Yea, Ricky Burns is the worst..
Oh that's right I forgot. Burns is not a champ. He's an " interim " paper title holder. Lol
Joe Calzaghe....fuck him
but also Enzo Mac was once a Wbo "world" champ..
Erm..Gavis Rees..(jeez i'm picking on the Welsh aren't I?)
Junior Witter but he seemed to be gaining momentum until Bradley beat him. Then it was all down hill.
Herbie Hide? Just too light and chinny to be heavy..
Frank bruno :vd:
None of those mentioned were the worst as they were all clearly better than domestic level
Also frank bruno is the best heavyweight that ever lived
Any other ideas?
Tyson Fury or Scott Welch
No welcome in the hill side for you.?Quote:

Yes agreed about Fury, Francis had a good run beat an undefeated Williams and other decent fighters until Tyson destroyed him.Quote:

Ugh, my mistake..I thought you meant British World champs.
Actually struggling with this one..most British champs I can think of kinda belonged there.
You don't half ask a lot of questions do you, bando? Most of the time I don't think you even mean to. Bless your lil cotton socks.Quote:

These two held the British Super Feather title during a period were the title was cursed and nobody could defend it , for years each champ would win against the odds then lose in their first defence.
These two were average journey men.
I mean that all British champs I can think of belonged on that level. So I can't really call any of them "worst"..Although McPhilbin who just beat Leon Williams for the British has to be one of the worst technical fighters I've seen? Awful..Quote:

long reigning champ??? HE BEAT FUCKING M'baye who had just picked up the vacant strap against Balbi and then drew against Kotelnyk, M'baye is 1-2-1 in World Title fights, hardly impressive, as for Rees only having one loss it was against Kotelnyk and he was KTFO by a fighter who has close to 0 power, he hasn't gone on to lose again cause all he's fought are local bums, hell 4 of his "wins" since the KO loss were on fucking Prizefighter, if you go from "World Champ" to fighting on a rinky dink tourney like Prizefighter it means either A) you've hit rock bottom or B) you never were that goodQuote:
