I say chris byrd...when I think of a heavy weight champ, I think of ali, liston, marciano, tyson, holmes, foreman etc...I'm used to heavywieght champs being the biggest and the baddest...You know when they step in the ring someone is going to get beat the f**k up...!!! :boxing:

You would pick byrd over ruiz?

I agree with the guy who started the thread

When I think of HW's I think Louis, Tyson, Ali, Lewis, Marciano, Dempsey, etc.

Byrd does not fit in that category:D

Leon Spinks, Michael Spinks, Bruce Seldon, Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno, Trevor Berbick etc...

Leon Spinks, Michael Spinks, Bruce Seldon, Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno, Trevor Berbick etc...

lennox lewis? his right was an all time great punch. he was a very good champion.

with the exception of lewis and micheal spinks i would agree with your list. spinks was a decent champ def not on seldons level.

i remember watch Lewis/Tyson and thinking that Lewis straight right had a good amount of sting to it

i remember watch Lewis/Tyson and thinking that Lewis straight right had a good amount of sting to it

most def, that punch had some pop to it. and lewis used it well too

Lamon Brewster

Pinklon Thomas.He looked downright sickly in the ring

yea how brewster was ever blessed with a title is beyond me but I'm sure he won't have it for long haha even he was suprised he won it

well i must say Ruiz because i expect a champion to box not wrestle.

Leon Spinks and Bruce Seldon by far

makes Brewster look like Tyson

Frans Botha I believed held a piece of the alphabet for a very short time.

I'll put a vote in for big Johnny Ruiz.

BRUCE SELDON, hands down, worst "champ" in history

Bruno #2, Botha #3, Ruiz #4

Lewis should never have been even mentioned when asking who was the weakness. He was a great.

Fix, I just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention when I slipped Lewis in there. :D

Lewis blows i ahte him, flame flame flame. booo lewis :firedevil :firedevil

Lewis blows i ahte him, flame flame flame. booo lewis :firedevil :firedevil

from what I understand, Lewis does blow :luvbed: :D ...but he was a great fighter

anybody who said lennox lewis is a dumb ass..lennox lewis beats any heavyweight ever 2 outta 3 times too big too strong too smart...back to the topic..weakest heavyweights - john ruiz ingamar johannson floyd paterson heavyweights post-jack johnson

too big? too smart? he fought small dumbasses :mad:

Either John Tate, Greg Page, or Tony Tubbs.

Definitely Lennox Lewis, Lamon Brewster, WK.

I'm curious though, why do people say Michael Spinks? He had enough ability to make 3 title defences before it was stripped from him (Sancioning body BS). He never lost his title in the ring and the only fighter to a) beat him b)knock him down and c) knock him out was Tyson in his prime. I guess it's just opinion, but I'm just curious...

maybe not but he is far from the worst

are you serious with saying LL?

I agree with an earlier mention of Bruce Seldon being the weakest champ. He won his title on a cut against an old Tony Tucker, beat one of the worse heavyweight challengers in history in Joe Hipp then got nailed in one round by, a past his best Mike Tyson. Seldon is certainly weak!

Lamon Brewster



Agreed but, I think you should give him a chance to see what he can do with it first. You never know maybe some totally different fighter will emerge now that hes champ.

I dont think this will happen but its just a little soon to be putting him on this list dont you think?

Chris Byrd is probably the weakest heavyweight champion in terms of pysical strenght. However that of course does not mean he is the worst heavyweight champion ever by any means. I will take John Ruiz as being the least talented heavyweight champion ever, however the guy did make 4 defences, so there were probably worse guys.

Worst Undisputed Champion Ever, would be an interesting topic, my vote goes to Sonny Liston for the dive he took against Ali, even though if he did not take the dive, supposedly the mafia threatened to eat his children or whatever, but he probably did it just for money, betting against himself to loose a 1st round KO the odds were probably like 1-30 on LIston loosing ViA KO in round 1, especially since the public hated Clay.

Definitely Lennox Lewis, Lamon Brewster, WK.

Micheal Spinks was one of the best light heavy champs ever. He won two controversial decisions against old man Holmes.( no way he won the second Holmes fight, #1 was close) He beat Steffan Tangstad and Drunk Cooney. Not exactly great. He was a good heavyweight at best. I find it curious how you would question anyone saying Spinks, but then saying Lewis is one of the worst? That's nuts!

people shouldn't discriminate aganist bryd just because of his style, the fact is byrd has been very succesfull and hs made many defences of his title, he certainly isn't one of the weakest champs in history, i think bryd would have given a lot of former champions very tough fights with his style, the same way as jimmy young gave foreman problems, i think bruce seldon has got to be at the top of the list in terms of being the weakest champ

It's not nuts to me. Lewis was boring and unimposing at times.

Is it? :p

can't argue with that logic. :D

Lennox Lewis was an above average Heavyweight who would be a tough match up for any Heavyweight. We will have to agree to disagree, becuase I think Lewis was both exciting and imposing in the ring.

Is this even a tough ?,hello Johny Ruiz :D

marciano fought in the weakest era ever ..he was the only prime good fighter...not his fault tho..but he should of lost to moore he was saved by the ref

Does Lamon Brewster count? If so, he's the worst hw champ ever.

Lamon Brewster, Chris Byrd, and John Ruiz. Not that Ruiz is weak, but he is a sloppy fighter, and doesn't deserve to be in the ring with some of the people he fights.
