Now this is different. A contest of who is the more pathetic.

Krieg. A sideshow to Mihawk. Absolutley dominated by Luffy. Then gets his ass kicked by his own second in command, who he'd poisoned earlier.
Dude lost three fights and an entire fleet of ships in one short arc. After begging for food and double crossing the shefs that took pity on him, and then double crossing his own crew. And he didn't believe in his own strength, just weapons.
Guy sucked in every way possible.
No dignity.
No sense of honor.
No good design.
No cool or successful attacks.
No badass subordinates.
No great speeches.
Nothing but delusions of grandeur.
Yeesh, you didn't even have to edit those pages into cute 'campaign' posters or anything. The canon says enough.
I agree with every single one of these points. Especially the part where he begs the chefs for food, then turns on them. WTF. If you're determined to be an asshole, don't be all begging for food and "poor poor me" and shit when you're down on your luck. The fact that Gin, his subordinate, was more interesting, likeable and made more of an impression is freaking sad.
Then there's Absalom who is responsible for the WORST fight in OP history. Though you can't really argue on him being a near-rapist considering he was too shy to even kiss Nami while she was unconscious. But his purpose in Thriller Bark was exclusively to make Sanji look good and get curb stomped, and that's plenty bad.
On the other hand Absalom does have a few redeeming qualities, like his more comical moments and loyalty to Moria. Watching his interactions with Perona and Hogback are at least amusing while watching Krieg scream at Gin and his crew was like witnessing an abusive husband going apeshit on a battered wife and children after a night of hard drinking. The only thing he has going for him are weapons, everything about the man sucks.
So yeah, voting for Pervsalom. But the guy who mentioned that whoever wins is just going to get destroyed next round anyways is very right.
