weakest run to undisputed champ

[margaret thatcher]

among the current crop, i think jermell charlos a very good fighter and props for becoming undisputed

that said, if we are judging on a historical perspective his path to undisputed stands out to me as being pretty weak

tony harrison (char lost the first fight)
jeison rosario (among the worst unified champ ever)
brian castano (draw first fight)

has there been an undisputed champ with a weaker path to that accomplishment than this?

Craws path to 140 undisputed was pretty weak. didnt have any trouble along the way though.

He got a weak vacant title shot for his first belt. then got another belt in a very legit unification with pistol, Then the other 2 on a platter from indongo (who i bet on in mabey my worst bet ever).

[margaret thatcher]

ya good call, forgot he was undisputed tbh, that was one weak arse path to it

[boxing_rob]

There's a few that spring to mind that aren't undisputed but still not exactly awe inspiring, Gennady Golovkin despite his awesome talent, had a really strange path mainly caused by champions avoiding the mandatory and sanctioning bodies indulging them.

Gets vacant interim title against Milton Nunez (yes I looked that up), Sturm gets "upgraded" so he gets the regular title be default, the Sturm mandatory is never called and a few years later, Sturm loses to Daniel Geale who is stripped of the belt for not facing Golovkin.

Then he wins the interim WBC title against Marco Antonio Rubio, but again, Canelo's the champion, he doesn't want it yet and vacates, and that's 2 belts by default. Finally gets David Lemieux in the ring for the IBF belt, a decent opponent but no world beater. Fortunately he got the big fights later after he'd collected the belts.

Juan Diaz unified 3 titles by beating Lakva Sim, a 'one foot in retirement' Acelino Freitas and Julio Diaz.

Cory Spinks beat MIchelle Piccirillo and Ricardo Mayorga to get 3 belts. Bit harsh on Mayorga as he'd earnt it by beating Vernon Forest twice but I still think that's a pretty easy route.

Juan Diaz would have been my pick

None of these are actually easy. Weirdo thread.

[boxing_rob]

It's all relative of course, these are all world class professionals in a difficult sport. Maybe 'easy' is disrespectful and not the right word, but you must surely acknowledge that some runs involve tougher matchups than others?

if you cant even understand what's being asked, wee one

it's all about how they compare to one another

I understand perfectly. It’s you who knows virtually nothing about boxing or fighting in general.

If it was easy everyone would do it. It’s no wonder actual boxers stay away from this forum.

Ah, the moody midget is crabby again lol

Of course

Pretty much anyone with half a cell understands stuff like this, or debates about who the weakest world champ was, etc.

Only absolute bitches call world champions weak. Or make out a title run was easy. If it was easy everyone would do it.

Have you ever had a fight, bitch?

You yourself said Tyrone Woodley was one of the worst UFC champs for example. Exact same concept my man

Worst, weakest, exact same idea. Weird that you'd be so triggered!

Now you want to talk like a little girl? Triggered? I just gave my opinion and you started the insults. Go and actually do a bit of boxing and see how easy it is. You fuckin gimp.

I’ve asked you a few times if you’ve ever boxed or even had a fights. Your silence and choice of words answers the question.

You once whined about not knowing any actual fighters. Do you really wonder why? You’d get laughed out a gym.

Maybe at the Amazon warehouse

Oooh, good one

The Postol fight was genuinte unification, decent on paper.

The Indongo fight hhas looed worse as it's gone on, but at the time, he was looking good.

KO'd the Russian on Russian soil,

Then decisively outpointed Burns in the UK..

It wasn't the best run, but I remember at the time, there was some question marks. Then T-Craw, being who he is, just dealt with him and he certainly took something from Indongo..

Re: the juan diaz mentions

I think he might be the guy who stands out most as someone who unified, was ranked p4p, yet definitely wont make the hof. not often you see that

[Wee Tommy]

Oooh, good one

You said before you’d never been in a boxing gym and didn’t know any boxers. Keep up the lies they suit you.
