    It seems more weights have an absolute stinker holding a belt than don't.


    WW: Andre Burto a guy who hasn't faced even a top 20 WW


    So who's the worst? Valuev? Cook?
    Berto by far. I'm not sure that he isn't capable of beating a top 20... because anything can happen in boxing but he definately hasn't faced anyone of championship substance... much less an elite. I tend to believe that when he does... he'll get spanked.

          Oscar's mother died and then he won the gold medal at the Olympics. He should of dedicated the fight to his father.

            Valuev, as I said before and as many people agree, is one the worst HW title holders ever. P4P all time, I dont know where he would rank as worst title holder....

            Currently, he is the least qualified holder. Both of the fights that got him the title, getting the win over Donald then beating Ruiz for the belt, were fights that he got gift decisions.

              HW: Valuev (2 best wins are close decisions over Ruiz, has ducked Wlad in 2006 and maybe in late 2008)
              LHW: Dawson (ducked his mandatory to fight faded age 40 Tarver)
              WW: Berto, who hasn't really fought a good welterweight yet.

              Don't know enough about the smallest weights 106-130 but there may be one or two there

              Timothy Bradley is definitely not one of the least qualified, he went to another country and took the title from an established fighter, and now he going to unify with Holt. As well, Froch and Inkin have earned their titles and are not ducking anybody.

                I think Tim is a good fighter but face it Witter is ****e and has always been ****e, if he was still holding the belt i would have just come out and said it:

                Witter is the least deserving and least qualified champion of any weight or era, P4P Valuev smacks him oops upside the head and makes Witter his *****.

                But then i hate Witter like Daggum hates Calzaghe.

                  Dawson? With the way Adamek has been performing, I have no idea how that can be true.

                  Not to mention he got a close (possibly incorrect) decision over Johnson, which is the official decision. At the very least he did well enough against a good fighter to make it so a robbery claim is not 100% valid, because Dawson did have his good moments in the fight.

                  Valuev and Berto are 100% correct though for the reasons you stated. Berto's "championship run" is a ****ing joke.

                      He got Mayweather's vacant WBC belt when he beat Miguel Rodriguez. What a mismatch for a vacant title that was...
