Worst Heavyweight Boxing Champions
The worst world champion in heavyweight boxing history.

James "Buster" Douglas
The man who beat Mike Tyson...then lost one fight later.
James J. Braddock
Cinderella Man didn't prove to be that great of a world champion after he was floored by Joe Louis in his first title defense.
Leon Spinks
"Neon" Leon was rushed to a title shot with an aging Muhammad Ali. Ali was beyond his prime at this point but still held 3 world titles. Spinks won the titles on a split decision, then was stripped of a title for refusing to face Kenny Norton. What champion refuses to face someone? He later lost the other two in his only defense against the aged Muhammad.
Michael Moorer
Michael Moorer found himself the champion after a decision over Evander Holyfield, but was knocked out by a returning George Foreman one fight later. His career never recovered.
Roy Jones Jr.
Roy Jones was an accomplished middleweight and light heavyweight, but his heavyweight title win was less than impressive. He defeated John Ruiz for the title, but never made a single defense.
Shannon Briggs
One win, one loss. That's Briggs' entire title run. His opponent weren't anything to brag about either.
Tommy Burns
Tommy Burns is the shortest champion in heavyweight history, a bad thing? Well, no. His title tenure? Yes. He fought weak unknown opponent and was later beaten down by Jack Johnson.
Bonecrusher Smith
An overall horrid champion. Smith lost majority of his big fights and was destroyed by Mike Tyson. Anything but memorable.
