The worst defeat for a world champion you've ever seen?

Worst defeat as in schooled/beaten or humiliated?

 

Wladimir Klitschko vs Corrie Sanders

 

I think Gatti was a champion when he fought Mayweather. It hardly gets more one sided than that.

 

Ruiz jr 3 weeks notice lumbering over the bodybuilder

Wlad's effort against Fury also. Pathetic. Little bit of movement and range had him useless. Robot.

 

Jeff Lacy. Or do unifications not count for the purpose of this thread?

 

If you count Michael Spinks as stil being a champion when he fought Mike Tyson then that was bad.

Carlos Zarate was champ when he lost to Wilfredo Gomez.

 

If you consider Wladimir a world champion at the time. Which he really wasn't as WBO wasn't a major world title.

 

Mike Tyson getting his ass whooped and schooled by a 42:1 underdog Buster Douglas.

 

Wlad was 40. Joshua vs Ruiz, Haney vs Garcia and Gatti vs Mayweather were worse beatdowns. Don’t think Broner held a title vs Maidana.

 

And it was a borefest where Fury was of course better, but how this is a worst defeat? Only a Fury fanboy could say that.

 

Surely Wilder getting smashed and humiliated twice?

I suppose the first time he at least scored a serious KD but besides that it was all Fury basically.

2nd time around it was a complete mismatch.

 

Definitely up there. Even more embarrassing is that if you google the fight poster, it's just Klitschko on there with his name only, no mention of Sanders at all. Only for him to get starched in the 2nd round lol

 

I thought Wlad was an important champion at that time, Sanders was over the moon with joy in the ring when he knocked out Wlad, jumping and bouncing around with excitement.

 

If Wlad was the champion then Byrd and Vitali were champions before him too, so in that case Lennox was never undisputed.
