    I tend to look at what fighters have done at a weight. I think at MW it was possibly K Holmes, but he has some better wins at LHW.
    Tarver is the win that I would possibly call his best win.
    Tarver
    Wright
    Pavlik

    Reading your post again stating legacy/resume/atg standing

    Legacy, maybe the Tarver win for his LHW win going up 2 weights or the Cloud win for oldest fighter to win a world title

    Resume, tough one as I cant recall Hopkins beating a big top fighter at a weight where they havent been fighters coming up in weight, but I would possibly go for Tarver again as Tarver was the LHW champ and had avenged his loss to Johnson and had beaten Jones

    ATG standing, tough one again but I think that may just be an accumulation of an outstanding career with several good wins and what he has done since being a LHW to go with his MW reign

    Pavlik win gets criminally underrated. Guy only lost to Martinez and Hopkins I believe. He smashed Taylor (who beat Bhop twice) twice then Hopkins came in and destroyed Pavlik.

    I would say:
    1) Tarver
    2) Pavlik
    3) Trinidad
