The give prop's to an underated Fighter thread.

Virgil Hill very tough fighter to watch but he had a HOF career won titles 4 different times even once in his 40s. During his 2 Light Heavyweight title reigns he defended the title 20 times even unifed with Maske and that doesnt include winning the title both times. He is a fantastic 24-6 in title fights.

 

we should have an over-rated thread, starting with the man in your avatar.

Terrific boxer puncher with good power in both hands, great straight right hand and left hook to the body.

Always very calm when under pressure, rarely threw wild shots and had good defence.

Never got the chance to prove himself against the likes of Humberto Gonzales, Michael Carbajal or other champions.

 

Diaconnu. He is so underrated, that the p4p king is embarrassed to fight. Even for a belt and a million, when you have done and proven so much in boxing you don't fight such a no name.

But on a serious note. Olivier Lontchi : super bantamweight
won 16 (KO 6) + lost 0 (KO 0) + drawn 1 = 17

is one of the best prospect in Montreal and few people ever mention him. Promoter around always had troubles finding quality opposition for the small guys. And now that boxing is so popular they don't send them on foreign soil, opting instead to keep them for the undercard.

I still hope he can come through eventually, much more power then is record indicates. Often seems to hold back. Quick, masters all the basics and throws punches in flurrys. Chin is untested.

 

Ranee Ganoy

 

Excellent choice!.......Very good fighter.

Olzubek Nazarov is another underated fighter.

 

koki kameda

 

Mike McCallum definately should have an entry in this thread IMO. Doesn not get nearly enough credit






Sage

 

kirkland is a raw up and coming fighter.

margarito is one of the most amateurish fighters out there, and cotto will explode this myth once and for all.."bro"

 

juan carlos gomez...if given the chance i think he could have become a hw champ

*Notable fight's
Marco Antonio Barrera I : KOed the then-unstoppable Barrera all thought it was officially ruled as a DQ since Barrera's corner jumped on the ring before the end of the count.

Marco Antonio Barrera II: Won a close UD against Barrera 5 months later.

Kennedy McKinney : Came out strong, knocking down McKinney in the third and dominating the first 3 rounds until he punched himself out and got KOed.

Erik Morales (After 3 evenly matched round, Jones got caught by Erik's right hand and went down. Erik finished him moments later in what was a this point considered as his greatest win.)


*Very dangerous at 122.
*Only fighter with Manny Pacquiao to ever stop MAB.
*Could really step his game up when it counted
*Lost to lesser fighter at some points in his career but was also able to hold his own against ATGs and HOFs
