I like the Spinks pick. How about Marvis Frazier? Gerry Cooney. Primo Carnera-you never saw him fight. You've been watching movies again haven't you? It's one of my favorite. He wasn't a boxer anyway. He was an actor put in the ring. Here's another one- Randall "Tex" Cobb.

Marvis and Gerry were never champions. The only Guy I've seen who looked worse boxing than Primo was Jess Willard.
I thought about listing Gerry Cooney but after watching his destruction of Ken Norton I thought better of it.
John Ruiz
Valuev
Buster Douglas
you can pretty much pick any of the recent European guys other than Klitchkos and be accurate.
Not too many guys can reach Valuev's face so that's a major advantage. I liked Buster. He did the unthinkable and ended a career. Tyson was never the same after that fight.
As far as who I actually saw live in my lifetime:
1. Bruce Seldon......all muscle & no refined skills....took a dive against Tyson.....pathetic.
2. Buster Douglas....performance for the ages against Tyson, but was a disgrace against Holyfield.
3. Francois Botha....not a bad HW, but won the IBF belt & right away got stripped for roids.
4. Ruslan Chagaev.....WHO?
5. Oliver McCall....had his moments, but his emotional breakdown in rematch against Lewis was sad.
p.s. WBO champs weren't included.....but Michael Bentt and Siarhei Liakhovich come to mind.
