    I agree with Mark Johnson, but the general consensus is that The Body Snatcher would be a rough night for any 160lb fighter in History on his night. He was arguably the best Middleweight during a really good era of Middleweights; Nunn, Toney, and Kalamby to name a few. Great fighter.

    i 2nd Kessler

    Andrade, nahh...he got picked apart by Kessler and Bute (though i think he should of won that 1)

    and Calzaghes basically worshipped by all british people, some think he's the top10 of all time, i'd say he's overated

    but uhh current underrated fighters

    1. Nonito Donaire - a P4P fighter but never really mentioned that much
    2. Joan Guzman - outside of his weight issues he's an excellent fighter
    3. Sergiy Dzinziruk - highly skilled boxer puncher
    4. Mikkel Kessler - though alot of Euro's overrate him, 99% of the americans underate him
    5. Juan Diaz - i think he's been getting underated since his loss to Campbell
    6. Chrs John - very good boxer puncher as well, though JMM was robbed it was still a compettive fight
    7. Vic Darchinyan - dont know why he's not mentioned alot in terms of best around even though he got KTFO'D he's still a monster in the lower weight classes
    8. Andre Berto - steadily improving, as well as his opposition, but a good amount of people still think the likes of Collazo will beat him, sadly mistaken
    9. Alfredo Angulo - hasn't really beaten many people, but still....he's the real deal, Margarito + Technique and solid boxing skills
    10. Sergio Martinez - again, he aint accomplished much but still he's very talented

    Why is that so hard to believe? I'd pick him by UD but a stoppage isn't out of the possibility.

    Wlad gets A LOT of hate. He has a great jab, a solid left hook. His right hand is fairly weak, and dont get me started on his chin. But he still deserves cred.
    Im not saying ATG, im just saying he deserves a little bit more love.

    Historically, I would say Hamed doesn't get as much love on here as he should. Currently and in general I would say Junior Witter, also Kessler and Abraham, maybe even Glen Johnson as well, certainly Tarver.

    imo Pac although he is considered the best fighter today, he is underrated historically

    Linares is underrated because he hasn't fought the best opposition but he is still a damn good fighter.

    Barrera

    JMM

    Hamed

    Lewis

    Exactly, I heard that even Joe's own mother can't decide whether he is a trash talking bum or an ATG. :D

    Based on those photos he took with the stripper, I dont think he would be after the wife. The Husband is another matter. I heard that at a Swanky Hollywood party, the Golden One was ignoring J-Lo and trying to get Marco Antonio drunk.
