Worst Heavyweight Champion of all time

I have to go with

  1. John “Quiet Man”. I believe he was a sorry excuse for a champion
    Honorable mentions are

  2. James “Buster” Douglas

  3. Tommy Morrison

john ruiz…but he did beat the legendary evander holyfield, and had a draw with him

Hasim Rahman

Primo Carnera

He beat Evander Holyfield, but I would never say he beat the Evander that is the stuff of legend :wink:

Linear champs

Marvin Hart
Primo Carnera

Non Linear champs

Mike Weaver
John Tate
Michael Bentt
John Ruiz

apparently, evanders legendary prime didnt last all that long

can anybody please tell me during what span of boxing evander cemented his all time heavyweight great legecy?

Bruce Seldon, who scared against Tyson. ;D

Well Evander is a conundrum, he’s sandwiched between the likes or Tyson, Bowe, and Lewis. That’s tough company. HOWEVER, he whipped Michael Moorer AFTER having Hepititus and doctors finding a hole in his heart, and he also beat Lennox Lewis after that too.

The big four (Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield, Lewis) I rank as such
Bowe
Lewis
Holyfield
Tyson

Between the end of Tyson’s dominance and the Lewis fights I believe.

Henry Akinwande or Micheal Dokes. Has to be…

Ruiz or Rahman…Toney is in there as well…he had the title for like 4 hours…:slight_smile:

I remember Tyson-Seldon. That was one hell of a hair shot Seldon took

I agree with John Ruiz main reason .. stylistically he is one of the most boring fighters in the world. Hold , hold , hold , and Fuc#$ing hold. The fact that Ruiz is still a #1 contender just goes to show how pathetic and corrupt the sanctioning bodies are. Ruiz is always getting his ass kicked, Hell he has not won a fight legitimately in fucking years! What’s it going to take to get red of this guy? There is no interest !

Tommy Morrison at least came to fight. .

:coolclick: gbrandon

i was there at the mandalay bay that night and witnessed something i was glad i did not have to pay for. i was also there again for rematch and was again happy i didnt pay for my tickets hahaa. Holy did do better the 3rd time tho. both times the whole mandalay bay was screaming, “STOP HUGGING!!!”

Anyone but me ever here of Leon Spinks who had a record of 26 wins 17 losses and 3 draws and only 14 KOs. He once got stopped by a guy who was making his pro-debut.

True. True. He also went from heavyweight champion to homeless man in the blink of an eye.

The dope and booze had something to do with that.

Bruce Seldon!

Dope, booze, too much fame too early, and caveman like approach to fighting.

john ruiz - booorinnggg

trevor berbick - had anyone saw the vid where mike tyson landed a left hook on his gloves ( which was covering his face) then he went down rolling in the canvass then tried to get up just to fall again for 3 times? man, that was embarrasing… :-[

that should make him the worst of all time.. ;D
