    Virgil Hill doesnt get enough love.

    He is a freak of nature like Hopkins in fighting and still being competitive at such an advanced age but it's never really mentioned.

    Any fighter not from America probably deserved more credit, although curse the thought they could be as good as yankie doodle boxers

    Too many to menttion. Because of the lack of film avaibile I would say allmost every boxer who boxed before world war two dose not get the recognition that they deserve.

    Mike Mccalum he beat Julian Jackson with a knockout giving him his first lose and also had two close fights with Toney when Mccalum was a little bit out of his prime.
