Fighters who hold their current status almost entirely on single incidents?

rahman, vitali klitschko, corrales, tarver, williams, mcbride, randy turpin, JMM.

Gonna have to tell us the one thing he did, that has kept him in an undeserving spot.

You don't like him ? Fine......but his name doesn't belong, at all, in this topic.

mccall, buster douglas.

That's.....not what the topic question is looking for.

Why was Corrales' fight with Mayweather a big-time fight ?
Because he won a world title, defended it 4x in a year...over very solid opp., & was a prolific puncher.

Why was his first fight with Castillo so anticipated ?
Because he had two excellent fights with Casamayor, one with Freitas...won more titles....& was the best puncher in the sport.

His fight with Castillo is one of the best fights in history.


This guy has done A LOT. He has given a ton to the sport.

Thank you. I don't think you could ever say the Castillo fight made Corrales. If you're a world champion, you've already made it, as Corrales was before the Castillo epic war. Buster Douglas was defined by one fight. He got a ****ing video game deal after the Tyson. Goes to show you how idiotic some rich folks are. "Let's make Buster Douglas Boxing"...

Leon Spinks kinda qualifies. Sure Spinks isn't a legend at all but apart from his one win over Ali his career record is nothing more than club fighter!
