      This **** is sig worthy.

        lennox lewis is finally starting to get credit as an ATG, and a tough go h2h. really, really tough go.

          Especially Tunney, who wasn't even a career heavyweight.

          Underrated would probably be Rid**** Bowe and Lennox Lewis.

          Also Joe Frazier. I frequently see posters (trolls) on here referring to Frazier as a poor man's Sam Peter

          Watch Boxing Goat come on and give a Klitschko **** sucking.
          Screw off you jerk. Get a life instead of worrying about what I'm doing you Klitschko hating idiot.

          Tunney is hardly ever mentioned while Jack Johnson is praised all of the time.

          He's underrated and I already mentioned that in this thread.

            Then sig it. It's the truth.

            Tyson's best wins were against a cruiserweight and a faded ex-champion.

            Buster Douglas would have been pulverized by Vitali and Wladimir in 6 rounds or less.

                I don't believe Foreman to be underrated...most people who know boxing have him as top 5.

                Underrated would be Lennox Lewis...

                The Klits,will be interesting where they wind up....right now I would put them just outside the top 10.

                  i think this is one of the reasons why wladimir is underrated. people group his accomplishments in with his brother's. in reality, they are separate people with separate careers, and one has a much better resume than the other.


                  it doesn't help that a lot of people, myself included, would have picked vitali to win a fight in their primes.

                    True enough,

                    Resume wise Wladimir has the credentials to be at least top 15 ATG, possibly top 10.

                    Vitali, although tougher than his brother, doesn't have the resume to be more than a HOF imo.

                    As for the most underrated, I'd go for Jersey Hoe Walcott , I rarely see his name mentioned in this forum.
