Worst world champ above 126lbs

[1lparm]

Has to be the lad that was offer 20 grand to fight JT then won the vacant wba trinket and is now getting fed to Rolly. Is there anyone holding a belt above featherweight worse?

By above you mean any fighters above featherweight or near the weight class? (130, 135 and 140)

Hmm, to be honest I don't know the state of cruiserweight.

But if I have to say which Champion I respect the least it be Jermall who hasn't fought for about two years and struggled immensely with Montiel.

Derevyanchenko was a good win considering he had GGG hurting to the body, but by the time Charlo fought him he was already shot and had a pretty average resume to begin with.

So Derv fought ggg in Oct 2019 but when he fought Charlo (Sept 2020), he’s shot? Less than a year later with no fights in between?

Shot might not be the appropriate term, more like he was a faded fighter in the decline. His athleticism and punching power wasn't the same despite only a year passing by. Derv was already at 35 years old when he faced GGG and went to war with Jacobs prior to that.

I will say this though, he was a complete fighter but had a pretty leaky defense. Could had easily won against GGG if the ref didn't stop him from capitalizing on the body shot and did pretty well considering how battered both were.

I thought he was undersized as well. I think he should have tried 154. He was fun to watch though.

Until Badou Jack beat him, I would have said Makadoodoo.

Agreed, Derevyanchenko could had faired really well, the light middleweight division was stacked during the early 2010s.

I mean there was:
-Paul Williams
-Sergio Martinez
-Antonio Margarito
-Miguel Cotto
-Canelo Alvarez
-Kermit Cintron

Though to be fair he debuted at 29 years old in July 23, 2014.
