Who is the best HW "One Hitter Quitter" since 1952?

[TheIronMike]

Best Boxing ability of Lineal HW Champions who've lost their titles in their first title defense? We'll also include non-lineal champion Andy Ruiz due to the disaster that the HW division is in right now.


Ingemar Johansson
Leon Spinks
James Douglas
Michael Moorer
Shannon Briggs
Hasim Rahman
Andy Ruiz Jr.


my order is

1. Michael Moorer - Best Win: Undefeated Francois Botha
2. Ingemar Johansson - Best Win: Undefeated Eddie Machen
3. James Douglas - Best Win: Oliver McCall
4. Hasim Rahman - Best Win: Corrie Sanders
5. Shannon Briggs - Best Win:Siarhei Liakhovich
6. Andy Ruiz Jr - Best Win: Luiz Ortiz
7. Leon Spinks - Best Win: Alfredo Evangelista

*EDIT: Removed Arnold Cream, forgot about his follow up defense against Ezzard

Dude, Michael Moorer doesn't belong on this list.

He's a 3x HW champion & one of the best LHWs of the last 30 years.

Those other dudes were mostly lucky.

And Moorer's best win is Holyfield

He only captured the Lineal HW title once, I only made an exception for Andy Ruiz. I'm only concerned about his HW campaign
