Sugar shane looked garbage against a 2nd class guy in Estrada.

Cotto hasnt done anything to be rated yet, hes just been shoved down our throat so much by HBO and Top Ranks. Theres an Irish kid who faught in FNF whos KO all his opponents hes like 20-0 20ko's and looked real impressive looked like he had a lot of fire and anger in his soul but he doesnt have HBO to back him up.

You really have no clue do you, Judah is the most overrated fighter if anything, if not the most, maybe top 3 at least.

This one is easy: Jose Luis Castillo

This guy beat Floyd once, went to war and won with a seemingly best-at-135 Juan Lazcano at the time. Even in the rematch with Floyd the fight was scored very closely (even closer than the one in which Castillo clearly won).

Castillo broke Julio Diaz down, and many people picked Diaz to outbox Castillo, some even to TKO him late.

Castillo had a good close fight and won vs Joel Casamayor, who is an awesome gold-medal boxer and simply could not find the will-power to hold off Castillo for 12 rounds. He put some serious hurt on Casamayor which made Casa tired and allowed Castillo to win the fight.

Castillo fought to a draw with awesome lightweight Stevie Johnston. Johnston split a pair of fights with a prime Cesar Bazan.

Castillo brutalized and TKO'd Bazan in 6 rounds in 2001. By comparison, it took Miguel Cotto 11 rounds to do the same vs a faded Bazan.

Castillo takes on all comers, odes well vs all comers, and still is not given the recognition he deserves.

Vitali is a great fighter, but he gets more attention and hype than he deserves. I personally like him, but saying his is underated is pretty crazy, I think he's rated fine, or maybe a tad overated.

The guy's name is John "Irish Ropes" Duddy and his record is only 9-0 9 ko's. He trains in my gym btw.

umm people say toney will ko vitali, that statment alone makes him underrated

John Ruiz is easily the most underrated now. And by the greatest error margin considering his great skills.

Sturm is not underrated, he's a good young fighter, but he has no big accomplishments. Vitali is not underrated, either. Look at his resume.

Don't project you & your father's views on boxing onto the other fans, please. Just because you two have crushes on certain fighters it doesn't mean they are or are not noticed.

They're those punches thrown by southpaws.....usually after a straight left. I used to like the way Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson could double his to the body & the head.............

Close a lot of good fighters out there with out any name in the big time butid have to go with James Toney for his fantasic abiltiy to roll punches, take, give and how relaxed he is in ring. Also Winky Wright is a very good underrated fighter.

John Duddy is awsome, i saw his last fight, what a knockout, don't know how far he'll go though. He'll probably be another calzaghe british type fighter, popular over there and nowhere else

Well, I tell you, I always like to root for the underdog, and from the way he looked with Bowe's fat ass, and the ass whooping he gave him, Im hoping to see some good things from Zumbrum in the future. I would like to see him parlay his small bit of fame into something bigger.

I'd say the most under-rated, off the top of my head is Cory Spinks. He was finally getting the respect he deserved before his loss to Judah and you rarely hear him mentioned as a contender these days due to it.

7 rds to 5 casamayor, just because you win the last 2 rds of a boxing match doesn't mean that you won the fight...
