Overated Classics ,Underated Classics

[TheGreatA]

Here is the fourth fight between "Bazooka" Limon and Bobby Chacon. There's not much skill on display but even more heart and endurance.


A great one round fight between Ray Mancini and Arturo Frias.


Jerry Quarry vs Joe Frazier.

Not sure if these fights are underrated (two were FOTY's) but they aren't mentioned much today.

[No-mas-tias]

Marquez vs. Vazquez II, other than the first round and the knockdown suffered by Marquez it was a one sided affair to me.

[Mr. Ryan]

was the 10 th round in Holfield v Bowe 1 overated in your opinion ?

No, though it's mentioned too much for my liking. That it's become a cliche detracts from how good it was.

In the middle of the round Holyfield is clearly out on his feet after the uppercut. Bowe was swinging for dear life as Holyfield stumbles trying to regain his composure. Bowe gets tired and then Holyfield starts coming back and hurt Bowe with some nice hooks in exchange. Though I think Lampley was abit overboard in the Legendary Nights recount saying Bowe was almost out, he was stunned but he's a big guy to try and KO.

Easily a staple of boxing history.

Vasquez/Daniels….

Is that considered underated?

[Mr. Ryan]

Martin Castillo-Alexander Munoz II was an underrated fight.

[Hitman932]

hearns/hagler gets way more play than hearns/leonard I and its not nearly as good a fight

[Mr. Ryan]

Leonard-Hearns I is looked at as being superior by a lot of media.

Casamayor-Corrales I, Morales-McCullough, and Quartey-Lopez were all underrated fights.

[Silencers]

Basilio vs Saxton 2 is an underrated classic IMO, no one talks about it. Great fight.

[Jim Jeffries]

Marquez vs. Vazquez II, other than the first round and the knockdown suffered by Marquez it was a one sided affair to me.

You sure you're not talking about the first fight? As I remember Marquez was dominating that one except for the knockdown. Still pretty good, but not like the second fight (though I thought the stoppage was premature, Vasquez could've been stopped on cuts.)

[FloydFanatic]

underrated is Mayweather-corley and Mayweather-n'dou. they were mad exciting
overrated is cotto-torres and margarito-cintron.
