Most underrated fight ever

[Barn]

Most of those are generally regarded as truly great fights by anyone not mentally challenged. For an underrated great fight how about Ray Leonard Vs Wilfred Benitez as it seems to get overshadowed by the other Fab Four fights of the era?

Yeah good fight. The publics first exposure to the fact that Ray Leonard was a once in a lifetime fighter.

It was about as great a display of skills from both fighters as you're likely to see (unless you watch a film of Ray Robinson shadow boxing). Kind of a "thinking man's" great fight

Top 20 fight of the last 30 years IMO

This fight isn't underrated.
I don't think iv heard/read anyone say it was a shi t fight.

but its not EVEN CLOSE to top 20 of the last 30 years.

I think the Marquez vs. Pacquiao fights are underrated

I think the Marquez vs. Pacquiao fights are underrated

Id agree to a point, they are well know fights but remembered more for contraverey rather than the great action, fight two was one of my favourites.


Heres a fight that barely gets a mention and was a real classic - Clifford Ettine vs Lawrence Clay Bey

Corrales vs Castillio 2 was a cracker while it lasted but gets under rated because its so far behind their first epic. Plus the weight issue

Another under rated Chico fight is the Clottey one, top quality action.

I like the Clottey-Corrales fight, but it's sad when you realize that he was like a month away from death at that point...and he gets his ass whooped.

Don't know about ever, but I feel Freitas-Barrios is a very underated fight.

Margarito-Cotto also.

I think everybody knows that Cotto-Margarito is the kind of fight that turns people into diehard boxing fans. That's pretty much the highest compliment I can give a fight.

Mike Tyson vs Trevor Berbick is very under rated fight
