Originally posted by ColWallace View PostI think lately the most disappointing - not the worst - has to be Jermaine Taylor. I respect Taylor but his middleweight reign underwhelmed big time.
He won a vacant title and defended it 10 times. Out of those 10 defenses Edison Miranda was by far the best opponent he faced. That really puts into perspective how awful his opposition was and how a 10 defense champ could get beaten so badly 4 times once he stepped up to world class.

But anyways, Peterson is a really good boxer and I have seen a lot worse world champions than him.

Lamont Peterson represents a few things wrong with the sport of boxing. 1) The cheating involved, to win his belt he juiced up, the WBA made the correct decision in stripping him of his title, but the IBF dropped the ball by allowing him to continue serving as a champion. 2) Being champ whilst losing to Mathysse represents the politics that plague the sport, the moment it became clear that the additional pound was added to prevent putting the title on the line, the IBF should have stripped him of his title.

Alex Arthur gets my vote, but there have been some pretty bad ones. As far as Heavyweight's go...Buster Douglas had a pretty bad 'reign'. Beats Tyson, who trained mainly on a diet of geisha girls and *******, then turns up some months later only to do an impression of Jabba the Hut on a valium overdose against Holyfield.
