I would say Primo Carnera... ;)
Even I will admit that Sergie Lyakhovich was a shitty champion. And I am a BIG SL fan. He had an awesome fight to win his title, then when it came to defend it,..........he really stunk up the place. I was so disappointed. My whole family was there to see this fighter that I had been supporting. I think that after that they thought I was in some kind of cult that propped up shitty boxers. THen his comeback has been almost as crappy as his defense.
But I would say That Briggs was a shittier champion.
Ruiz is a better champion than you all give him credit for, he has been competitive with many different people.......despite his shitty ass style.
i got to say the ambling alp primo carnera most of his fights where fixed.
i dont know why people would have buster douglas and hasim rahman they
both had great jabs douglas could knock guys out with a jab the main problem he had was mental phsically he had the tools to be a great champion if only his mind was right, could be abit chiny at times tho
in his comeback days

Hipp wasn't even Champ, so why include him. Seldon was a legitimate heavyweight champ who was an embarrasment to boxing when threw the Tyson fight. No HEART!Quote:

Hipp was all guts and some Glory...Remember his war with Morrison.Awesome fight but He was never a heavyweight Top three alphabet soup group champion....Quote:

I was at one point sold on Seldon.......Killer speed and piston jab.Then came Ribalta,Mccall wrecked him.An internal purring kitten in a roaring lions body.
Pinklon Thomas never particularly impessed me. Mike Weaver is another one. As mentioned above Carnera was probably among the worst. That said I have seen some footage where he actually looked ok and had decent speed for such a big guy.
I was always a fan of "The Boss"....He gave a good efforet whenever he stepped in the ring...never to be mistaken with a fighter of exceptional talent but there was just something likable about the guy as a fighter...Maybe it was the fact he always gave an hinest effort in there and tried the best with what he had....Quote:

Sad part is there are a hundred guys at least I can name with more skill the Joe but don't put foruth the effort he used to
shannon briggs is awful.
Shannon Briggs is up there and thats why I voted "Other."
