Holyfield should be an obvious #1.
I'd say DLH #2 since he talked a bunch of blasphemous shit, picked a fight wit a lil guy and got punked into submission.
RJ #3 for the bad loss to Joe C and not fightin back in the 3rd Tarver fight.
i left green k sent you a private mail to tell agree with what your saying money being the prob dont f.... no what DLH is doing in the game his loaded
legacy = acheivements.
Have to agree with you there on some points you raised his no Robinson or Ali or anything near it in fact his only credible wins are Marquez Morales was weight drained & i agree he beat Diaz & lost on a hometown decision im sure Pacquiao will be tested with Hatton & Mayweather then he'll have to prove himself his not taken a flush punch from a 140 fighter yet but will when he fights Hatton then Mayweather if he wins will counter him i believe & his defencive skills will be too much.

ANSWER ME THIS..What do u define as legacy????? what a man did or how the public see's him?? cause for me its how the public see's him..like i said earlier roy was considered literally superman at one time..now people bring up the two K.O. losses and the crapfest wit calzaghe.. thats what i mean by legacy people ALWAYS bring that shit up wit roy..take Manny Pacquiao for instance..Personally i think hes EASILY the most overated boxer in the last 30 yrs...and im so close in callin it of all time..an ass kickin from a past it morales.. use gloves as an excuse for the loss.. so when he got his gloves he was losing IN ALL 3 JUDGES SCORECARDS midway through the fight when erik CLEARLY in WORSE condition then the 1st fight..so manny did what ali did to foreman..won against a tired out gassed fighter..
He then beat a morales that was surrounded by nutritionists and specialists just so erik can make the damn fight..he did a bullshit performance against barrera in the rematch..and beat a diaz that got a HOMETOWN decision over a shot morales..and he got destroyed by marquez twice..now he beats a faded dela hoya who is CLEARLY a shell of his former self..and all of a sudden pacquiao is #3 to Ali and Robinson????????? BUT THAT IS MANNY'S LEGACY.. that is why i chose Roy Jones #1...so..what do u define as legacy?
legacy = acheivements.
youre right about the jones part..seriously his confidence is simply the exact opposite as it once was..his last couple fights i was literally yelling at the screen "why dont u throw a goddamn punch since u havent recieved any damage in this fight so far"..its damn frustrating..if u dont have confidence the LAST thing one should be doin is f***** boxing..
Jones f....... himself up never should have moved back down to LH also DLH only in for money not glory doesn't speak good loud volumes for the sport & Trinidad taking lay offs coming out of retirement not the same fighter sad looking at him fighting RJJ what are my saying sad looking at them bought
I would have said Jones if not for De La Hoya losing to Pacquiao on Saturday. In the third Tarver fight, Roy looked like a complete puss and didn't do jack shit in the Calzaghe fight aside from a fluke knockdown. He's more of an embarrassment every time he steps in the ring, but he's trying to get every penny he can before retiring.
Still, nothing worse than losing to a guy half your size. That's the most embarrassing thing I think I've ever seen. It doesn't matter how good Pacquiao is, he's tiny as **** yet he KO'd 154lb Oscar.
Jones couldnt hurt his lagacy anyways. too much good stuff was already accomplished. He was just trying to add to it.
as for oscar. his legacy is overrated anyways... dudes a fraud
for me its 1.jones,2.holyfield,3.hoya..
Jones to me EASILY gets this one..when u talk about jones now its mostly about his 2 k.o. losses to tarver and johnson, and calzaghe's bullsh*t win..this guy would be rated probably top 3 easily if he retired after ruiz..the guy had a godlike status that ALOT of people on this site ARE JUST NOT AND NEVER WILL BE aware of, the "invincible status he once had..
With Holyfield people know about his acclompishments and wins etc but now in 2008 all we do is talk about how he shouldve retired years ago..we already know his legacy but we just hate the fact that he still boxes really..
Now wit dela hoya EVERYONE now knows that he was literally in the worst shape of his life in this one..and people SHOULD KNOW that pac has been fighting at that weight come fight night since the first morales fight. So it doesnt hurt hoya THAT MUCH....... i suppose.
However if anyone wants to switch Hoya and Holyfield im not gonna argue with that one really..
I believe it was the 3rd Morales fight and he came in at 144.
all have great legacy but...
holyfield needs to retire bad
Hloyfield needed to retire years ago. I cant believe how long the commissions have sanctioned him past his prime, its pretty crazy.
RJJ probably didnt do that much damage with that last fight, after the Tarver-Johnson incidents its hard to damage it much more.
Oscar on the other hand probably hurt his, he will never be able to live down getting KOed by a LW.
