    Either Humberto Soto or Ponce De Leon in modern times.

    He had injuries that knocked him off the top of his game at the worst possible time, kind of like Jeff Lacy.

    i rate carr highly, he was a very dangerous contender back then. if he were around today, he'd be champ. no problem.

    I will be hated for saying this, but Anthony Mundine. It's not because I think he's "so good" but because everybody else seems to think he is absolutely dreadfully "so bad."

    He's fought, and beaten better fighters than people give him credit for...

    there was a time when he was a pretty good fighter, but not anymore. he's just a joke now.

    the reason for him being looked on as a joke back then was down to him getting knocked out by ottke, who wasn't even a puncher. but yeah, he was better than a lot of people think.

    Beau Jack is a good shout.

    Ken Nortons ability is also underrated at times, he gave Ali and Holmes hell.

    Sorry Nonito,but I hate you for saying that.

    I may forgive you one day but the pain is too raw at this point.
