Most inept world title challenges you have ever seen?

"Iron Man" Jack Callahan against Matthew Hilton for the 154lb title. Callahan gave it the old college try, but....

 

Henry Akinwade "challenging" for Lennox Lewis' WBC belt. It is completely rubbish, and I reckon could amuse you.

 

Charles Martin.

 

Joshua Clottey I actually liked him as fighter but he didn't even try vs Manny Pacquiao, just hid behind his high guard all night without throwing punches. Pacquiao was so bored at one point he comically punched Clottey with both hands at the sametime.

David Haye put up disappointing performance vs Wladimir Klitschko especially after all that talk, and then had the audacity to blame it on his toe when infact he was running all night. There was nothing wrong with his feet it was hands due to not throwing punches was the problem.

 

Duran vs Joppy. Duran had no business being in that fight. He was way way past his prime and could have gotten seriously hurt.

 

I thought Roberto was just warming to the task.

 

Jim Braddock challenging for Tommy Loughran’s title. Most amateur fighters look more skilled.

 

I'll just do some of the more famous inept heavyweight challengers, since the lighter divisions and women's boxing have so many inept challengers practically every week that there are far too many to mention or even keep track of.

Among the heavyweights, Dave "Ziggy" Zyglewicz, Terry Daniels, Jean Pierre Coopman, Freddie Beshore, Jack Roper, Carl Davis Drummond, Owen "What the Heck" Beck, Tom McNeeley ... all spring to mind.

 

Maybe warming up to CTE but not beating Joppy at 47 years old.

 

NY City Cop Richard Frazier who challenged Roy Jones for his 175 belts has to be up there.

I think it was this fight where Larry Merchant said after the fight was over "We just showed you garbage".

 

Terry Norris vs Luis Santana "trilogy"

 

Definitely Scott Frank smdh.

 

Mike Lee fought Caleb Plant for the title. The promoters loved his 21-0 record and then the fight started. I was stunned with the fact that Lee didn’t even know how to hold his hands. Plant took him out of his misery in 3 rounds and Lee never fought again. Whoever gave him that advice was definitely looking out for him
