Which Fighters Are Underrated Because They Lost To Great Fighters?

Hi Guys.

This might sound strange but while they are obviously well rated, both Liston’s and Foreman’s losses to Ali - 10 years apart no less - might’ve added a measure of unfair tarnish to their careers/reps.

Certainly, there are people who believe (myself included) that the reigns of both Liston and Foreman would’ve been somewhat longer and more noteworthy had it not been for just that one man - The Greatest - Ali.

As it was, the first and second comings of Ali shortened the number of Liston’s and Foreman’s successful title defences to just 1 and 2 respectively.

 

Marlon Starling. Lost to curry very dangerous fighter who very few at welter in history could beat

 

Pernell Whitaker was actually a pretty good fighter despite the fact a washed, drugged out, over his best weight, bloated JCC nullified him to a draw.
