The Worst fighter to earn the most money

John Ruiz. Hands down... Bingo. The man headlined two PPVs.

Without a doubt, Floyd Mayweather Jr. i used to say floyd sucked but after he beat oscar and hatton you really cant say he sucks any more. he dodged a shit load of people though, and he is a shit talking thug, but he still at least has 2 great fighters on his resume. i dont know all the fighters off that list so well but id say gatti out of the ones i recognize. gatti was never good, he lost every decently big fight he had, but god damn what an entertainer.

valuev definitely, only winning fights b/c of his size advantage over people.

What about Douglas? He got like $30 million for a Holyfield fight. I've said it before you look at that kinda money, and how mike was making like 20 mill a fight in the 80's you can't help but think what a fighter like that would make today.60 mill a fight? shit....:no:

Shannon Briggs and Zab Judah are good examples. And, Miguel Cotto Hasim Rahman Floyd Mayweather Bernard Hopkins have all made a lot more than they were really worth. I'll give you rahman everybody else er no.

Valuev. He's horrible, and the only positve thing about him is fighters have to jump to reach his head. He only deserves 50k a fight. When hes getting much more.

Rahman. I mean one good win gets you a shitload of money does it not?

I assumed you were talking about current champions. Sure, there have been enough bad ones in the last few years that Cooney could have beaten at least one of them. I wouldn't pick him over Valuev though. But Cooney made over 10 million in his career (when it was worth a lot more than it is now), which is why I picked him in this category. If your white and American say your Irish. If your Irish move to America. Damn If I was boxer I'd move to America like Matthew Macklin and play my Irish parentage card.

you don't think he can beat a lyakhovich? old maskaev? valuev? washed up rahman? I assumed you were talking about current champions.

who you got? Alot of those guys you have on your list were great fighters, just shitty boxers. You don't have to look pretty in the ring to be a great fighter, and you can be one of the best technical boxers on the planet and be a really shitty fighter.

Ottke, he is a constructed hero.

gerry cooney would be a champ if he fought in this era. Cooney was just another white american hope that failed miserably He would be a failure in any era Conney would get destroyed by the top Eastern European heavyweights

Why did you put all white fighters in the poll?? There are tons of black and hispanic fighters that have been ridiculously overpaid. You're a racist douchebag Yeah. He claims to have been robbed quite a lot, although I've never seen any of the fights he lost. One of these days I might get bored enough to look at his autobiography in my local library. He went the distance with Corrie Sanders though, so that another British cruiserweight that is better than Wlad:p His Book is a great read mate

I'm not so sure about that. All his big wins were over badly washed up fighters. you don't think he can beat a lyakhovich? old maskaev? valuev? washed up rahman?

Johnny Nelson is black. carnera is a bald silverback and valuev is the missing link
