still not a fan but wouldnt say he was the worst, i think Rahman was pretty crap
anyone who says Holyfield isnt a legend needs their head checked
Leon Spinks.
Title shot at 8th pro fight???? WTF??!!!
After some thought ....can anyone tell me why Buster Douglas should not be considered....one of the/ if not the worst ever?
He's a strange one, because his reign and his capitulation in his first defence were awful, but his performance in winning the title was certainly not one of the worst, infact was one of the best imo.Quote:

I know there are quite a few more than this....
I look through records all the time, so I look at some of these and wonder,,, HOW??? WHY???
But over all....The one person that sticks out to me, who had one of the worst records a champion could ever have....

Alot of people dont realize just how bad it got for Braddock before his comeback...
Trust me, the movie does no justice in explaining the whole story of this mans pivotal career...
When he ended up losing to Joe Louis, he was an old guy....But he was what he was and thats, a Boxer!!
Good luck and enjoy,
Coach
That is funny, and too think they tried to ban Holyfield because he lost his last few fights. Evander can slap some of these stats on the Commissions desk if it ever come up again ! Good post ! CCQuote:

Ruiz I agree 100%, but are you talking about Lennox Lewis, he was way over averageQuote:

He did have his moments but they were few and far between. I think Lewis could have been more exciting as a Champion. part of it is That Manny Steward - Punch and Grab technique. Grabbing as part of a boxing strategy is an illegal tactic. Just like a low blow, The Referees need to take note and start penalizing fighters for excessive holding, its really the main problems in the heavyweight division, A fighter starts getting points taken a way all that holding B.S. would stop .Quote:

Valuev lol!!!!!!
There was a man who was a paper champion during Ali's reign, Ernie Terrell and Yes John Ruiz.
Micheal Dokes and Mike I was so lucky that a worse Heavyweight John Tate was put in front of me Weaver. John Tate lost in the last seconds of the fifteenth round and never recovered again. Good old Ali sparring partner and blown up middleweight Jimmy Ellis. We forgot an old timer Jess I was so lucky the authorities scared the ****out of Jack Johnson for me Willard. Tommy Morrison coould have gone a long way but he had the attention span of a flea after the third round. There were a few more but they tried harder than these guys.
COOL CLICK i couldnt agree more with ya. yeah emanuel stewards got WLAD doing the grab and drain technique too. but atleast Wlad goes for the KO or atleast the TKO.Quote:
