Some of the best active boxers most fans have never heard of:

Some great past boxers that most people haven't heard of are Yuri Arbachakov, Jung-Koo Chang and Jiro Watanabe. Generally alot of the smaller fighters around the 105-118 classes get underrated, especially those not from the US.

 

thats because no one wants to watch two little guys the size of 6th graders fight on tv.

Gennady Golovkin - 13 (10 KO) - 0. Olympian and MW World Champion in 2004. Has an immaculate amateur record

Mads Larsen - 50 (KO 37) - 2. Two defeats where one was on a cut and the other was a highly dubious loss to Ottke in Germany. Veteran. Clear top 10-15 SMW, but because he is not American very few would put him in their top 15 because they have never heard of him. If he was american he would be seen as the top US contender ahead of Green, Lacy etc.

Andre Ward - 16 (KO 11) - 0. Olympic Gold LHW. He is American, so he will get some spotlight, but so far he is still under the radar for most people. He is spectacular and upcoming p4p boxer.

 

Speak for yourself, me and many other boxing fans really enjoy watching the lower weight classes.

 

ever heard or seen IBO welterweight champ Isaac Hlatswayo?

his record is 28-1 with the loss coming from kendall holt

 

I think you mean Andre Ward. There are actually threads about him in this forum as we speak.

Mads Larsen is quite well known, not sure wht you are talking about. Not that highly regarded because he isn't that good. Was used as a sparring partner for Kessler against Calzaghe from memory.

 

Koki Kameda

 

Who, in your oppinion, would win in a fight between Larsen and Lacy?

and who of the two has gotten most limelight?

 

I've seen him, he's got good skills and a tight guard but lacks power. He's a decent contender that would give most fighters a bit of trouble, although Holt did own him.

 

you must have seen him against medley then since your from aus? do you think he'd beat anyone at the top 10 at 140 or 147?

 

Ward appears to have potential. I'm not yet convinced, but I'm paying attention!

 

That's about right.

A typical high risk low reward type fighter. I think a fight with Hatton didn't eventuate for those reasons.

 

wow. how ignorant.
