Will we need to wait another 25 years?

Post by Contendeh »

If undisputed took the Heavyweight Division 25 years to sort out and the belts are broken up shortly after May 18th, how long will it take next go round?

If past predicts future, this could wind up being a three times in a lifetime event.

It doesn't take anytime. There's only ever 1 Champion at any one time. The rest are contenders with a belt.

The whole idea of being a 3 or 4 belt Champion is stupid.

A lot of silly hype over this.

Fury beat Klit

I couldn't care less what the alphabets do.

When do you think Wlad's claim to the championship became undisputed (regardless of belts)?

The best thing the Saudi's have ever done is give the fans the fights we have wanted.
I hope they continue and we will not have to wait that long again

Probably a long time.... the IBF twats apparently already stripping Usyk according to reports.
Clearly want their sanctioning fee and will put up 'whoever' as soon as they can :roll:

This 25 years thing is formal, actually. The Klit situation was special, they cleaned up the division, but split the belts, which any of them would collect easily without the presense of a bro.

The David Haye win pretty much sealed it as that was his 3rd belt, and the biggest possible opponent he could've faced at the time.

At the time, they were the 1st and 3rd rated heavyweights in the world according to The Ring.

On another note, I don't think Wlad ever beat the #1 heavyweight in the world.

He hasn't beaten the real #1 HW, since objectively it was his brother, and in the period of his vacation in 04-08 there was no firm #1. Byrd in 2006 was the best candidate for that.
