Leon Spinks was pretty bad, and Buster Douglas.

I voted for Buster Douglas.

Rahman for me!

Bruno certainly wasn't one of the best but he would clear up today!

I voted Ruiz, but I'm a bit bias. I despise the ****.

I voted for DOuglas forgetting about Leon. However, up until he recently won the WBO strap Shannon Briggs was the linear champ to have never won a title. And without the watered down sanctioning bodies Briggs might have never won a strap, and to add that his victory to become linear champ was as tainted as it was, I would say he was the worst champ. That says a lot about from me considering that Briggs is an acquaintance of mine. As for Douglas and Spinks, I say Spinks because Spinks beat a ghost who fought off of his legend and Douglas beat a prime and "unbeatable" monster in Tyson. So based on how they got their titles, I say Spinks is the worst on this list and it pains me to say, but I feel Briggs is the worst ever unless he beats Ibragimov. Which I believe he will.

easily Primo Carnerra. The guy was brought up on nothing and sold to the public for his emmence size, nothing had to do with skill for the guy. He could fight abit, but when comparing skill levels of champions through the years I would easily put Carnerra at the bottom of the list.

Leon Spinks could fight, the guy ****in' beat Ali. He was just not the most intelligent when it came to preparation............Rockin'

Great point. I voted for Douglas but Primo Carnerra was probably a better choice. It came out that he we a "mob boxer" and the only reason why he won the title is because of that reason. I think that was pretty well known about him back then.

Seldon wasn't THE Champion but he gets my vote. He didn't win, or lose the title like a real champion. And atleast the others are famous.
