Well, wait. Couldn't Braddock have beaten Leon Spinks and maybe Shannon Briggs?

Braddock fought a Baer who didn't have the will to fight anymore, that's why he won. But he had a huge heart and a decent punch so he has a chance against most people and even if he never beat Baer, he would still of been a good journeyman.

He has a chance against Briggs and Neon Leon, but on average I think Spinks and Briggs would beat Braddock more times out of ten than he would beat them.

Did Braddock have a prime because of the depression?

Carnera was just a fumbling fool.

It's nice to see Brassangel back too.

Thanks.

And yeah, I think that Ruiz was pretty lame.

I'm not arguing the fact that James Buster Douglas fought the fight of his life and i'm not saying its impossible for Prime Tyson to lose i was just pointing out the fact that having sex and drinking and partying aren't the best ways to train for a hw title defense (tyson did those in tokyo)

I think that at that time in their careers, Buster Douglas would have lost against Tyson nine times out of ten, but he did fight the fight of his life when he did beat Tyson, regardless of Tyson's preparation, and regardless of the long count (which i'm surprised hasn't been brought up). The fact of the matter is that Tyson underestimated Douglas and there is no excuse for that, however, Douglas did look terrible against Holyfield, and is a prime example of wasted talent.
I've read through most of this thread and have not seen Frank Bruno's name mentioned!

Linear: the worst has to be shannon briggs, if you count his gifted victory over 48 years old Foreman, if not, Leon Spinks, alphabet champs, seldon comes to my mind.
