    The most underrated HW of all Time in your Opinion?

    I thinks its sonny liston.
    he would beat many heavys from the 70s, including the 70s ali.
    i see holmes giving him a great fight, frazier would end up like patterson.
    but even holmes would get his ass kicked with his none exist head movement.
    i think i will get many negative critics and red K for opening this thread, but i risk it anyway

      agree.liston would have dropped many hw in the late years.frazier liston would have been foty..i dont even think foreman would ko him out like he did with frazier.liston was a beast..ill never believe ali koed him in 1 round,its too fishy.

        even Rocky Marciano would have dropped so many hw from the 70's 80's.

              Sonny Liston for me.....Larry Holmes gets tons of credit now and many people have him in their Top 5 Greatest HW's so he's not that underrated anymore

                Most people only know liston for getting bashed up by Ali, so its probably him

                  Liston, he gets no love for some reason. His jab was beautiful.

                    Jimmy Young is pretty underrated, he beat a young Foreman and Ron Lyle (twice,) had a somewhat controversial loss to Ali, a draw with Shavers and a SD loss to Norton.

                    Jack Dempsey tends to get underrated these days as he has magically disappeared from most top 10 lists, despite being #1 60 years ago.
