  • worst heavyweight champion of all time

    Who do you think was the worst world heavyweight champion of all time.
    For me this is the shortlist
    ingemar johnson
    leon spinks
    who else would you say was the worst and is there anyone else that comes to mind.

      Marvin Hart
      Jim Braddock
      Leon Spinks

      Briggs & Rahman (linear).

      Most of the titlists post-1980's if they count.

      I believe Spinks lost his teeth when he was headbutted in sparring.

          Worst on a P4P basis, or worst in a head to head sense against all other legit title holders?

          Ruiz is pretty bad.

          Leon Spinks is hard to top.

              Ingemar Johansson wasn't to bad imo he was one dimensional but he had a decent resume. Guys like Leon Spinks, Micheal Bent, Bruce Seldon and Valuev were worse.

                Agreed. Johansson was sensational for a while, having KO'd the champion Patterson and the number 1 contender Eddie Machen effortlessly. He had also beaten all the best British heavyweights Henry Cooper, Joe Erskine, Joe Bygraves.

                    Spinks is a good call.. Who was the guy Briggs beat? Think his name was Sergei Lackovich or something, he looked pretty poor to.. Only saw the fight against Briggs though..
