    Rees is a good shout. I think David Haye is under rated on this forum tbh.
     
  3. I think Matthew macklin often isn't given the credit he deserves which is why he tells everyone how good he is
    Another this one controversial is Kell brook spoken about on here as though he is a bum and a coward where he actually is pretty good

    Under-rated by whom? By the posters on here?

    Olusegun and Murray are good shouts IMO. Ola Afolabi possibly, if you count him as a Brit.
     
  7. Tyson fury and David price are underrated by people on this site

    If you didn't watch boxing you would believe from here that they were 2 amateurs who have no skillset at all
    The truth is they are 2 heavyweight contenders learning the trade and are a mile above domestic class

    Agreed.

    Obviously their not on the Klitschos level but they are as good as anything else in the heavyweight scene atm.
     
  9. I'll second that
    It's looking like most of our best are underrated,they definitely get too much criticism,like cleverlys is because of his promoters matchmaking not him

    Sorry but it's not just the way he's matched, I don't think he's that good, he gets by on workrate and chin, he has an awful defence and can easily be outboxed, I just don't rate him its that simple.
