    ola afolabi.a class act,who effectively ruined the more than decent maccarinelli.needs greater exposure and more regular activity to realise his full potential,which is more than a journeyman and sparring partner for toney and the klitschkos...

    I don't think Victor Ortiz is given the credit he deserves. I think he's the dark horse of the 140lb division and could prove to be one of the best in that division. He's young and a couple of mistakes have cost him, but I'm backing him along with Khan to do well tonight and dominate this division before moving up to 147lb.

    Either Tony Thompson, Luiz Collazo, Steve Cunningham or Daniel Geale.

    Afolabi is underrated, but I don't know if he's the MOST underrated. He was beat fair and square by Huck (although I thought the scores should have been a lot closer than they were officially), and I had him down on the cards when he knocked out Macca.

    I don't know who my most underrated fighter is now. For years, they were Chris John and Celestino Caballero, but Caballero sort of got so underrated that he became overrated, and John just hasn't looked too great the last couple years.

    I'd have to probably go with Hugo Cazares, who always makes exciting fights, tries fighting the best out there (including arguably getting robbed against Calderon in their first fight), has won titles in two weight classes and yet still can't get a spot on US TV and gets little to no recognition anywhere.

    I agree about Ortiz. I am amazed at how many people refer to him as a hypejob since Maidana. It's like people have only watched that one fight and assume all he can do is slug it out!?

    Mark my words he will KO Lamont Peterson.
