Who was the worst linear HW champion?

Buster Douglas

Fight only lasted two rounds. The reason why you don't see this fight on BoxRec is because there was a blackout in all of Las Vegas and it was ruled a no-contest. Maybe Tye Fields was jogging that night, hence, the black out LOL.

WoW!!!! how did they do that? I know lennox fought the vitali and not wlad. Fight only lasted two rounds. The reason why you don't see this fight on BoxRec is because there was a blackout in all of Las Vegas and it was ruled a no-contest.

Then WTH is this? WoW!!!! how did they do that? I know lennox fought the vitali and not wlad.

Lennox Lewis never fought Wlad. Then WTH is this?

I'd go with Leon Spinks, even Briggs would've beaten him.

Shannon briggs. Leon was awful also.

I would've voted Spinks but he beat Ali in his 8th pro fight. Therefore, I voted Rahman because other than that one punch KO of a Lennox Lewis who just came from a fight with Wlad, what else has he done? Draw Toney?

it has to be Briggs and Rahman..

Picked Douglas, just because he only beat Tyson, lost the title, and eventually got KO'd in round 1 by Lou Savarese.

I voted for Spinks reactively, but if I could, I'd change it to Briggs. At least Spinks won his title honestly.

I've got Briggs.

leon spinks hand DOWN!

Sorry, but Leon Spinks was god awful. At least Rahman managed to be competitive with the top heavyweights. Leon Spinks lost to...well a shit load of people.

Briggs:thumbsdow

It has to be Shannon Briggs, his name popped into my head without even seeing the poll. Also you should add Primo Carnera who was basically HW champ because the mob said so This may be true. He was brought to the title and held onto through some dubiously fixed fights, yet I've always beleived he won it legit when he ko'd Sharkey. The fight is on you tube and it looks on the level. Sharkey widdow also said the fight was on the level and here husband would have never thrown a fight.

It's Rahman for sure. I really hate this guy, a stain on boxing.

How is Leon Spinks not winning? Everyone on that list would have beaten him. most people's knowledge of boxing on here goes back only 10 years. hence the wlad is more complete fighter than holmes/ali poll votes.
