Who is the worst heavyweight champion?

[Derranged]

Valuev is up there for sure. Technically he shouldn't even have had the WBA, considering the two fights that earned him the title were gift decisions in his favor. (Larry Donald and John Ruiz).

My worst three heavyweight champions:


1.Jess Willard
2.De La Hoya
3.Ruiz

[Tiozzo]

worst lineal heavyweight champs

Schmeling FOR WINNING HIS TITLE BY DQ

Briggs FOR WINNING BY ROBBERY

Spinks FOR WINNING THE TITLE OFF THE SHADOW OF ALI


Schmeling is a great fighter, but his championship days were a joke.

Leon Spinks. Yeah, I'd have to go with him too. I'd also go with Michael Spinks, since I thought Holmes beat him, but thought the fights were close. At least the second fight the judges should've given him.

[Dynamite76]

Leon Spinks.

Ruiz was shamed by a middle weight ... I don't think it can get any worst than that

Spinks and Buster Douglas were not that great either for lineal ... Valuev might be the worst belt holder though ...

[Anthony342]

My top five worst are:

Douglas
Leon Spinks
Briggs
Rahman
McCall

Hate me all you want. Old Foreman deserves an honorable mention.
