    For Welter weight Adian Broner
    Jr Middle Ishe Smith those are the only 2 I can think of. Don't get me wrong Broner wasn't a paper Champ at 135 but Everyone knows almost every top 10 Opponent other than Paulie would knock this chump out except feather fist Bradley who would win in 12

      Kovalev. Cleverly didnt beat Brahmer for his belt. This would also mena Bellew is pretty overrated as well.

          Depends on what you mean by "paper champion". If there being a clear no. 1 guy in a division makes every other title holder there a paper champion, there are many, but that would make Carl Froch a "paper champion", which really doesn't feel right.

          If "paper champion" means someone who won and defended his belt against clearly below world title level opposition, I nominate Miguel Vazquez.

            All the titleholders that won't fight GGG (I'm look at you, Europe).

            Also, Bika.

                Some ridiculous calls here, Martinez? Barker?

                There are more than a few legit paper champs though, Smith at 154, Borner at 147, possibly even Bradley for his BS win over Pacquiao.

                Pov at heavy should be the clear favourite though. The guy loves beating up on pensioners but he's about to get a real awakening soon.

                    Povetkin. Wlad won the WBA belt, so the WBA just made a new one. Total nonsense.

                      I refuse to call anyone a champion that hasn't AT LEAST beaten the #1 or even the #2 guy in the division.

                      So my list will go on for pages and pages.
