyson never won them all.
Tyson did. The WBO meant nothing at all back in his prime days. Infact, the WBO heavyweight title didn’t even exist when Tyson was undisputed champ.
It didn’t gain equal standing with the other three until mid 00’s
That's why I said he was briefly undisputed.... Charles Martins title meant nothing to me. At all. The guy swaggered into The O2 stoned to defend it after literally been given it and then sold it!

To be fair, it wasn’t like Damiani suddenly became a credible world champion when he won the WBO back in the day. Tyson was undisputed for 6 fights until he lost to Buster. He became undisputed then Evander, then Bowe, then it became muddled.

Charles Martins title was as plastic as you’ll ever see. Even Joshua looked embarrassed after that load of bollocks!
Martin hit the jackpot when he landed that belt. Fair play to him for selling it to the highest bidder! :lol:

Yes, Larry Holmes beating WBO Ray Mercer in a non sanctioned fight didn't help - just showed how the boxers considered the WBO - same with Moorer, rather cash in on the big names than defend against Mandatories.

Bowe beat up Herbie Hide for it then basically left it in the ring! He didn’t give a toss about it

Yeah, he did defend against Jose Luis Gonzalez (I always think about the legendary Glyn Leach when bringing up his name) but not sure why he needed to vacate to fight Holyfield. ... who did the WBO sanction as mandatory.

Didn't he throw a "big three" belt in a dustbin before then?

Some will. But not ALL.. Briggs has as much appeal to me as Axel Schultz.

But he has really big muscles and talks a lot. What is WWE? Besides a good stock to own.

It couldn't be worse than the Klitschko beating.

Hopefully he quits on his stool with a shite excuse and his credibility is so shot that's the last we see of him
