LIst of HW champions with the most losses to weak/non contenders

By weak I mean those who are not immediate contenders that they shouldn't be fighting, so outside the top five or are in their late 30s or who are journeymen.

So that would be who ? Who has the most losses to fringe fighters?

Obviously not including exhibition fights or post 'retirement from title defences' fights.

 

yeah sorry I think that's what I mean.


lets go so -

1. Wladimir Klitschko 3 losses to weak opponents


I cant actually think of anymore at the moment, but I'll be back when I do.

 

thanks for that. So -

1.Braddock - multiple
2. Schmeling 4
3. Klitschko/Johnson/Carnera/Wills on 3.

 

Whats the problem?

We have a thread for most defences, I just thought it would be nice to havea list for HW champions who lost to weaklings.

but sure thanks for letting everyone know that Wlad is high on the list. NOt sure if its JUST A CONINCIDENCE but theres no ATGs on this list so far. Braddock is a HOFer I guess.

 

..... high on the list yes, well said.

a fill in the dotted line game, eh? cheers.

 

leon spinks, naa he was a fluke, shouldn't have been champ, and his losses as a titlist are to Ali.

Patterson had several but none during his titlist years except to very good opponents, so no.


Johnson, no, not during his titlist years, only as an oldie, I am not putting JJ in for that exact reason, he doesn't fill the questions criteria.

Braddock is the one who has many. The joker in the pack.

And Wlad fits the description well, 3 losses to bare fringe contenders.

 

how would I be baiting when this thread specifically asks for HW champions who lost to weak opponents?

This is a broad category, is it not? WHere does the title mention Klitschko?

 

just making a list.

its you who keeps bringing Wlad specifically into this. Don't put your hero down.

 

yeah I know its difficult isn't it. Idont want to include seasonal champs who hold the title for a few weeks. But surely Weaver isn't just that.
