The Ten Worst Fighters Of All Time...

John Henry The Machine · Post by **John Henry The Machine** » 20 Nov 2002, 14:11

Pure and simple:

Bruce ''The Mouse'' Strauss (100% Tomato Can)
Charles Atlas
Paul Anderson (Strongest man in the world, but weak in the ring)
Everett "Big Foot" Martin
Floyd "Jumbo" Cummings
Butterbean Eric Esch (great KO percentage...but they're all bums!)
Peter McNeely (It's in his family's bloodline to lose to great competition)
Neon Leon Spinks (After fighting a faded Ali he lost momentum)
Alfredo Evangelista (Who? Plz U dont wanna know who this guy is!)
KingFish Levinski (fought alotta greats but always fell short)

yes becuase bigfoot martin and jumbo cummings would get destroyed by every heavyweight that has ever laced on a pair of gloves.

you realy dont have a clue about anything regarding boxing mate, i have realised that from reading several of your posts.

No one on that list is anywhere near one of the worst fighters of all-time. The worst fighters of all time, you have probably never heard of.

Bigfoot Martine went the distance with some great fighters, how can he be one of the worst?
Cummings did the same as well?
Just because a fighter has numerous losses does not make him terrible.
The worst boxers of all time are probalbt 0-1 or 0-2 because they were so terrible they never fought again

I've never saw this guy fight, but Eric Crumble is 0-29-0-0, all losses by 1st, or 2nd round knockout. What's the saying...if the name fits?

I disagree with your list totally. Bigfoot Martin was a decent journeyman and some guys have losing records but have done well against tough competition.

The only one in your list I agree with is Butterbean who is fighting not so toughmen, is a sham and a disgrace to boxing. Add to the list Mark Gastineau who was pathetic and most of his fights were "very fixed." He might have been a good football player, but in boxing he could not lick a stamp.

Also check out Jerry Strickland, Frankie Hines, Tony Torres and a few others of that sort...

Terry Lee Kidd a heavyweight who lost most of his fights by first round knockout including one to Gerry Cooney
also the immortal Simmie Black who fought and lost to just about everybody on the southern circut

Apparently Eric Crumble is THE lowest rated fighter in the BoxRec database.

Surely Joe Grim should be on this list?

barry · Post by **barry** » 26 Nov 2002, 01:53

The myth that Grim could not fight a lick is just that....myth. Joe Grim was not as helpless a fighter as is led to believe, and although he certainly lacked technique and skill, he could still swing his arms. In fact counting the ND-W that he was credited with, Grim won 40 (including 15 knockouts). Sure, he lost 100+ bouts, but most were against the very best that the era had to offer. His meal ticket was his ability to take punishment, which is what the people paid to see and it was very rare that he did not produce.

dont forget Axel Schulz

enrique · Post by **enrique** » 27 Nov 2002, 10:04

Bull. Axel is no hall of famer, but he's not top ten worst. Look up Jerry Strickland, Tony Torres, Joey Maye, Frankie Himes, Terry Kidd and others who lost dozens of fights at four and six round level...

Tomato-Can · Post by **Tomato-Can** » 27 Nov 2002, 11:29

Based on their records, the ten worst fighters of all time are

10. Larry Givens
9. James Wilder
8. Jordan Keepers
7. Tommy Jeans
6. Imrich Parlagi
5. Robert Woods
4. Jerome Hill
3. Ed Strickland
2. Carlos Rocha Tomar

And the worst fighter of all time is (drumroll please)

1. Eric (let's get ready to) Crumble)

Dishonorable mention goes to...

Jerry Strickland
Frankie Hines
Reggie Strickland
Don Penelton
Simmie Black

Don't forget Slovakians Anton Glofak and Julius Horvath. Horvath actually had a lower rating than Crumble before he quit.

barry · Post by **barry** » 27 Nov 2002, 22:36

Or another Slovakian Imrich Parlagi.

barry · Post by **barry** » 27 Nov 2002, 22:42

Sorry Tomato...you already had Imrich Parlagi listed.
