Not sure on Euro or Commonwealth. Vladimir Virchis isn't great.
But for British... I would say Mike Deveney and Jamie McKeever are pretty high.

If i were to say World Title and in the last 10-15 years i think i may go with Luis Santana he twice got a DQ win agaisnt Terry Norris.

Alex Moon was pretty shocking when he won a Commonwealth title
Christian Sanavia was pretty piss poor and he won a World title
And I would go with Jamie McKeever in my lifetime at British level

Mausa on the world scene
not only how shit he is but the way he won it
harris looked like he had done zero training

Deveney and Sugar Gibiliru were worse than McKeever, were they not?

I did consider Alex Moon, but who did Alex Moon win the title from. There has got to be some poor African fighter who a fighter such as Moon beat for the title.
Isaac Ward might be worth a mention.
I'd agree with Maussa over Sarnavia...... Sarnavia is a decent EBU operator.

If anything Harris looked like he had done TOO MUCH training - wasnt he well under the 10st limit, which makes me think he was badly weight drained/ over trained..

Sugar Gibiliru's record looks worse than McKeever's but I would rate him as a better fighter/champ

Bit baffled here, your thread title says "WORST WORLD CHAMPION" then you ask for the opinion on the above

If I remember correctly he beat Charles Shepard for the title so maybe in being harsh, but he always seemed so shite! I was delighted when 'pisshead' Pithie dethroned him..
I take Maussa over Sanavia, Maussa was defensively able, rocks back from punches really well...Sanavia beat Beyer who was on his last legs for at least 4 years

Maussa is shit full stop
he is just so 'Novicey' these professionals dont know what the fornicate is going on, they are used to boxed decent lads then this chump turns up
when i boxed (amatuer) id have more problems sometimes with guys who had never ever laced a glove than a national champ in sparring cause you cant judge or read them
thats how Maussa gets by, im sure !

If you count the IBO as a world title then Charles Shepherd was pretty poor quality.

by Podmore_Birmingham
If you count the WBF - Rob Calloway or Richel Hersisia.
Tom Podmore.

You're only saying Hersisia cos Audley beat him! Audley is like PBF, they are only bad after he beats them!

Geniune world champions.
Michael Bent, Paul Silky Jones, Paul Weir, Francisco Damiani, Shannon Briggs, Eric Aiken, Luis Santana
