I think this one is pretty simple but there may be a few who don't know...Primo Carnera.

John Ruiz is by far the worst ever! With his crying and complaining and his refusal to actually fight! You can say a lot of former champs who lost the title right away but you have to go with Ruiz for the way him and his trainer carry themselves! -
I agree with Vanda....only because John Ruiz has NEVER been the heavyweight champ.
If you care about the sport, you will never acknowledge Ruiz as a champ, no matter what bogus BELT he has.Comment

Primo Carnera is vastly under-rated.....usually by young people who rely solely on second-hand opinion. They think that "mob connections" equals zero talent. Carnera was the prototype for today's big, big men and had pretty good skills. He also had heart for days as his fight with Max Baer demonstrates. How many of today's fighters would keep getting up to continue in the face of such an onslaught? (even if they were allowed to continue)
Not many! He was a decent man as well who did a lot of work for various charities.
My vote for worst ever?

He had held a belt might not be recognized but that is champ, de la hoya and sturm held wbo which carries next to none on the credibility charts...Butterbean held the IBA title......
Not recognized but still champ none the less.....
However maybe I shouldnt have opened that can of worms because then we could list all of the regional and state titles....
But Butterbean is a household name so he gets my nod.Comment
