    Boxers who's legacy is built off beating one great fighter...add on

    The only thing worse than a fighter that has a legacy built off beating just one good fighter is one that does so an thinks they are the ****. Over the years i have notice alot of these guys dont really do **** there whole career..beat an elite guy...only to get dismantled and exposed soon after.

    heres my list of fighters...feel free to add on-

    Antonio tarver (guy is complete **** and only is revelant by beating roy jones) Gets owned by hopkins and johnson...soon to be dawson.


    Vernon forrest--beats mosely talks alot of **** only to get destroyed by mayorga and then beat by a sub par fighter in mora

    Hassam Rahman--beats lewis and is on top of the world. Then gets KTFO in a rematch

    Buster Douglas--this guy is ass..no need to futher explain

    anyone who is really honest with themselves knows tarver is an excellent boxer,

    his record is excellent, people dislike him and try to discredit him because of his public attitude and the fact he ended the great roy jones,

        how many pro fights you got? rahman and douglas both overachieved in their wins, but neither are "ass."

        forrest and tarver are/were great talents. and you're greatly underrating mora's ability.

            Mayorga's been in the spotlight for a few years but if you ask me, his caraeer is built off beating Forrest.

              ok ....who has douglas and rahman beaten. Please tell me. They will be only be remembered for beating lennox and tyson. If you say any different your lying to yourself.

                Max Schmeling. The guy is in the HOF based almost purely off of his KO of a young, undefeated Joe Louis, even though Louis demolished him in the rematch. Schmeling did also have a win over an old Jack Sharkey, but he was beaten in the rematch and then KOd by Max Baer.

                  Ricky Hatton is still milking his win over Kostya Tszyu. I don't even consider him to have a true "legacy"

                    Schmeling was a ****.
