He didn't fight Frankie Liles, but he beat Mitchell who beat Liles. Reid never had the title long, but he beat him, same with Woodhall.RJJ was already at Light Heavy - so couldn't unify against him, Sven Ottke - Would he have got any praise for beating that chump? So who should he have fought and didn't is the age old question!!

    i don't buy it.. if he holds all belts then this debate is over for sure.. why not collect all if he really wants to be called the UNDISPUTED CHAMP.. Reasons of no BIG UNIfICATION is not a valid ONE. isn't it is better if you hold a WBC,WBA,IBF and RING title than that WBO alone..
    Depends what means more to you. Just cause a chump like Saica holds a belt, does beating him improve your legacy? If Calzaghe won 3 more belts off 3 stiffs, people would not give him adulation for being undisputed champion, they would say he won the titles off nobodies. Have you seen how many of the biggest fights in recent years have been non title fights? I mean Pac is p4p number 1 and he has only fought for world titles in about 3 of his last 10 fights!!



    3 champ fights? get your facts straight mate.. Pac has been fighting world championship level since 98,he is currently the WBC Lightweight Champion, was formerly the WBC/Linear Super Featherweight Champion, The Linear/Ring Featherweight, IBF Super Bantamweight Champion and WBC/Linear Flyweight Champion and in the process he fought some HOF type not bums..and he is fighting most of the time away from his backyard.. So its not right if you compare his to JOE.. Again if Joe did what Pac did then theres no debate like this again.
