The Worst Champions in History

Who are you disputing on that list? Fury beat Wlad. Paulie has a pretty good resume and some decent performances. Algieri beat Provo and had a very close fight with Khan. None of these guys are anywhere close to being as bad as Wilder ,let alone Martin.

Some of the guys you named beat legit opposition so can you explain that? Who are you disputing on that list?

To name a few... Victor Ortiz Carlos Baldomir Robert Guerrero Chris Algieri Jeff Horn Tyson Fury Paulie Malignaggi Andre Berto Donny LaLonde Arturo Gatti Sakio Bika Some of the guys you named beat legit opposition so can you explain that?

WBC title you mean, but yes It was a bad championship fight, though you can't call either Manny or Marg one of the worst champions in history. Manny instantly vacated so I had no issues with him, only the WBC. Yes, WBC, my bad. Thanks for that. The WBC and Bob deserve most of the criticism for that garbage.

Manny v Margs for the WBO JMW title was the worst IMO and I have said this numerous times. You have 1 man that never fought above 147 fighting a guy that was 1-1-1 above 147 at a CW of 151 for the 154lb title. Charles Martin and John Ruiz are up there as well.

Deontay wilder Kell brook Paulie malignaggi Charles Martin Billy Joe Saunders Jeff Horn I agree 100% with the bolded.

Kell Brook was pretty bad.

Look, I think Liam is a decent enough fighter but he should never be above domestic level.

Poor Liam Smith. He's a decent, continental-level kid and doesn't deserve a mention in a thread like this. Charles Martin is the obvious recent example. Guy wouldn't have beaten Fraudley Harrison.

Charles Martin for multi belt era. 1 belt era Willard? Carnera? Maybe there are worse in the lower divisions but those are obviously the famous ones from the HW's Carnera actually fought through some contenders to get the title. Yeah WIllard was lucky to beat the corpse of an ageing fighter. Luis Santana. I believe he beat and defended against Terry Norris via 2 DQ victory's in a row before Norris legally beat him. STill not worse than Martin who couldn't even get a world level win lol

Carlos Baldomir. At leats got a win over Judah. valdemir pereira. won vacant ibf featherweight title from phaphrakorb rakkiatgym, then lost it by DQ to eric aiken a couple fights later. aiken was also a crap champion who went on to lose all of his fights after winning that title. LOL I came across him while researching. Adrien Broner....is the worst 4 division champion I can think of... not exactly an answer to your question but Broner being a 4 division champion is indicative of how much of a joke boxing is with its divisions and multiple sanctioning bodies/belts. I agree. Broner and interim king Guerrero made a mockery of being multi weight champions. One need look no further than Sonny Boy Jaro for the worst champion in recent history. He and Charles Martin can have it out for worst of the worst. Sonny Boy aint nowhere near being the worst champion ever and has a pretty healthy resume.

John Ruiz probably.

Carlos Baldomir won the Lineal Welterweight title at 34 years old with a record of 42-9-6. He only won it because Zab Judah was absolutely garbage. He went on to defend it against a shot Arturo Gatti before losing it in a shutout to Floyd Mayweather Jr. He ruined plans of Floyd-Zab happening in Spring 2006 for all of the belts and the Lineal title. For 10 months a man who'd never previously been ranked in the top 30 of the division was the Welterweight champion.

John Ruiz gets my number one spot. I could put his fights on to fall asleep at night.

Yeah Charles Martin is pretty low on the scale Tyson Fury may be fat, crazy and on drugs but he still had a clean win over the recognized champ in the division.

Tyson Fury had so much potential, to become some sort of cult hero! (But unfortunately in my opinion his team around him failed to keep him grounded during the aftermath of his world championship winning fight! His uncle should of known that by how unhinge he is? There was always a potential that the pressure of being champion could destroy him!).

Luis Santana. I believe he beat and defended against Terry Norris via 2 DQ victory's in a row before Norris legally beat him. Best choice in here by far. Especially since Santana clearly faked his way to a DQ victory.

Tyson Fury because he "coulda' had class" but snorted half of peru instead
