    Tua vs Ike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQStB2IRWOo Many here talk about great great fights of Barrera vs Morales, Gatti vs Ward, Hagler vs Hearns, Corrales vs Castillo 1, Marquez vs Vazquez, Pacquiao vs Marquez and so on and so on but how come i don't read anybody mention Tua vs Ike? Tua vs Ike imo is one of the most underrated fights of all times and imo one of the best fights of all times. Go look at the highlight of that fight and tell me if i'm wrong.

    Tua vs Ike is a great fight but it lacked drama.

    My pick for most underrated fight of all time is:

    Honorable mentions: Lopez/Saad II, Bowe/Golota II, Norton/Holmes, Tua/Ike, etc.

    I think Ike/Tua gets a fair mention..it was an awesome heavy fight. And I rarely say that about heavyweight fights.

    Cotto vs Torres is indeed up there as the most underrated fight but i feel Tua vs Ike is ahead cause Cotto was still well known to the public while Tua and Ike were both not much well known. But i don't have a problem with your pick.

    Tua vs Ibeabuchi is a great fight,one of the best HW fights in the last 15 yars and IMO it gets mentioned.

    My pick for great underrated fights:

    Acelino Freitas vs Jorge Barrios.

    The argentinian-brazilian rivalry goes from the pitch to the ring and ends in a great war.

    i agree. it gets pretty fair respect on the forum. it's a great fight and has crept into my all time favourite fights list but as has been stated, lacks drama.

    as noted above, norton/holmes is VASTLY underrated and that is easily one of the greatest heavyweight fights of all time. 15 rounds of pure back and forth action that was DEAD EVEN until the final minute when holmes pulled a victory out of his ass. that's an underrated fight

    Danny Williams Vs Mark Potter

    What a fight! Danny Williams is crazy, sometimes hes world class, sometimes hes a joke. Sometimes hes the guttsiest fighter around, sometimes hes a whimp. Anyway, watch this. Danny at his best

    I was there. It was a ****ing awesome fight. When I saw it live I had Tua by one point. When I watched the replay I had Ike by one point. Watched it again a couple years ago and called it a draw. :lol:

    Cooper vs Moorer was a barn burner too. Love that fight. All action was Bert.
