Which champion faced the Worst opposition?

It's a boring one, something similar gets posted every few weeks.

Zsolst Erdei would win if he was on the list etc.

 

Joe

 

Good choice. You may want to add DM to that list too. His competition was fairly average..

 

The Pride Of Wales

 

Try Artur Grigorian then and Acelino Freitas. Freitas was definitly world class but holding the WBO is farcical. Joe Calzaghes mandatory once was a chap called Freeman Barr. Barr was so monumentally **** that even Frank Warren wouldnt allow Joe to fight him. How on earth he ever became a mandatory il never know.

 

:think Not entirely sure what your point is. One thing i do know is historically the WBO champs have normally been the worst of the bunch with the most suspicious defenses. Many WBO champs have had lengthy reigns against complete nobodies.

 

Wouldnt worry about that, those 2 wouldnt recieve a lot of votes anyway, 2 warriors.

Now... I havent voted or even checked the poll results but IM 99% sure Calzaghe will be leading... will I be right or wrong ?
Im off to find out.

:good

 

Yep, Calzaghe was leading.

I actually voted for Joe myself... I dont think his comp is anywhere near as bad as its made out to be but everyone on that list has real good names on their record, all easy HOF stuff, I think of all those guys Calzaghe maybe faced the worst comp.

Ps. yet another poll made without public viewing, this is getting out of hand now, nobody is gonna believe I voted for Calzaghe.

 

Grigorian was WBO champ for about 8 years and must have made near enough 20 defences, which is why it winds me up a bit when people make such a big deal about Calzaghe's WBO reign.

 

Valero or Linares.

 

The problem is Grigorian fought NOBODY. How can you hold a belt that long and fight nobody? When he finally did fight a live body - Freitas he got his ass handed to him. Joe's resume was hardly dissimilar for the period after the Eubank bout when again he nardly fought anyone of any note.

 

Sven Ottke perhaps?
