Most underrated on this forum as a whole ..

You don't hear much about Jim Driscoll, or Abe Attell for that matter; both superb featherweights.

Anyone who saw these two men perform were amazed by their skill.

Tommy Burns is a good pick for heavyweight. The fact he was the shortest of all heavyweights and preceded Jack Johnson has labelled him as a harmless oddity.

I recall a young Mike Tyson singing his praises; that boxer knew his stuff.

 

Agreed. On a their best night I don't think Bowe was any better than Buster.

Oliver McCall has said he knew Douglas would beat Tyson.

 

Honestly, I think Buster was better than Bowe. He just happened to be even less motivated after winning the title, which is a remarkable achievement.

 

I think that being mentioned in a positive way decades after retirement makes it hard for a fighter to be considered 'the MOST underated', it would have to be some long forgotten guy, that is overlooked for whatever reason.

 

It's like The Game. The moment you remember that you're playing it, you lose.

 

Dude, i was being sarcastic :good

 

Bright Spider.

 

How do we feel about Johnny Dundee?

 

Boston Tom. So underrated that all footage has been destroyed.

 

Kilbane? Kid McCoy? McFadden? Lavigne? Saldivar too maybe? For some reason Winstone seems more popular in this board. Not without reason I'd say.

 

Think Chang is still underrated these days bro ?

 

what i meant to say was, its very easy for people to say Tyson crumbled against Holyfield etc etc

But how many fighters have existed like Holyfield? not many. especially when your coming off a 4 year prison stint and boxed barely 8 full rounds in 5 years.
