    I'm not talking about ATG's but who were your favorite fighters in the past that have become somewhat forgotten and a fighter who you feel boxing fans don't necessarily appreciate their talent and ability as much as they should.

    For me, it would have to be Sharmba Mitchell. I always really liked watching him and he had some good skills, but seems to be a forgotten commodity now that he is done with boxing.

    To many to name But I will try:

    My absolute favorite fighter ever, Willie "The Worm" Monroe beat Hagler and remains the only fight hagler admits to losing. Said "Monroe tought me a boxing lesson.

    Joltin' Jeff Chandler brought the bantamweight crown to the US

    Brian Mitchell great South african feather weight

    Brian Mitchell great South african feather weight

    Was way underrated and i can only think how he would have been remembered if he was born in the states or was a british fighter
    good choice

    guys like Andy Gannigan, Kevin Kelley, Genaro Hernandez, and Ayala, Giorgio Campenala, Yuri Boy Campos, Javier Castillejo, and Winky Wright all tend to be a little under-rated, in my opinion.
