Most underrated HW ever.

[Croyd]

lol just glanced through this thread ...

Lewis is somewhat underrated these days as is Bowe

I'll never forget the match between Bowe and Golota.
I thought Golota was clearly winning , he just couldn't keep his hands off Bowe's crotch. Golota gets DQ'd then the arena erupts into a riot(there wasa lot of racial tension that night). If I remember correctly ,one of the trainers(was it Lou Duva), got beat on a little during the riot.

Marciano. People refuse to accept he's the GOAT.

If he's not the GOAT, he should certainly be considered one of the hardest punchers ever. I think he would have knocked Ali out had he not gotten cut to pieces.

I think Danny Williams isn't mentioned once when talking about top heavyweights of the 00s....and rightfully so lol but he is underrated in terms of heart and he always came to fight. Vitali pummeled him within an inch of his life but DW kept coming, in a domestic bout, he knocked out an opponent after he had his shoulder dislocated, he fought with his arm literally hanging off.
The term "Never say never" was invented for men like Danny Williams.

I don't know about you but I'm going with Tor Hamer for the winner of the 'never say die' award. Williams was a great pick though. It was awesome when he outlasted and knocked out a prime Mike Tyson.

Prime Jimmy Young was one hell of a heavyweight. Beat Foreman, and probably deserved the nod over Ali. Has a win over Lyle as well.

Upset of the century!!

i think wladmir is really underrated. he is boring but if he beats a hw title defense record then you cant keep him out of the top ten no matter the boring preformances against top competition.

Prime? you might wana look that up in the dictionary

I think Young just about deserved the nod by a point or 2 but its ridiculous our out of shape Ali was, plus it was the 6th time he fought in just over a year

Larry Holmes is underrated by the public at large ... not so much by the purists.

I always have thought that Larry was overrated...Now I am a little biased...I just flat out don't like Larry Holmes...his resume isn't horrible but I usually see him ranked WAY to high on ATG list...He beat 1000 year old Ali,Old Kenny Norton,Shavers was pretty old.

I guess his best win was Ray Mercer or Gerry Cooney? I'm not really sure.

you can argue marciano is the best HW of all time
