criminally underated fights

Lennox Lewis Vs. Ray Mercer I see so many good/great fights threads in NSB over the years but never seen this fight mentioned, i stumbled upon it several years ago when the highlight pop-up in my youtube recommendation, after watching the highlight immediately search for the full fight but youtube and others video sites dont have it back then. finally remember it yesterday and thank god youtube have it this time. really good fight, pack with back and forth action with heavy blow. the punch technique and output from both fighter especially lewis is outstanding. i thought Lewis won it but can't argue with Draw either. Maybe is underated because it was only 10 rounder and undercard to some forgettable PPV event. What another criminally underated fights you recommend??

Absolutely. It's like another world of awesome. Yeah a division that goes completely under the radar. The obsession with 140-147 in boxing is ANNOYING. SO much great talent at light heavy/cruiser . Get's me pumped. We now even have another killer in the division in Joe Smith

sorry No de la hoya big fight ever underated, es When people think De La Hoya fights Mosley I never really comes up, since that is in my opinion the best fight he was in that makes it under rated. I also don't think it is a fight that people newer to the sport go back and really watch. Even with those distinctions from HBO

I was at that arce vs hussein fight and i remember thinking there was no way pac vs morales in the main event were gonna top that...but they did. My favorite boxing event hands down. yeah i remember had the same thought too. this card is the first time i seen pacquiao fight eventhough he lose to my fav fighter at the time i immediately in love.

Oscar De La Hoya vs Ike Quartey Diego Corrales-Acelino Frietas was damn near as good as the Castillo fight but no one ever talks about it. De La Hoya-Mosley I probably the most fun De La Hoya fight. sorry No de la hoya big fight ever underated, es[ecially those two. Mosley 1 is FOTY and HBO consider it as their FOTD. as for quartey i see people mention it a lot many debate about quartey's jab is the best in the bussines.

Not sure if it's underrated but Pavlik vs Miranda was a barnburner. One of the most exciting fights I've seen. Pascal vs Froch is also an incredible fight that doesn't get enough love.

I really enjoyed this fight from a few years ago, Nwodo-Wilson, action packed with a VIOLENT ending.

Those who didn't watch Easter v Commey from a few months ago really owe it to themselves. There's a nice PBC upload on youtube.
