  • Most Underrated Boxers of All-Time?

    (No particular order)
    Larry Holmes-Greatest Jab in boxing
    George Chuvalo-Greatest chin in boxing
    Azumah Nelson-Vastly underrated for being one of the greatest fighters from Africa.
    Michael Moorer-Dude knocked out every Light Heavyweight he faced
    Nino Benvenuti-Inducted into the hall of fame but nobody mentions him
    Mike McCallum-The losses to Toney and RJJ were late into his career.
    Pone Kingpetch-Beat Fighting Harada in the rematch.

    A lot more great fighters don't get the credit they deserve.

    Add to the list.

    Ricardo Lopez (Greatest fighter ever in his weight class)
    Virgil Hill (5 time world champion, 20 LHW title defences)
    Montell Griffin (Beat the 2 best fighters of the 90's)
    Felix Sturm (Arguably the best MW today, Yet people rate guys like Paul Williams and Sergio Martinez over him. Even though he has been Middleweight champion for almost 4 years)
    Luis Collazo (I always rated him highly)

    Edit : I didnt see the "all time" part but these are some of the most underrated boxer I have ever watched.

        I agree about Casamayor but Barkley? I understand that he beat Hearns twice but other than that he got his ass whooped in almost every big fight he had. Nigel Benn, James Toney and Henry Maske all beat the living **** out of him.

              Larry Holmes was underrated when he was fighting, but now he ain't underrated anymore.

                Definitely on the same page with you about Moorer and McCallum. I'd add Brian Mitchell who is a HOFer and beat every man he ever stepped into the ring with and had a long title reign.
