Underrated / Underappreciated fighters

[Rusty Tromboni]

I feel like Monzon is under appreciated. He didn't move up weight classes, which for many is the preeminent sign of greatness, and he wasn't really flashy (at least in the ring). But nobody here has seen a better middleweight.

Walker, Conn, Robinson, Hopkins, Golovkin.

Jones would not have been a Middleweight in Monzon's era, but if they fought it's a pick-em.

Steele is pick-em, too.

Monzon had much better competiton than Hagler, but most of his opponents tried the same approach. The worst one, no less. Outside of Valdez, none even had a chance of making it work.

He's the division's best champ, but we've seen better Middleweights.
