    Paper Champions

    I hear the term alot on this site about how fighters are only paper champions. Would anybody like to fill me in on what qualifies one to be a paper champion and then maybe identify a few for me. I read that one believed that Foreman and Liston were only paper champions. I am unable to comprehend the logic. Help me out here guys.........Rockin'

      Soon enough "MikeHunt" will enter, and list every fighter who has ever lived, and somehow explain how they are paper champions.

        A paper champion would be a guy like Vivian Harris. Although Vivian is a very good fighter in his own right he is not a champion just because he has a belt.

        There is only one champion at 140 and thats Tszyu everyone should know that.


        also take a look at a guy like Macelino Masoe acording to the WBA he is champion at 160, but we all know Bernard is the only real champion.

          The only guy that I can think of that was truely a paper champion was Primo Carnera. That guy was brought to the u.s by the mob, then paraded around as a boxing giant when the guy couldnt even really fight yet. Without the help of the press and the mob Carnera would have been little if anything in the heavyweight division. He is truely a fabricated champion, he learned to fight a bit in his time but nothing of the calibure that true champions are...........Rockin'

            Someone who claims to be the the champ (he has a belt or belts) yet he never beat the champ.

                If i exclude the word 'paper champion' from my statement would you feel better? It won't change my opinion, Liston and Foreman were/are overrated and neither gave Ali a tough fight.

                    I think Ali is over rated and lennox lewis would own his ass.
