A greatest Champion Beating one Of the Worst?

Holyfield vs Rickey parkey

 

It is, but Braddock clearly didn't embarrass himself.

 

Hard to beat Norris vs Santana …it was almost comical

 

??

 

Tongue n cheek referring to the current Welterweight situation.

 

Kostya Tszyu vs Jake Rodriguez.

Looked a mismatch on paper and delivered a mismatch in spades despite Jake showing admirable ticker.

 

Lennox Lewis when he beat "vacant" to become the WBC champion in 1993.

 

Marvin didn’t hold title?

 

Spinks-Joshua II and Braddock-Louis were the equivalents of Duran taking a title from Kambosos.

 

No, man but before Holmes many thought he would have had a career like his father. If you read some newspapers of those times you will notice how he was highly overrated so that many begun to call him champ.

If i had to stay strictly on the thread I would answer Lewis v Rahman or Douglas v Holyfield or Hide v Bentt even If Hide was not a great champion at all.

 

Others said it, but certainly Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard. Braddock while not a great HW champion, was a fine boxer, who was skilled enough to be a top LH, and pull off wins against the top contenders before beating a clowning Baer, so I can't rank him among the worst. Johnson V. Burns even more so, Burns while a small man who appeared quite hittable, defended his title 13 times some against the top boxers of his day, all within a short period of time. Of course, the much larger stronger man who was a master of grappling would destroy him,

 

Ali vs. Spinks in the rematch. Also, Duran-Moore.
