    Most underrated fighter ever

    AS well as overrated to all boxing fans & media alike? Is it actually possible to incite such a vastly array of differing views for one fighter? I say yes if that fighter is one Vitali Klitschko. Logic dictates that if there's equal amount of naysaying & accolades.. then the actual truth is somewhere in the middle.... but more logic dictates that when a fighter is despised more or merely devalued rather than envied that the consensus choice is where within the truth lies.

    I'm here to tell you that this is an instance where logic is defied.. with the reasoning for MOST of the hate towards the fighter being the main focus & scorn has more to do because he's too dominant & too big & it's too easy to root for him.. than not to root for him.. in other words we fight our natural urge which is too root for dominance & replace our natural instinct with excuses & bitterness as to why this one fighter can NOT be outboxed or outgunned by any fighter that's ever fought in the professional ranks... this fighter is the epitome of Goliath if we' ever REALLY seen it & the fact there's no David on the face of this earth to even test him scares us all... your honor I REST my case!

    Charley Burley.

    Never won a major title, Ray Robinson ducked him. 'Nuff said.

        No way the great SSR ducking an inferior fighter>>> absurd I tell ya.. I'll tell you one fighter he would've offered to pay the government to pencil him into the Witness Protection Plan if he had to go up against him for realz & that's Dr. Ironfist himself.

                Do a quick google search if you don't believe me, it's there.

                Ike Williams was also very underrated. Beat the beat lightweights of his era who were also hall-of famers (Bob Montgomery and Beau Jack)

                    He's a pretty well-regarded fighter I think? Top 10-15 all-time great anyways.

                    Gene Tunney doesn't get enough respeck!
