You may all hand my head to me on a plate for this, But I think Michael Spinks deserves an honorable mention here. I liked Mike, but he wasn't much of a heavyweight champ.

He caught an aging Holmes at the right time. Defended against Holmes (who as I recall, looked very bad that night), Stefan Tangsted and Gerry Conney - then the 90 or so seconds with the other Mike.

He was not unskilled like some of the "champs" mentioned above, but he had some luck IMO in getting the title and folded against his first real opponent.
