Not the most underrated probably but a fair few guys who came to mind who rarely get a fair crack of the whip in discussions.

 

Truly underrated, and I think the term "bleeder" is the reason for that, as well as the close decisions that he won. Both reasons are inconsequential as Galindez was a great champ.

 

I'd say Ahumada, despite coming off terribly in his series with Galindez, may be more underrated

Mugged against Foster.

 

:yep my bad

 

Junior middleweight goes much further back then either of those and has been graced with much more quality fighters. I nearly ****ed super middle off but funnily enough I did have a shortlist for cruiser: Burnett and Camel.

Boudouani got in because Julio Cesar Vasquez gets more air time but he's also very underrated for a solid run.

Byrd probably does get a fair bit of love considering what he achieved.

So I'll take Mike Weaver instead.

 

Flea you left out a certain glamorous division.

 

I don't even want to acknowledge its existence.

 

Looking over the thread neither did anyone else.

 

Baby Joe Gans
Gorilla Jones
Harry B. Smith
Kid Norfolk

 

If you don't think he stands a chance shows how much you know about boxing....

 

Bantam- Joltin' Jeff Chandler (I have no doubt that Flea will be here soon to validate his worthiness with me!)
MW- Gene Fullmer

 

How do u reconcile Soose and Bolden easily outboxing Zale??

 

I guess you missed the irony son

:yep

 

much better pick IMO
