    Greatest Undercard Ever

    So the recent Fury v Wilder undercard was lauded for having a great undercard. Which got me wondering, what was the greatest undercard ever?

    Feel free to define great however you like, and you can take it as greatest in regards to matchup or greatest in the actual performance.

    That's a very good question.

    Mayweather had a few good undercards. The Cotto fight comes to mind, Thurman, Mosley, Canelo, and I'm sure a few others, I remember liking that card.

      I can’t which remember which fights I’ve seen were undercards or not. I remember that Naoya Inoue’s debut for an American audience against that Puerto Rican guy was an undercard. That one was good.
      Wasn’t Micky Ward vs. Emmanuel Augustus (Burton) an undercard fight? That one made fight of the year

        Monzon vs Licata was an undercard fight.

          Don King use to have some stacked undercards. Guys like Trinidad, Chavez, Terry Norris as well as other top heavies just to name a few who have been on Mike Tysons undercards when they were top draws and champions themselves.

              Greatest can have various definitions depending on what you are evaluating. They evaluate the greatest in terms of excitement, or greatest in terms of historical impact, etc.

              As was implied, they are free to evaluate greatest on whatever criteria they choose.

                How about this 1937 card, which featured 4 world title fights and 7 future HOFers:

                    I don't organize my categories in a way I would remember that, but Jab is quite right that despite how bad King was, his cards were often stacked...
