If you could delete a fight from a favorite boxers legacy, which fight would it be?

None.

Every fight is legacy defining and character building regardless of its outcome. What was to be was.

Tyson Fury would not be the man he is without his loss to David Price as an amateur but he left that fight knowing he could better him as a pro without a shred of doubt. His wars against McDermott fighting on nothing but guts and heart both times. His deathmatches with Wilder. Real champions find a way to win or find a way to give everything and more. To get up in round 12 like that is beyond physical and mental ability that's spiritual. Tyson Fury engages warfare of a different astral plane he has ascended. We are mere mortals who can all but gawp in amazement. Yet there are still unbelievers out there and that's where I come into play.

 

Such a shame this thread wasn't created say in may of this year. ;-)

 

Id remove Trinidad from Vargas' resume. He lost his prime in that fight.

 

What goes around comes around. The way showtime and the brits sabotaged Tszyu when he fought Hatton. Tszyu and his handlers can take some of the blame, for being absolutely clueless and agreeing to the terms of that bout but still, it is what it is.

 

Vitali-Lewis is an interesting one. On one hand, Vitalis profile and rep got a boost. On the other hand, he lost a winnable fight for the title against a fellow ATG due to an unlucky cut.
As a fan of his, I reckon I'd wipe that fight from history. Have him get a shot a little later. His fight v Byrd too would be better erased.

 

Even if Fury lost to Usyk which is what you're implying here that's not a loss because Fury will show how to lose like a real man and retire....or how to lose and win the rematch.

 

Nonito Donaire vs Jessie Magdaleno. Tbh, Magdaleno is not of the same caliber of Donaire and I really don't think this fight reflects Donaire's career. I also think it is quite sad that Donaire lost to a lower caliber fighter in one of his best weight classes (122) other than 118.

 

Benn > McClellan

Eubank > Watson

For obvious reasons.

 

Mundine's loss to Garth Wood and a bunch of others at the tail end of his career. I hate seeing any fighter lose to somebody they would've easily beaten in their prime.

 

Fair play to you, my friend ;-).

 

Povetkin vs Klitschko.

 

RJJ/Tarver 2.

 

He’s fighting again in April.
