Who was the most underrated fighter in history?

You all just mentioned guys that consistently get some sort of credit at the highest level, especially among boxing fans. Obviously Maidana was a stupid call lol Honestly, I'm not sure if any of the top level fighters can ever be "the most underrated" although the way some of them were treated, especially by the American media (Naz, Eubank Jr to say the least) was abysmal.

Prince Naseem Hamed. Lost on points to an ATG at a time when he'd lost his trainer and drive, was taking injections for his hands and came into a fight drained and looking like a zombie. After that loss everyone forgot that he had the WBC, WBO and IBF and defended one of them a record 15 times. A wildly entertaining and unorthodox featherweight with legitimate middleweight power, Manny Steward went so far as to say he hit harder than Lennox Lewis. From his pro debut in 1992 right up until his 35th fight with Augie Sanchez he was never in a dull fight and that's not even counting his insane KO ratio, his awesome ring entrances and front flip over the rips and all topped off with a KO. Boxing fans have never gotten as much moneys worth than a Prince fight, it was a show from start to finish. Yet because of one loss and early retirement he's discredited, called a fraud and overrated. Nothing could be further from the truth. He was UNDERRATED, he had the potential to be as big as Ali. Steward said he was the most naturally gifted boxer he'd ever met. Frank Warren said he could have been the greatest fighter that ever lived, but he didn't have the mental game on lock and got fat, but he was great nonetheless. There'll never ever be anyone like the Prince. I have to stop watching his fights at times because, no disrespect, after you watch the prince everyone just looks dull. It's like watching the Wire & the Sopranos, they make regular TV look crap. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/10/08/1412781830248_Image_galleryImage_Prince_Naseem_Hamed_celeb.JPG Agree with everything you just said, Nas was incredible, watched an interview the other day and he was talking about the barerra fight and by the sounds of tings he was massively overweight just a few weeks before and was advised not to fight by his team. Killed himself to make weight and wasn't anywhere near as good as he normally would be. It's a shame he didn't continue fighting, he was only young when he retired.

Finito Lopez

Eubank sr, Benn & Steve Collins are rarely mentioned in conversations about Super Middleweight's

I got to go with some posters here and go with Calzaghe.

Joe Calzaghe is criminally underrated.
