Who have been some underrated professional heavyweight boxers?

Yes indeed son. Many were underrated. Many were also overrated. Next thread pls

 

Chris Byrd

 

Yes son the specifics are there if in so far were to you to look as if but so close to yes

 

Trevor' Berbick .
First man to take Holmes the distance.
Beat Greg page
Upset Pinklon Thomas .
Beat John Tate .
Only stopped twice in 23 years .

 

Berbick's not a bad shout, actually. Far from the joke figure he used to be made out as. Damiani was a better fighter than people tend to think, at least in terms of skill if not resume. Completely outboxed and flummoxed Mercer before getting stopped in his tracks by that uppercut.... And Mercer himself was a good ol' Heavyweight in his day.

 

I think most of them pre-Dempsey get overlooked or underrated pretty often.

I think Jack Johnson is very underrated.

I think there are a lot more underrated fighters at lower weights.

 

Jim Braddock
Floyd Patterson
Max Baer
Ingemar Johansson

 

Jesse Ferguson. Watch his nifty combos and body work against Buster Douglas

 

Al Jones, Leroy Jones, and Roy "Tiger" Williams are all underrated.

 

Damiani was a really good fighter. His problem was he didn't like getting hit. As long as things were going his way he looked good. The moment he got hurt he found a way to quit. The reason nobody mentions his name anymore is because most people have this mind set "If people on TV don't mention somebody they want mention them".

 

good call on Leroy Jones, fine boxer

 

George Chuvalo is under rated.

 

Sultan Ibragimov
