After hearing about his boring close UD I started thinking about some other two time heavyweight champs with no successful defenses and I couldn't. Could some help me out and tell me if there are any other two time heavyweight champs with no successful defenses. Thanks.

Yeah I am not saying he not a bum. Acutually this thread is pointing out how big of a bum his is, bit I do not think here has been another two time heavyweight champ with no successful defenses.Comment

Shannon Briggs?Comment

No I would only consider him a one time heavyweight champ. Unless the IBU means something to some one (he never defended that anyways).Comment

Tim Witherspoon and maybe Michael Morrer not sure about him but i'm almost positive about Witherspoon.Comment

Rahman did make one successful title defense. After Vitali Klitschko canceled a defense against Rahman, Rahman defeated Monte Barrett for the interim WBC title in August of 2005. When Klitschko retired, Rahman became the regular WBC champion and successfully defended the title with a draw against James Toney.
Shannon Briggs can be considered a two-time champion if you consider his win against Geogre Foreman as being for the linear championship. He lost the linear title (the real title) to Lennox Lewis in his next fight.Last edited by Kimble; 06-18-2007, 01:33 AM.Comment

I think Briggs counts. The linear title means just as much as an alphabet belt. I don't think Rahman's draw with Toney was a successful defense though. He didn't successfully defend it, he just didn't lose it. It was a draw.Comment

You know boxing is in bad shape when people are debating if the linear championship 'counts .
