    cotto's win over malginaggi at 140....i think is underrated.....people sleep all the time on malginaggi's skills....but i think malginaggi was in his prime during that fight against cotto...before all his injuries....and paulie is a very intelligent boxer, with sound ring generalship, solid ring technician....and i think that win for cotto at that point in his carear is underrated....very solid win

      Mayweather's win over Hatton. People want to complain that Mayweather only fights people out of their prime and ducks top fighters. They never want to mention the fact that Mayweather, who supposedly doesn't have power, KOed Hatton who was a champion(still holds one belt too) and undefeated at the time.


      Calzaghe over Bhop. Very underrated. People do want to cite his age and all but how shot can he be when he put a boxing clinic on Pavlik?

        no way this great win for floyd is underrated sir...

        it was this win which cemented his place in the strata of boxing superstars which was ignited by his victory over ODLH...

        a win becomes underrated when only few people would take notice or the winner himself somehow becomes less recognized... (zahir raheem over morales, quintana over williams, chris john over jmm...)

        neither happened in this great floyd victory...

          Mayorga over Forrest
          Hatton over Urango

          Spring to mind.

            How about Terry Norris win over Castro?

            Castro beat

            John David Jackson
            Reggie Johnson
            an old Roberto Duran


            Reggie Johnson a had win over Steve Collins who beat Eubank/Benn twice. He pushed James Toney all the, and was one of the first, if not THE first man to drop him.

                Soren Sondergaard's win over Baldomir is heavily underrated.

                    Floyd was p4p #2 3 years into his pro career and p4p #1 since 05. This fight was another great one for Floyd but not his defining fight for sure.
