[BmoreBrawler]

Not enough skill exhibited to be honest.

Now Terry Norris-Troy Waters was underrated.

Back and forth fight, 12th round KO, I'll take it.

How about this Michael Moorer vs Bert Cooper slugfest? Great heart shown by both men, especially Moorer.

Whitaker/McGirt I and Adamek/Briggs fights both underrated.

Adamek/Briggs was Gatti/Ward at higher weights.

[oldgringo]

Cotto/Torres...underrated. If not for Castillo/Corrales I and Morales/Pacquiao I its FOTY.

Eubank/Watson II is a lesser known classic. Aaron Davis v Mark Breland was a classic.

How ****ing predictable. You are a walking cliche.

what does that mean? i didnt do nuthin to you son.

That you picked two Floyd Mayweather fights (one of which was a gross mismatch) and dump on a thriller like Cotto-Torres. But you know what, you are right. You are entitled to any opinion you want. You don't even pretend to hide your pro Mayweather agenda and it doesn't make you any worse than a number of other posters here with various biases. So although I meant exactly what I said, I am .

Barrera/McKinney. Very underrated fight. I hardly ever hear about that one nowadays. It is an absolute classic and the opening fight for FNF.

AS: that Norris/Waters pick was a great one. Very underrated. Waters had the heart of a lion! Great stuff.

Massively underrated: Jeff Harding vs Dennis Andries! Their first and third fights were easily up there with the greatest fights I've ever seen. If you're into the whole 'Rocky' scenario Harding/Andries first fight is the greatest fight ever...period! Andries was the light heavy world champ and his opponent was injured. The completely unknown Harding was given a shot (with no hope at all of actually winning. The only thing that was known was that he was tough) and what resulted was one of the most immense shows of courage, heart and will by this young guy ever witnessed in a boxing ring (think Limon/Chacon for the heavy divisions). True classic that is very rarely ever talked about. Every boxing fan should go out and watch this one now.

Overrated: Somsalicht..sek...nine or whatever his name is vs Monshipour FOTY 06. While it is exciting, I really struggle to watch with joy, two guys who actually can't miss each others face and fight with nothing but swinging wild punches. It disturbs me a bit. Kind of like Gatti/Ward but even that has some good skill in it. Speaking of Ward, another fight that is very underrated is his fight with Augustus. Even though it won FOTY it never seems to be talked about much. It was as good as good as Gatti/Ward. Even better probably for pure non stop action with two guys who refuse to give up.
