    Herol Graham wasn't an underachiever IMO. Just a unlucky fighter who was around at a time when there were a lot of great fighters in that division.
    I felt Herol could have done more, he got knocked out by Charles Brewer. I guess I was a bit harsh in hindsight.

    Conteh looked a legend from the little footage I saw of him, it's a shame the playboy lifestyle took over.

      Two undisputed world champions have been mentioned in this thread, pretty funny, "under achiever", what more is there to be achieved? Funnier still is I know and understand why they're mentioned (Judah especially)

          Ricky's last fight was against the consensus best fighter alive today. The only way he could acheive any more is if he beat Mayweather. The fact that you think he underacheived means you think he SHOULD have dealt with Mayweather. This means you consider Ricky Hatton p4p 1, thus rendering any opinion of yours in the future invalid.

                      Jeff Lacy was mostly hype. He didn't underacheive because he never had the ability to beat Joe. If they fought 1000 times, Joe would be 1000-0 and Jeff would be 0-1000. If he was able to beat Joe, but didn't, that would be underacheiving.
