Who do you think and why?

Hard to believe the majority of people picked Ruiz. He ****** to watch, but there were far worse champs. Leon Spinks is the worst in my opinion followed closely by Primo Carnera.

I guess people are thinking the question is " Who was the worst Heavyweight Champion to WATCH ever?". My pick is Carnera, who's road to the title was paved with laydowns and who got slaughtered when the mob stopped paying opponents to lay down. My number 2 is the ubiquetous Trevor Berbick: Who that man could actually hold a belt is beyond me.

Of all the guys you named, only 1 truly stands out as a coward.
Bruce Seldon.....

Can't argue that: As talentless as Carnera was at least he wasn't chicken****. Seldon had all the talent in the world and went down and out from a punch that didn't even land.

It's ether Ruiz or Seldon only Seldon had skills but no chin or heart. Ruiz had neither.

Wait..Carnera takes it...WWF **** right there

That was the most cowardly thing I've seen in the ring. Seldon was permanently relegated to peice of **** status in my book, after that.

Buster Douglas.

Winning the Undisputed title and then loosing it in his first defense.
