Therefore Nate Campbell never went above him even though he beat Juan Diaz. The number 1 in many peoples eyes bar the Ring mag. Fukk The Ring mag.
And actually I don't consider Calzaghe a two weight world champ cuz he ain't won a WBC, WBA, WBO or IBF title at light-heavyweight. Just my opinion

The Ring didn't judge the fight just followed the official result! As I've said before the best fighter in the division is not always the champion or the title would never change hands.
Just because Nate beat Juan didn't make him champion. Look at Liston he was avoided for years by Patterson & considered the best fighter in the division but he only became champion by beating the champion! Now how is that system stupid? Whats stupid is being given a paper belt & having 3 or 4 other paper belt holders all claiming to be champ... but thats just my opinion!!!
Why doesn't it ? Cuz he never beat the lineal champ Conamayor ? He beat Juan Diaz, the number 1 Undisputed world champion of the division. Therefore Nate becomes the Undisputed champ and number 1 of the division.
When did Campbell become undisputed champ? Must have missed that one! The majority of the titles Diaz collected had been stripped!
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
