Of the 82 guys who were champs name some you thought were very lucky to be champs. My personal list is Martin, Bentt, Hart, Maskaev and Peter. Valuev is in the candidates.
McCall was dreadful, Steward trained McCall to time Lewis`s sloppy right hand which he did, that`s all he knew, he had no boxing skill and was completely out-boxed by Bruno.
Primo carnera ( the Louis fans will respond to this for sure), John ruiz, and i could mention a few guys from the era of jefries but i can imagine the reactions
Hart and Carnera should not even be in the argument. Both f them got to the summit of the division. There was no Whetabix Boxing Council back then. You either beat the guy at the top of the division, or you were a "nearly was!"
I wouldn’t include the fake belt holders...list would be long lol. I’ll stick to Lineal for mine For the record there is no shame in being the worst of the best ever. Hart Braddock Leon Briggs Rahman Not a h2h sense either just more of a what they accomplished in their own eras and title defenses.
Bentt, Martin, Hart, Briggs and Leon Spinks Carnera, Braddock, McCall might not be great, but definitely shouldn't be on this list, imo. Especially Braddock, he's very very underrated.
1. 1980 Ali (lineal). 1978 WBA Ali was pretty bad too. 2. Marvin Hart 3. Corbett 3. Willard 4. Leon Spinks 5. Bentt
