    Emanuel Augustus, I think he gets underappreciated because of his record but his record really is misleading because he was/is a warrior who really was quite skilled.

    Funny thing about patterson is that people liked him quite a bit during his championship iirc, he was very well known. losses to Ali and Liston have really kept him from being known/appreciated more today.
