legacy i'd agree with sulivan, but for me my personal favourite is john the beast mugabi....that guy could bang! I've got his career fights on dvd and he's just taking guys heads off. his fight with hagler is really underrated. tapia was a legend too and fun to watch.
Hands down, John L. Sullivan - if for nothing more than his sheet historical importance. Sullivan was the last bare-knuckle champion and the first gloved champion in heavyweight history. He was an ethnic icon to Irish Americans, particularly in his native Boston.
John Al Sullivan without a doubt, Justinian G nailed this one, thumbs up.
Chris John :)
