was john ruiz the worst heavyweight champion in recent memory?

[ThirdPartyView]

Especially with the interim/super/diamond champions in numerous divisions.

 

[stephen90]

John Ruiz would be nothing without Don King. He would be a regular on ESPN.

 

[ssx]

Seldon was worse than Ruiz. Ruiz had heart at least.

 

[Prefect]

Moorer, Carnera, Leon Spinks, old foreman, valvuev

I put Moorer there because he was a cruiser with no chin. He could box.

 

[BluntTrauma21]

Charles Martin was pretty terrible. I tried to give him a shot but he proved to be pretty bad.

 

[Jonny Ninja]

Gotta be valuev. He only held the title because he was to Big to hit. Skills wise, worst HW champ by a country fckin mile

 

[Sunfish]

Sorry, why the fuck is someone bumping an 8 year old thread? Charles Martin is the answer.

 

[cuban23]

I have a hard time picturing anyone worse than Charles Martin.

 

[GloryOfIran]

DO we include wba "regular" champs? Interim champs?

 

[nastyleft]

Valuev

 

[Seano]

who is bumping these old threads?

Anyway, Ruiz may have had an ugly style but he won when it mattered often enough and he fought good fighters too.

 

[Sunfish]

Valuev

Valuev knocks Martin out.

Seriously. I’d probably favor David price over Martin.

came in to say this.... his punching technique looked like an ammy with a handful of fights.

 

[Tuaminator]

 

[PivotPunch]

There have been many worse. Charles Martin, Lucas Browne, the fat version of Chagaev that Browne beat and I'm sure I'm missing a few others

 

[CastletonSnob]

Valuev knocks Martin out.

Seriously. I’d probably favor David price over Martin.

I think even current David Haye would beat Martin.

 

[mozfonky]

i still love watching that guy get kayoed.

 

[makedansure]

has to be Charles Martin by far.

 

[Sunfish]

has to be Charles Martin by far.

Well remember people like akinwande held a belt. I said Martin same as you and I’m not going to go back over the details, but because @MC Paul Barman is 83 I think living memory gives scope for looking at.

Ahhh... I still remember the first time they released shampoo in a bottle.
Prior to that you have to make your own with rose petals mixed with fat grease.
