    Well I was sorta getting at them being underappreciated in comparison to their contemporaries, for example: Pacquiao is underappreciated next to Mayweather, and Saddler next to Pep.

    Hopkins is very underrated on here imo based on almost nobody liking him.

    Canto is undermentioned fullstop, but it's moreso the division he fought at.

    Won the title in February against Freddie Cochrane but never made a defence because of an 'aching nose'. Robinson won the vacant title in September.

    SM - Liles. Overshadowed by big stars Eubank, Benn, Toney, Jones Jr, Collins.

    MW - Reggie Johnson. Dropped and looked to have beaten Toney. Beat Collins and Parks back to back when noone would fight them.
