5 worst heavyweight champions

that was a weird fight. for a guy with such a legendary chin, he tasted bruno's power early and basically accepted coasting to a points loss.

 

Braddock was a very good champion

 

Jeffries, Braddock, Hart, Neon Leon, Burns

 

of the linear/undisputed

corbett (atrocious record)
neon leon
burns
rahman
braddock

 

Corbett!... I overlooked him!

Rahman beat Lewis and Sanders and a host of decent B-level fighters. He wasn't a great champ but he was good enough not to belong on this list.

 

McCall, Leon, Bruno, Seldon...

and throw Dokes in there, as he first won the title in extremely dubious fashion, then even more dubiously drew with the same guy (nobody I know thinks he won that second fight with Weaver), then lost it and looked pretty bad against by-that-time third tier Coetzee. Sucked pretty much all the time after that (and was never all that before).

 

Bruce Seldon
Greg Page
Gerrie Coetzee
John Tate
Herbie Hide
Manuel Charr
Shannon Briggs

 

Bermane Stiverne
Frans Botha
Francesco Damiani
Sergei Lyakhovich
Charles Martin

 

Was Botha a Champion?

 

Insulting - I do not like the "Worst Champions" bit.
Maybe they were not as great as other champions, but let us keep in mind that they were champions and deserves our respect!!

 

Jeffries is arguably one of the best.

I certainly don't see how a dominant champion can be in the argument!

 

No. He failed a drug test for steroids. And there were worse than Stiverne, Damiani and Lyakovich

 

It all depends on who you dominate over....

 

Well not really.

Dominating an era is a fairly select accomplishment, regardless of the strength of the era!

 

Butterbean dominated an era of 4 rounders tbf.
