I know I didn't list all of the HW's who were considered to be the best HW's cuz I only had 10 option spaces and I basically omitted the choices that I knew for sure weren't gonna have the most votes in the poll. but I gave an 'other' option so you can post if there is another hw you think was the worst hw #1. And this doesn't mean that the fighter had to be ring champ cuz I know Wlad isn't the OFFICIAL ring #1 hw but we all know that he is the top dog in that division so I put him in there.
Probably Leon Spinks. It must be between him and Carnera. Thanks to Themanchine for providing some nice footage including the disturbing Canera KO of Schaaf.
I find it unbelieveable and somewhat unbearable that some posters have Marciano, Michael Spinks and Wlad as their choice. Some of the posters who voted as such are very good posters so I give those guys a Mulligan. Others exposed themselves in all their glory ignorance.
Michael Spinks? He was a great fighter...
Don't you mean "Neon" Leon?
Wlad may end up being the greatest of all time, a title Marciano now holds.
I have no idea why these two would be on your list... well maybe I do, and it does not have anything to do with their abilities.
then why are they on my list? who else am i suppose to include on there? its just a list. this list is not meant to be a statement of any kind. I'm not forcing anyone to vote for Marciano or Wlad.
and if you think wlad is gonna be the greatest of all-time, you are seriously delusional.
Primo takes the cake.
Braddock I can't really consider a top dog because he won the belt and sat on it for 2 years before he fought Joe Louis and Spinks I guess could be considered but he lost his rematch to Ali so to me he is not a real top dog either. Ingemar is also pretty bad but he was only the man for a year where he did not fight and lost the rematch and the third fight with Floyd Patterson, so he is in the same boat as Braddock and Spinks (although Braddock and Ingemar never had their career nose dive like Spinks after being Champ).

rumor has it dempsey cheated.
i've seen the video where they show like a piece of metal falling out of his glove.
weren't Dempsey gloves put on in the ring? so it would have been much harder to have cheated.
I didn't want to go that far back with Marvin Hart and Tommy Burns. and Leon
Spinks, Buster Douglas never made a single title defense so they can't really be considered Top Dogs in the HW division cuz it was for such a short time. I guess you can say the same for Hassim Rahman.
Yeah its very unfair to rate guys like Hart and Burns along with modern fights as there is not much video footage of them.
Funny list. Wlad, Bowe, Marciano and Walcott should definitely not be on there. Marvin Hart, Tommy Burns, Leon Spinks and Buster Douglas, among others, should.

Notice seven of kswizzy99's choice are WHITE champions. Kswizzy99 doesn't like white fighters.
Kswizzy99 is very similar to Flawless - not only does he not like white fighters, he tries to prove they're inferior.
:dunce::dunce::dunce: I'm white. I already stated that I made a mistake by leaving out Hassim Rahman and I can't think of any other black top HW that would win this poll. Oh and Jersey Joe Walcott, Michael Spinks, Riddick Bowe are black. you must really be a low IQ'd person.
If this is about you being called a racist, I wasn't the one who called you that. for trying to make me out to be a racist.....

Of course being the worst champion still means that 99% of the boxing world.. is shittier that you are.. so it's not like any of these men need to hang their head in shame..They were HW champions after all..
indeed. even the worst out of them all is still the "Man" on the streets.

Primo Carnera.
As soon as the mob lost interest in him he become little more than a punching bag.
That is true. The guy just couldn't fight. He was a terrible heavyweight is a bad era for the division, even compared to now.
My choices are Fitzsimmons or Willard. To all the people chosing Primo Carnera, you have to remember the man was controlled by the mafia. He had to take a dive in certain fights or his life was on the line. In fights that did not involve the mafia, he battered his competition in brutal fashion. Carnera is one man we will never know just how good he was.
rumor has it dempsey cheated.
i've seen the video where they show like a piece of metal falling out of his glove.
Willard went to his grave believing he had been cheated out of his title.
But I'd say that Willard being 37 years old and having not fought for 3 years was the real reason he lost so badly to Jack Dempsey.
Dempsey did admit to being afraid of Willard because of his size and how he had killed a man in a boxing match. Despite that Dempsey and his managers had made a bet that Dempsey would KO Willard in one.
Leon Spinks
Buster Douglas
Jess Willard, mostly known for the beating he took against Jack Dempsey.
