    Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali were pretty good.

    Antonio "Magic Man" Tarver.

    He's gets no respect. He looked renewed in the Woods fight. I saw the extra snap and quickness in his punches and movement that i hadn't seen since his fights with RJJ. And that Tarver is tough for anyone.

    Good list, half of the guys you named I barely even heard of, alot of lower weight guys I could see.

    I think Eddie Chambers is pretty good, strong, fast jab, good overall skill level, could give a couple top notch Heavyweights a tough fight.

    It depends on "underrated by who?", but I think Calderon doesn't get enough credit. Too bad he's past his prime now....

    One more person mentions Clottey and I'm gonna throw up. This guy has been steadily overrated since his loss to Margo.

    Rocky Marciano knocked out a bunch of dudes. He was pretty tough.
