        He's not underrated by anybody.As I stated already,his record is padded full of unranked journeyman and the odd ranked contender.


        Ali,and several other heavyweights "edge" foreman because they beat ar more rated contenders than foreman did.They didn't cherry pick their entire careers and take the easy route the way foreman did.



        Go look up the rankings and see how many contenders foreman avoided.



        If you can't see that foreman's record is padded,then you clearly don't know anything about his career.

          he does have alot of "who the *** is that" in his record, but he also annihilated some very very good fighters.
