1 Billion: Most under and overated fighters in history

[JAB5239]

i agree but I find that lots of people over here at least (maybe across the atlantic its different) regard Lewis as top 5 or 6 while hardly having holmes in their top twenty I'd have them ranked very close together and certainly think that Holmes is underrated compared to lewis - Lewis lost to guys he shouldn't have lost to in his prime Holmes didn't.

I have Holmes 3rd and Lewis 5th, all time. But we can just as easily question Holmes. He had two very close wins against Witherspoon and Carl Williams when both were a COMBINED 31-0 and never granted or looked for rematches to set the record straight. Now I had Larry the winner in both fights, but rematches should have been made, at the very least for Witherspoon who he had time to fight again.
