As the title says, it can be any 'world' title in any weight division.
Charles Martin has to be one of the worst, won his vacant title due to an injury and got dropped and basically quit in his first defense.
opinions?
Charles Martin. They guy had no chops at the top level at all. None. If you dig deep enough you'll probably find some others but he really stands out. Arguably the worst heavyweight 'champion' ever.
Erik Aiken. The guy Robert Guerrero beat to win his first world title at super featherweight. A Washington D.C. club fighter who won the IBF title by diqualification against a modest brazilian boxer, and then went on to lose all his fights after that.
I don't know if he's the weakest world champion after 2000, but he deserves at least a mention.

I can't think of anyone worse than your choice. Martin has to be the one.
Charles Martin has to be a contender.
Was Algieri an actual champ? He would be another.
he beat provodnikov, who went life and death with a very good fighter in tim bradley.
charles martin takes the cake on this one. he was also a HW, so he made a lot of money to stand there while euro broke his legs, and joshua popped him.
Carlos Maussa the guy had horrible boxing skills, i even remember some commentator laughing in one of his fights because he looked childish the way he swings his punches.
But the guy has punch
Stuart Hall and Jamie McDonnell come to mind, both domestic level British fighters.
McDonnell got a gift in his last fight and two gifts against Tomoki Kameda shortly before that, the second of which was disgraceful. He did beat Stuart Hall though.
Charles Martin, but HW boxing has a lot of variables in it that make for people being able to snag wins cuz that HW punch is a killer. Yet i might have to say Carlos Baldomir. Zab Judah is such a headcase and waste of perfectly great talent.
Definetely Jorge Linares
The guy got knocked out in the first 2 rounds by 2 cab drivers
just awful
Really? DEFINITELY Linares? Even if you had him toward the top of this list, which is ridiculous on it's own merit, wouldn't he still be a better champ than Crolla who he just schooled twice and was also a champ?
Valuev was pretty bad. He got the title shot via gift decision against Larry Donald and won the title from Ruiz via another gift decision. He arguably lost both fights 8-4.
Holyfield beat him when he was like 50 as well...
