Extremely underrated wins?

[BennyST]

Miguel got no respect for his win against Shane...

Still people are acting like Cotto is somehow behind Shane as #1 ww in the world.

unfrigginbelievable !

Well, he is. He got KO'd by Margarito who then got KO'd by Mosley. That makes Mosley numero uno.

Norton over Ali I, incredibly smart fight.

I watched Hatton's greatest hits last night, and I think it's pretty clear that Hatton does not get nearly the love that he should for the Malignaggi fight.

I'm definitely of the mind that Castillo was totally shot (I can't believe someone in this thread said the rounds before the KO were close and competitive... it was a wipeout for Hatton), and that he shouldn't get that much credit for it, but...

The Malignaggi fight is a different story. Malignaggi's jab was working great, which was the reason that he was 34-1 before the fight. Hatton solved the jab, and showed that his handspeed was at least on par with slick Paulie.

Really good performance by Ricky Hatton.

I think Tysons win over Holmes is underrated.

Holmes was old, but he never was KO'd. He was way better then what people said he was.

Mayweathers wins against Carlos Hernandez and Jesus Chavez. We just seen these two veteran warriors lose on the lightweight lightning card in wars against young fighters. They were both top 130 pounders at one time. Mayweather beat them both back to back when they were in their primes.

Mayweathers second win vs Castillo too. People act like that fight never happened and Floyd just deserved to lose the first fight. Floyd knew something was wrong in the first fight so he gave Castillo an immediate rematch to prove who the better man was.

Miguel Cotto's win over Mohammed Abdullaev is underrated. Abdullaev was an olympic gold medalist who should have been undefeated when he faced Cotto but he had a bs loss because he couldn't understand english when the referee talked to him. Cotto boxes beautifully against him and aveneged his loss from the first round in the Olympics.

He was 25-1 (5 KOs)

Chavez especially was impressive to me. Hernandez is pretty good, but he's pretty one-dimensional/limited... Chavez was kind of a beast. His fight against Morales with one arm was just insane. He is a bonified badass.

The Castillo rematch is possibly his best win... although I think Corrales clearly takes the cake in that category.

Abdullaev was a straight killer. His fight against Holiday was INSANE with how much power and killer instinct he had. Cotto dismantling him was a really good win.

Good post.

He was 25-1 (5 KOs)

You... are right.

I thought he had a lot more wins... damn they stepped him up against Cotto early.

Thanks for the correction.

I think Hatton's win against castillo is underrated...castillo still had something left...and was ranked number 1 contender for the jww division....and hatton ko'd him

disagree

subsequent fights for Castillo have shown he has little left of the fighter that made him such a force at 135. Add to that other than him fighting Reyes he did nothing to deserve to fight in an elminator with Ngoudjo.

I think he wanted his shot before his hand problems came back. Also remember this was when Cotto was clearly having problems making 140. Malignaggi even said that in the build up to the fight. They were really banking on a weigh drained Cotto showing up. This was Cotto's last fight at 140, he was supposed to fight there one more time but he struggled so hard for this fight so he decided to move up. He still beat Malignaggi though.
