    I like this pick. You seen The Potter fight? Not nessesarilly career defining, but it sums up what Williams was all about

    Old Tyson nearly had Williams out of there in the 1st round, Williams was just right guy at the right place

    Joe Louis vs Jersey Joe Walcott, Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York, USA - Louis won the rematch in a 11th round KO against a man who had him down in the third and in the first fight was clearly robbed of a decision after knocking down Louis twice, Louis left Madison Square Garden before the split decision was announced in his favour. Of course, he announced his retirement after that Walcott fight but came back and he would go to lose his next fight with Ezzard Charles after fifteen rounds and by points in the Yankee Stadium. He dominated the scene from 1937 til 1949, when he faced Billy Conn in the Polo Grounds in NYC, he was defending the title for the 18th time and the rematch against the light-heavie was in 1946 after the 2nd World War and in 1947 he was having that fight with Jersey Joe in MSG and the one which I call his most defining fight against the same Jersey Joe in the Yankee St. in 1948.

    I am not saying you are wrong as at the time lacy was favoured by many but calzaghe's later win against Hopkins is also worth consideration
