Fighters with underrated attributes.

Sugar Ray Leonard - agression/killer instinct.

 

Joe Frazier`s quickness. You don`t hear or read people talk about how quick Smokin Joe was. He was able to get inside on Ali with his head movement but that hook was like a whip. Fast, short, precise punches.

Ali`s strength. Not power but his ability to wrestle in the clinches and hold his own or more than hold his own.

Felix Trinidad`s right hand. It was a devastating weapon.

 

Ali - power and strength

Frazier - quickness

Frazier - chin

Sonny Liston - everything

 

Leonard was a hell of a finisher. One of the best ever.

 

Chavez defense.
Morales could box.
Tyson heart and chin.

 

Foreman - Stamina

Tyson - Heart

Liston - Heart

Liston - Chin

Liston - ring intelligence

Liston - boxing ability (extremely underrated)

Liston - power (somewhat underrated)

 

Hagler and holyfield :accuracy everything they threw landed spot on .

 

What? The first thing thats said when Trinidad is mentioned is he has KO power in both hands

 

Most of the time you hear about his devastating lefthook. That was usually his finishing punch. I think his righthand gets underated because it often setup his finishes. He was a two handed threat compared to a guy like DelaHoya.

 

I just spit out my goddamn milk!:rofl

 

Earnie Shavers - Chin.

 

I disagree on this one, losses inside the distance to Stander, Quarry and Mercado.

 

And won a genuine World Belt against an excellent fighter who is in the HOF

 

Pep-Power. 61 KO's in a career is a pretty substantial amount, and he could have scored a few more had he not worn the cuffs in a few of his fights. Broke Bartolo's jaw with a single right hand and starched him. Scored numerous kd's throughout his title reign even in fights that went the distance.

He's considered to be among the most feather-fisted of ATG's, but the stats indicate that he had considerably more pop than he's generally given credit for having.

 

I think on the same note as Pep, Pernell Whitaker had more pop in his punches than he his known for. He punched to the body with authority and I remember he dropped Pineda with a bodyshot in a fight at 140lbs. Sweetpea also hurt Chavez which was a big surprise at the time.
