The Tale of what happened to every undisputed champion from the year 2000 to present day. I hope everyone Enjoys! Support Me on Patreon: / officehancho
When writing the script , narration and editing portion , I had completely forgotten to write the Charlo bit (Had alot to say in his come up to becoming Undisputed). I was too far in production to go back and fill in. I filled in the dates when his reign had started and had it as a slide .
Maybe somebody that watches these videos can fill in some missing information for me. Before Canelo got to Caleb plant what were the scorecards looking like? Would Plant have won if he had avoided the knockout or would it have been a matter of winning those last two rounds?
Can we all just appreciate the "Force" that was Bernard Hopkins, became undisputed hitting his late 30s in a weight class where older guys get crushed and still went on to become the oldest champ in his late 40s, what a machine, some people are just built different 🥀
For sure. BHOP is a legend, one of the greatest of all time, and one of the greatest stories careers in history considering starting so late, and losing his first fight, to go on to such a legendary career. Amazing story start to finish, BHOP is was boxing is about.
He beat Tarver. Beat his ass to. That's after those crushing knockouts. Roy Jones Jr. Everybody counted bhop out just like the Trinidad fight. I was locked up for that fight. All the Spanish guys took Tito. I made a lot of money. Stamps and cigs😭😭
Technically, Wladimir Klitschko was the undisputed champion for a short stretch when the WBC title was vacant - he was the only heavyweight champion of the world. He was even announced as the undisputed champ in his with against Pulev.
@@iorekby it isn't. Undisputed doesn't mean "fully unified". Mike Tyson had all 3 major belts, being fully unified, but he wasn't undisputed until he beat Spinks. Wlad didn't have all 4 major belts, but there was no one to dispute his claim, hence undisputed.
@@iorekby hardly a fanboy recognision if he was announced in the ring like that. And Mike Tyson wasn't recognized as the champion by The Ring Magazine until he beat Spinks.
@MaccaveliPL Announced 😅 wow that makes it official. And Spinks held the ring belt. So Tyson didn't have all the belts til he beat him. Like I said, when you have all the legit belts you're undisputed.
Notice how the older fighters had respect for the sport and would rather get stripped for a title than to duck a fight and not give their opponents the same opportunity that was given to them.
It would have been more insane if he actually accomplished the feat. He says he’s the best ever but I guess the best ever could not accomplish becoming undisputed.
@@hoosiernative9668 so because he didn’t win one more title this somehow tarnishes his legacy? I’d argue that having 2+ belts in multiple weight division is just as impressive of a feat and show of dominance and deserves acknowledgment. Was Manny ever undisputed? No. De La Hoya? No. Moseley? No. Most of his best contemporaries were never undisputed. He still beat more champs than anyone in history. 5 division champ.
@@mwillia1026 the funny thing is though this was the end of his career. Pacquaio was mayweather's last competitive fight so he probably had no intention of fighting Brook.
Thank you for these videos @OfficeHanchoBoxing. I never payed attention to belt politics. You helped me realize how fucked these promotions can be. Literally can win a title and be stripped because they dont like you.
I've seen people like Bernard Hopkins defend their titles against clearly underqualified mandatory opponents just so they couldn't be stripped. And then, others would come up and bash them for taking the fight knowing good and well that it was the rules.
When you look at the whole sanctioning body thing, when you look at the belts and all of it, there are a lot of people without talent, who don't do much work, who make a lot of money and have a lot of power over the fighters, who do basically everything. It really would be great if someone would actually do an expose on all of that and show who really pulls the strings in boxing.. it's not the mafia, well, it's not the ITALIAN mafia...
Josh Taylor's one needs a bit more detail - Taylor was soundly beaten by Jack Catterall, or at least that is what every single onlooker saw, because the judges gave an inexplicable decision victory to him despite Catterall hurting him, out working him and generally getting the better of him for the majority of the fight. Taylor vacated, but this is to allow a second fight with Catterall to go ahead. Taylor still says he won - he didn't - but still fair enough for giving Catterall a second chance with hopefully a fair outcome this time around. Shame this means him winning wouldn't make him undisputed like he deserves to be.
Man I didn't know Floyd was that close to undisputed damn smh 🤦🏿. All we can do is wonder how that would of played out against brook 😭. Oh a screw boxing politics. Didn't realize it was that many fighters that could have become undisputed
I was at the Crawford-Indongo fight and just so happened to be in the aisle Crawford came down during his intro. the whole building was electric during the fight.
All of this stripping of titles between organizations gives even more truth to why MMA is the top combat sport. Not only is it more exciting, there is much less corruption.
The major downside in MMA there's absolute no way to prove your the best in MMA, it's a promotional illusion. There's no MMA champion. Just a champ from that MMA organization. MMA organizations like UFC refuse to allow their fighters to fight others from different organizations. That'll be like if the WBC, IBF ,WBA , WBO refused to allow unifications. You move up that belt organizations, you become Champ and that's it . In boxing you move up those rankings, you become Champ , you fight your mando and the next best step to prove you're the best is to unify against a fighter from a different organization. In MMA this'll be the equivalent of a UFC champ fighting a Rizen , Bellator or One FC champ .
Less corruption? Does a 16-20% share of revenue towards the athletes sound like less corruption? What about no sponsorships? What about fight contracts binding fighters to the UFC?
There is no money in MMA 🤣🤣 and the fact is every boxing video you get someone like yourself trying to advertise MMA. Boxing fans don't need to stoop to such levels because the sport is already established at the top of the tree.
@@in4mus85 fr that’s honestly one of the things I hate about MMA, mainly the UFC, and it’s fans. They’re always trynna talk shit about boxing and bring it down to promote their sport. Even in the beginning of the UFC Joe Rogan n Dana white would always talk shit about boxing and how it’s dying and mma is gonna take over. Nowadays any boxing vid or post you go on you got mma fans talking shit trynna get people to watch it
Can you imagine if you make less than a million dollars for a fight but you're charged $200,000 for sanctioning fees?? Who does that money even go to? Why is there no transparency in boxing, other than, it's a giant conspiracy?
This was interesting, as to be honest I usually start at 2004/2005 when the WBO belt became the qualifier for the "undisputed" title. With modern promotions being so incestual and the fact that someone as dominant as Fury isnt undisputed. Despite beating an aging Klitschko. It really muddies the water
@@OfficeHanchoBoxing Only the IBF I believe held out. But that really isnt the point, around 05 most people started including the term undisputed in regards to all 4 organizational belts
Someone as dominant as fury? What you smoking? Whyte and wilder over the span of 7 years isn’t dominating. Lennox as a comparison fought everyone who stood in his way, Tua, Tyson, Ruddock, McClellan, Mercer, Holyfield etc.
"Dominant"?? Who did he beat outside of Klitschko and Wilder? The current generation of AJ, Usyk, Joyce, Parker and Dubois are all right there, 2 of them with Frank Warren and exactly who has he dominated? One of the Wilder fights was a draw and he got dropped multiple times in the rematch, remember?
The man was split open by no-names like Otto Wallin and dropped by Steve Cunningham. Do all you Fury cult members share the same 8ball and convince each other that he is better than Usyk?
Imagine if Crawford had to face Adrian Broner and Danny Garcia to become undisputed. I don’t think he would have beaten those two guys at that time. They were already naturally bigger guys and both had knockout power.
I think hexstiols beats them broner because he's %onna get tired take to many rounds off and not let his hand go enough and I think Crawford has enough power to gain broner respect Def wouldn't knock him out but enough to keep him off him but prolly wouldn't let his hands go any way I think Pauline yes thsts on purpose best him slightly have to rewagch tho could be wrong and Garcia is good he had power but I don't this he was technically sound enough and I don't think his ring iq is high enough for all the traps Crawford will he setting and his switching again this is completely my opinion couldnbe wrong he could drop both fights a d gdt stopped never know but I think he would have took it I don't think their size would of been enough tbh Crawford isn't small and even then hed have height and length advantage can't remember Garcia height and reach but I think Crawford may edge him if I remember right but even in Garcia losses he still did ok good chin do does ab but Garcia better and I think would take the shots better than ab but Crawford was cutting alot still do I don't don't size would be a factor honestly jot a major one
Lmaoo broner and Danny Garcia ?Danny turned down huge money to fight Crawford when Crawford first got to 147. Danny was ok at 140 when he beat kahn and the Argentina guy but at welter he lost all big fights and was awarded wins he didn't deserve like vs lamant Peterson and Mauricio Herrera witch he lost . Broner would of got stopped by Terrance early
0:51 - "The 4 belt era started in 2007" = NO, this is not correct. It started in 2004, a whole 3 years earlier when Bernard Hopkins defeated Oscar De La Hoya to unify ALL major world championship belts; WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO + Lineal title belt in the Middleweight division. And then Hopkins became the first man to also defend all the belts when he out-boxed Howard Eastman later same year. 4:21 - NO that text reference is alo not correct. Cecilia Braekhus was NEVER the first 4 belt undisputed champion in boxing as a whole in 2014. Again P4P it was Bernard Hopkins who was THE first man ever to unify all 4 major worlde championship titles back in 2004 + FIRST to defend all titles as well same year. Extra fact: The first boxer P4P to have held all 4 major title belts at various times in his career was Heavyweight Riddick Bowe, who had the WBC, WBA, IBF + Lineal title from 1992-1993 and from March 1995 - 5 May 1996 was the WBO world heavyweight champion = The first man to have at various points held all major world title belts, even if the WBO title was not in the USA recognized the same way as it was in Europe and South American regions.
Ah no it didn't . There's a whole page listing every Undisputed champion from every era. 4 Belt started in 2007. Every belt organization recognized the WBO as a legitimate organization thus spawning the 4 belt era.
@@OfficeHanchoBoxing I see. But thje WBC was the very last organization to recognize the WBO title and they did that in 2003. In fact if Wladimir Klitschko did not have lost to Corrie Sanders in that upset loss, there is a big chanse Lennox Lewis planned fight with him would have been a WBC/WBO/IBO unification that would have landed in early 2004, even if not all belts would have been on the line.
@@yeah91919 No the IBF was faster then the others. A lot of champions held the IBF & WBO mix but it never happend with WBC & WBO mix. IBF came short before the WBO and knew the bully style the WBC & WBA did. However now they are all the same...
It doesn't start with fights , it starts with belt organizations unanimously recognizing that organization is legitimate. WBO wasn't fully recognized by all bodies til 2007 so therefore before 2007 you were only required to have 3 belts to be undisputed.
@@colenicholson9486 not just someone dangerous, someone two weight classes above him. Look at what happened when Canelo fought Bivol. Its a huge ask, at welterweight Brook was a force until that life changing fight with GGG and tbh Brook was winning until his face broke. He's been paying the price ever since. And I again I'll repeat look at who Mayweather has fought since pacquaio. If he was this force you speak of he wouldn't have fought bums ever since.
My own book, doesn't really mean shit, i consider both Klitschko's to be undisputed, held all the titles between eachother for so long, refused to fight eachother. then got absolutely robbed from his rightful place to take out an absolutely easy test of Wilder(at the time, wilder was the definition of a one hit fighter, nothing else, now he's slightly more than that).
Wtf with the hate on the lower weight classes?? Naoya Inoue won all 4 belts and was undisputed at bantamweight (118 lbs) like a month before this video was made in November 2022 I think 🤣... He then went up to super bantamweight (122 lbs) in July 2023 and KO'd Stephen Fulton for his 2 belts (WBC and WBO). It's already been announced he's looking to fight Marlon Tapales for his WBA and IBF belts at super bantamweight so it's possible that he becomes a 2-time undisputed champion at bantamweight and super bantamweight before the end of 2023 depending on how negotiations go with Tapales. And to be completely honest, if all goes well and according to plan, Inoue could realistically become undisputed at featherweight (126) and junior lightweight (130). That would make him a 6-division champion, 4 times undisputed. If there's anyone in the boxing world that could accomplish it, in my estimation it's Inoue.
Undisputed means u got all the legitimate belts in the division. Those are the WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF belts. The IBO is the most prominent illegitimate belt and is the extra one u often see some fighters have but its nowhere near as important and some fighters actively ignore it. If u have just one of the legitimate belts then ur a world champ, if u have 2 or 3 of the legitimate belts ur a unified champ and if u have all four of the legitimate belts them ur the Undisputed champ of that division, basically top dog. There's also the ring magazine belt which is basically a belt made by ring magazine to show who's the top guy of that division in their opinion regardless of who's champion or unified etc. The lineal champion is someone who beat the guy who beat the last guy basically. It dates back to when boxing first started as a sport and before the alphabet belts and is pretty much not cares about all that much by most but still can be important for promotion. For e.g Tysoe fury vacated his belts but was still lineal when he came back to boxing and since he hasn't been beaten he is still the lineal champ from the old skl line of boxers. The WBA specifically has a Duper champ(the real one) and the regularl champ. The regular is basically just an interim belt but can be used and promoted as a big money fight essentially and if a super champ vacates the regular can sometimes be promoted to super champ
You should explain to your viewers, since a lot of them don't understand, that when a fighter gets up and then falls back down, the fight is to immediately be stopped... That's what happened to zab Judah, people just don't seem to get that. Trevor burbick should have been stopped right after he fell the first time, but the fight was so big and it was what it was but please explain to your novice fans how that works...
Shame the Andrade and Derevyanchenko thing happened, GB really fucked up on that. Otherwise, Canelo would have become undisputed at MW, and we'll never know, but if had gone the same route down the road, he would've been a two division unisputed world champion
