isreal vasquez is definitely underrated, not many people recognize him in their p4p rankings, and he has beaten all of his opponents (pretty sure) im poitive hes beaten larios and marquez who have beaten him. is in a fight of the year candidate everytime he fights, goes for the knock out nonstop, all offense, improving defense what more do you want?Comment

Zero power? Dude you seriously need to watch more of his fights. Yeah, a lot of his stoppages are from an accumulation of punches, but damn, it's not like he's feather fisted.Comment

Sub par night? Still won?! What?!?! Man, he got whipped. Bad. That was easily the worst robbery in the last couple of years. I gave him maybe one or two rounds at best.
I would definitely throw Ivan Calderon out there. The guy is a boxing genius. Like Mayweather, but he will try for the finish but just seriously lacks power. Thats his only flaw.Last edited by BennyST; 11-28-2007, 12:33 AM.Comment

i remember that most people didnt gave a chance on him o nwinning the rematch against marquez and were sayingg he was a quitter.isreal vasquez is definitely underrated, not many people recognize him in their p4p rankings, and he has beaten all of his opponents (pretty sure) im poitive hes beaten larios and marquez who have beaten him. is in a fight of the year candidate everytime he fights, goes for the knock out nonstop, all offense, improving defense what more do you want?
i believed him when he said he had a problem breathing and even though i wasnt sure he was gonna win the rematch my odds were 50-50...when a lot of people gave him odds like 7-3 or 8-2....but wow, he was a machine on the rematch.Comment

I'm gunna catch heat for this: Zab Judah.
I understand he's lost basically every big fight he's had except for Spinks II, but he's held his own with EVERY big opponent he's faced: He was whooping Kosta in the 1st round until he became ****y, he was easily beating Floyd but couldn't handle the pressure, and he had Cotto hurt a couple times.
I admittingly think that the low blows in the Cotto fight were a little bit of a factor in his loss, but we'll really never know, and I take nothing away from Miguel, he showed his worth in the Mosley fight and there was really no foul play in that.Comment

In America, it's pretty much anyone good in the cruiserweight division.
They broadcast light flyweight fights before they broadcast cruiserweight fights. Kind of crazy that they would shun small heavyweight with stamina.Comment

It often seems like it is not so much fighters that are underrated but entire divisions. Especially divisions like Cruiserweight, Minimumweight...or anything under Featherweight really.
It's strange because a lot of times the lower weights produce some absurdly talented fighters that go completely unnoticed. Though they seem to be getting a bit more attention now than they ever have. Possibly due to the higher weights being so lacking in talent now. Especially in Heavyweight. There has been nothing fantastic happening there for a long time now. People are starting to realise that the little guys have the most exciting fights, most often.Comment
