    This post sums up the whole thread in that it is a little off (not a dig at you Mod-Mania) but I think people need to realise the difference between under-rated and under-hyped.

    I think every poster on here would agree that all four of the fighters you have posted about are quality.

    I haven't seen any of Thomas Ward what is he like?

    Have to agree with Tyrone Nurse as well.

    Seen him spar his brother Martin Ward quite a few times and he's a really slick boxer with a good amateur pedigree. Won the European youth championships, only lost a handful of amateur fights and 17-0 as a pro.

    Interesting, I had no idea he was Ward's brother. He is ranked highly on boxrec but they seem to be taking there time to be building him.

    Think he was when he first turned over but he's with Phil Jeffries in the north east now.

    Probably David Haye. The lack of respect his talent receives on this forum is pathetic. Although it probably stems from hatred rather than underestimation of his talent. Anyone who thinks he would lose to Joshua should start watching tennis instead of boxing.

    Do you think? On here and indeed the boxing community in general Haye is quite highly regarded I find. A lot think he is overrated at Heavyweight (myself included) but I don't know if there are enough of us to warrant him being labelled underrated.

    I'm going by this forum. There are a lot of people who think his heavyweight record is a "joke" and many who believe Fury and Joshua easily beat him. Of course, objective boxing enthusiasts would never underrate such a fighter but there are several idiots who do seem to.
