If 4 belts existed since the time of John L Sullivan, who would be the worst HW fighter in history to hold one?
Given the shambolic champions we've had since we've had 4 titles and how easy it is to fight cans, stay undefeated and pay the sanctioning fees for a title shot, this question is virtually impossible to answer as it could quite possibly be anyone. That said I'm going of the evidence available, as in the champions who picked up alphabet titles. Two way split between Martin (for skills) and John Ruiz (for entertainment)
Richard Dunn! Just think if by some freak accident Dunn actually beat the champion of some obscure crap alphabet title, so Dunn could call himself a heavyweight champion of the world!!
I think you'd be hard pressed to find one worse than Michael Bentt, even if we let history go through it's course with the alphabet belts
I remember him putting up a better fight against Hide outside the ring than he did in the ring where he got badly Koed and lost his title.
Yes, in fact Chris Arreola was so bad that .... he never actually won an heavy weight title belt despite having 3 attempts at trying. Maybe like Frank Bruno, he'll succeed on his fourth attempt?
There’s no bottom. Who knows what kind of sorry 165-lb weaklings might have been heavyweight beltholders in the 1890s with the right connections to the right unscrupulous promoters.
No way. At the very least, we're probably talking about heavyweight beltholders like Gunner Moir and Bill Squires. But even that's a bit optimistic.
With four belts many of the terrible 'Great white hopes' would have had a chance of holding something. Arguably a Billy Wells may have got hold of a belt...
Galento definitely holds a strap in these circumstances. You could even have a Freddie Mills getting one of the four.
