    With his baffling boxing style and terrific defensive skills, Maxie Rosenbloom seemed to give just about all of his opponents fits. So many of his losses and wins seemed to be in very close bouts. Could that be partly do to his lack of punching power?

    Yeah, he was a slap, hold hit, and run type, with a very good chin and defense. Rosenbloom also was accused of fixed fights.

    How quick were his feet is my question? Could he have been a bit like Harry Greb?

    The way to beat him was to pressure him with superior punching power, I think

    Based on that list, yes I think he's underrated. Its also worth mentioning that he was stopped only once in a 116 fights which is almost unheard of for that number.
