    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!

    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....

    I remember Bruce Seldom Seldon outjabbing the Hell out of Tony Tucker to win the WBA Championship...........and then falling to the canvas and crying and sobbing.........his corner people actually stood over him saying "Get up Bruce...come on act like a champ...Telling stuff

    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....

    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
