    Two that come to mind for me personally.

    1) kid gavilan, I read once that his record is deceptive and he actually should have won the majority of his losses. Further research into this claim could see him crack my top 25.

    2) Another is gentleman james corbett, up until his loss to fitz I believe he achieved more or atleast equal to the achievements of tunney. I don't think past prime losses should be held against him and actually am willing to officially label him as "underrated"

    JD, I have fond memories of Tony Janiro. At 16 he won the Ohio Golden Gloves title, turned pro and was the best looking boxing prospect i ever saw. He was expected to be another tony Canzoneri, but women was his downfall. He was a curley haired pink cheeked matinee idol,and was catnip to the ladies. After he retired he became a bartender near the old MSG...
