    Was he the one who pretended to be unconscious when Terry Norris hit him after the bell rang? If so, he was the worst world champion.

    Probably Charlie Zelenoff and the UBF title.

    Leon Spinks. He got a split decision against an aged ali, loses the rematch, and then went on to get repeatedly KO'd by a string of nobodies (and the occasional somebody). Total bust.

    I see a total disrespect of the UBF belt on this thread.

    Spinks was far better than his record would tell you. He was super talented, a cocaine addiction and poor chin made him lose to inferior fighters.
