    Who is the worst HW title challanger you guys can think of.

    My vote goes to Peter Okello. I will never understand why in the world this big doof ever got a title shot. He was 18-4 coming into the bout with 0 notable wins. His most notable fight was wide UD loss to Samil Sam.

    Audley Harrison, end of thread. A prime Harrison would have been a shocking opponent nevermind a 40 year old Audley.

    Haye won the title so there should be worse challengers than him.

    Can't believe no one's said this but here goes.

    How about most unworthy title challenger ever. This guy apparently got $50 for this fight as well.
    Even if he was talented to have not experienced a pro fight and jump in with a lineal champ isn't the smartest move.

    He was the 1956 Olympic HW Boxing gold medalist. He lasted longer against Patterson (6 rounds) than Harrison lasted against Haye. He had Patterson down in the 2nd.
