He still wouldn't have The Ring belt, so he wouldn't be undisputed, not to me anyway. I also think he'd need a Jacobs rematch, that win was questionable.[/quote]BitPlayer wrote:[quote="Cent0089"]Fight BJS to become undisputed champ.
Then at least one more solid fight to defend all titles (Canelo, Eubank, Jacobs reamtch, Charlo)
Then retire
Ward stepped up a divisision to fight a P4P ranked beast in Kovalev. GGG has never stepped up a division nor even fought someone as highly regarded as Kovalev.nuthin4sumpthin wrote:Retire?apollo creed wrote:Lot's of wear and tear from lots of fights and hard sparrings/training should burnout a 35 y/o fighter.

He's not Andre Ward, dude.
GGG is a real fighter
It's worth far more than anyof the alphabet titles that regularly bring us great champions like:SaadOffTheDeck wrote:The Ring belt is worth a bag of chips. Stale chips if he didn't win it last week.
Actually, it isn't worth nearly as much as any of those. Those paper belts help guys get fights and earnings. The ring title has never done either for anyone. Again, if they didn't award it to the winner last week than it's even more of a laughingstock than the WBA super interim plantain banana belt.BitPlayer wrote:It's worth far more than anyof the alphabet titles that regularly bring us great champions like:SaadOffTheDeck wrote:The Ring belt is worth a bag of chips.

So, if he beat BJS and Canelo in his next pair of fights to hold the WBC/WBA/IBF/IBO/Ring titles, you wouldn't consider him undisputed champ because the Jacobs result was arguable?BitPlayer wrote:He still wouldn't have The Ring belt, so he wouldn't be undisputed, not to me anyway.

Yeah, if he actually beat multiple champions like say Wlad that'd maybe be different, but since he doesn't even have that.crusader wrote:So, if he beat BJS and Canelo in his next pair of fights to hold the WBC/WBA/IBF/IBO/Ring titles, you wouldn't consider him undisputed champ because the Jacobs result was arguable?BitPlayer wrote:He still wouldn't have The Ring belt, so he wouldn't be undisputed, not to me anyway.

For pretty much as long as I've followed the sport, undisputed champ referred to someone holding all the major ABC titles, so I will consider GGG the undisputed champ if he does the above. Further, unless a fighter has beaten everyone in the division, there are still guys out there who can dispute the person at the top actually being the best, so going by a select group of titles in this case adds practicality to the concept.
Do you not consider Ward a unified champ due to the heavily debated nature of his win over Kovalev? Or is that somehow a clear win while GGG's was questionable?
No. Ward sat out for 18 months and couldn't make SMW anymore.BitPlayer wrote:Ward stepped up a divisision to fight a P4P ranked beast in Kovalev.
