    He ain't underrated no more. Ever since he's been retired, his legacy has been growin. HW suckin like it has the past few yrs makes more and more cats appreciate LL for the work he did during his career. The only ones who don't respect him are likely biased Tyson fans, for obvious reasons. Dude was a great HW champ.

          Probably not,coming along in an era when the proliferation of titles became silly post tyson.I dont think that there is any doubt that he was the very best of this era and very possibly the best british fighter of all time.

            His two KO losses hurt him but not as much as he got vengence on both. He is the best HW boxer of my lifetime.

              Only because the division is worse now then when Lennox dominated. A lot of people took Lennox for granted IMO.

                  He was never underrated.
                  Look how much money Lennox make in boxing career.
                  He beat everyone and Foreman said after Tyson beatdown that his is best heavyweight ever!!!!!

                    I would probably contend that Larry Holmes is more underrated than Lennox Lewis.
