    He does fine these days, consistently placed in the top four of all time.

    During his era, it was criminal. Imagine being the guy in between Ali and Tyson.

    I think Lloyd Honeyghan doesn't get the credit he deserves in the UK. In my book he was clearly better than Benn and Eubank, and his resume is much better than Hamed's. As well as the career defining win against Curry, he also outpointed Blocker and demolished Rosi, Vaca, Bumphus and Hatcher. Starling ruined him, and he had nothing left by the time Breland beat him, but at his best he was a helluva fighter.

    Philly has dozens of forgotten greats, due to their records.

    I feel Olivares is a bit underrated to answer the question. I don't know. People understand he was talented but it seems he doesn't get enough respect at least imho. Most underrated? No.

    Hagler was a brawler too. Just look at the Eugene Hart fight for proof.

    :lol:

    I've asked him to review the (non) controversial Gavilan-Graham III fight in which Kid took at least nine rounds, most of them early however. Hey, Billy Graham fits in with the thread topic. :deal

    Had to be painful. :-(
