        Let me guess though, AJ does and it’s Wlad?


        Also, Tyson facing the lineal heavyweight champion and beating him in 2 minutes was a huge deal at the time.
        AJ doesn't have 1 either but he isn't a great boxer

            Ward beat Kovalev twice when he was the 175 boogeyman, that's not a legacy win?

              Oscar De La Hoya to a certain extent, had some great wins against Whitaker, JCC, Vargas, Quartey. But he arguably lost all of his legacy defining fights; Trinidad, Mosley x2, Hopkins and Mayweather.

                I somewhat agree with the first two, although Tyson’s win over Spinks was arguably a career defining win.

                Do you seriously not consider Fury’s win over Klitschko a legacy defining fight?
                Fury was a 7/2 underdog facing a the 10 year undefeated lineal champion in his own backyard.

                  As I have previously stated and will once again...everybody has an opinion. If you believe ward won the first fight great. If you believe he fairly won the second...great. I believe neither...therefore i dont consider them to be legacy defining.
