I think the worst champion of all time is Luis Santana he had a horrible record coming into his fight with Terry Norris and he won his 2 fights against against him by DSQ while losing. In the 3rd fight he got his @$$ whooped in the 2nd round. I think he is easily the worst champion ever.
In recent times maybe Carlos Maussa. I think current WBA light Welterweight title holder Gavin Rees will be lucky to make one defense of that title.
Mayorga defeated world titlists/champs like Lewis and Forrest via legitimate TKOs. Santana won his belt by doing an acting job, and retained it by doing another acting job.
Jonny ****ing Nelson, dont give a **** how long he held his belt, he was a horrendous "champion" Gavin Rees Carlos Mausa Mzonke Fana Eric Aitken I could go on, but I wont
joey gamache why is every one saying rees? he put on a splendid performance and not that bad a fighter small and underpowered and un tested.......BUT apart from that,what have the romans ever down for us? nah he's a natural feather just got a lucky shot when he was fighting at lightwieght. he should move down with his new status as world champion. i was looking for bad champions and i found this guy http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Human:35832 surprising aint it
he wasnt that bad man he outboxed many a fighter and was a top contender...he wouldnt of got the shot otherwise
Mayorga was a great champion. He would fight ANYONE at ANYTIME, he never ran, and every fight he was in was exciting. He is a fighter...a true warrior...He was a great champion.
