Kates is quite underrated imo. An excellent boxer, who ran Galindez very close in their rematch. This isn't Hank's best weight and i see him getting outboxed quite comfortably.
Seconded. Kates had a peculiar jab as well, a real slasher if I may say so and he cut up many an opponents face with it as he turned his fists at the moment of impact to maximize the chance of cutting his opponent. Another lightheavy who is quite underrated would be Jesse Burnett who also had a great jab, too bad he was such a lazy and undedicated fighter, he could have been something had he had the dedication. Lonnie Bennett is another guy who doesn`t get much ink if any today but who was a damn sight better than todays`s sorry crop of lightheavys, a real good boxer he was.
