    What was the career defining victory for some of your ATG fighters?

    Could be either of two ways. a breakout fight, which put a fighter on the map. or a victory which comes to mind, when you think of a certain fighter.

    Azumah Nelson against Salvador Sanchez
    Carlos Palomino vs John H Stracey (not ATG but whatever)
    Joe Frazier vs Muhammad Ali
    Wilfredo Gomez vs Carlos Zarate
    Wilfredo Benetiz vs Roberto Duran
    Vitali Klitschko vs Lennonx Lewis
    Joe Louis vs Max Schemling 2
    Mike Mccallum vs Donald Curry
    George Foreman vs Michael Moorer (most people will say Frazier but to me he was a good matchup for a tremendous fighter and yes deserves his props for the win over Joe. However the way he beat Moorer and the circumstances make it better to me)

    tyson berbick (people think spinks but i have to go with berbick for the demolition of the ko and youngest world champion)

    roberto duran over leonard.

    joe frazier over clay (most important fight of all time and only one where either near their primes)

    ray robinson over turpin 2 (the way how he was told he would have to knock him out or the fight would be stopped and did it even though not in prime it stands out for me)

    joe louis over schmeling.

    riddick bowe over holyfield

    mayweather over de la hoya

    Hearns v Duran

    Chavez v Taylor

    Morales v Pac or Barrera

    Duran had a few but wins over Leonard and Barkley were probably his best.

    Thing is,Old George caught Moorer with a very late lucky punch. I take the Frazier victory as George's biggest defining win. He totally dismantled a sitting champion.

    Riddick Bowe beating Holyfield for the title is a big defining victory - without it Bowe would be waaaay down the list but on this night he is competetive with any heavy in history

    In what way was it lucky? He's been looking for that punch all night and finally landed it. Sure he landed it because of Moorers deficiancies but it was not lucky. It was a picture perfect straight right, not a windmill 'I hope I hit you punch'.
