Most underrated fighters ever, who do u think ?

[Kimmy]

I agree with Juy Juy on this one. Mike McCallum was very under-appreciated. If he'd been around a little earlier, during the Leonard, Duran, Hearn and Hagler era he might have been involved in some of the classic 80`s fights and may have won a few too. He just doesn't get the respect he deserves.

underrated? barney ross, charley burley, jimmy mclarnin, tony canzoneri, lou ambers, ruben olivares, jim jeffries, tom sharkey, barry mcguigan, fritzie zivic etc.

i could go on and on and on...

Mike Watson, outboxed both Benn and Eubank

Watson had very good skills, but watch again and you see Benn blasting him about in the early rounds (first four or five rounds) and in the first Eubank fight Eubank was out-classing him in the early rounds (first four or five rounds). So Watson didn't really out-box them, Benn punched himself out and Eubank got lazy (in Eubank-Watson first fight). In the second Eubank fight, Watson completely changed his boxing style to attack Eubank with endless sharp clusters.. so he wasn't showing his usual finesse self in the second Eubank fight although I admit he was clearly winning the fight before the uppercut from hell. Watson looked unbeatable on that tragic night.

yeah i agree with loads of these.

what about Rid**** Bowe? from what i seen, the guy was awesome. great jab, great one-two, could fight both inside & outside, etc. Bowe gets so overlooked these days, but the guy convincingly beat a prime Holyfield a couple of times (Tyson lost to a pastprime Holyfield a couple of times & Lennox just about got past an ancient Holyfield a couple of times)
