is brian mitchell the most underrated boxer ever

With all due respect, Rocky was clearly past it for the Lopez fights, and Lopez himself could just as easily have had two losses against Molina. Didn't really distinguish himself for John John imo.

Tony was a very good fighter, but I struggle to think of guys that have 'best wins' the level of Lopez in the HOF. There are a couple there, but not many.

 

If Nelson came in like he did against Mario Martinez the first time, maybe, but odds on Nelson would do him imo.
