    I don't think he is that underrated, but Juan Manuel Lopez makes me think future ATG.

    I agree with the 1st 2 posts Clottey,Valero also Tim Bradley in my opinion is on the fringes of the top 10 Pfp and I know most people dont have him that high. Also I think Andre Dirrell is gonna get even better he might surprise some people in the tournament. His running turned a lot of fans off, but i still think he was robbed big time. I think with a couple adjustments he will be a very good fighter. I also think Angulo is gonna be as good as people thought before the Cintron fight.

    I have the exact opposite opinion of him.

    IMO:
    *Joan Guzman- consistently wins high risk/low reward bouts, very talented and skilled
    *Ivan Calderon- yes, he has no power. Get over it. He's a virtuoso who is ridiculously undersized in many bouts.
    *Cesar Canchila- He was caught early and couldnt recover in his rematch with Segura, but this kid is seriously skilled and will be making noise for years to come.
    *Roman Gonzalez- This kid could develop into something special.
    *Cory Spinks- fights anyone, skilled, and hell for any one to fight.

    Totally disagree on Clottey.

    I'd say Lopez or perhaps Berto.

    Antonio Escalante- Very good fighter I saw him in person (my first live fight so I am a bit biased :D) but he has skills that can take him to the top.

    Tavoris Cloud- I think he is a good fighter that deserves some hype, but nobody hypes up Cloud. So, I feel he is underrated.

    Jean Pascal- He is an accomplished fighter. Was successful at Super Middleweight and now fights at Light Heavyweight. He is 2-0 and shows all-around great skills. I don't think he gets enough praise.

    Ivan Calderon- Great fighter and doesn't get enough credit due to him fighting in the two lowest weight classes in all of Boxing. (Minimumweight and Light Flyweight)

    Ok i forgot about Guzman,I actually had him in my top 10pfp before he dissapeared,Also Tavaris Cloud ive been impressed with him since he beat Julio Gonzalez but dont hear much talk about him.

    Strange, why is no one mentioning Dawson. Maybe he's not underrated, just underappreciated! No matter what he does he is slagged off.
