    I've done this one before, but it always engenders interesting verbal slap fights, so I thought I'd revisit it. What, is the history of boxing, do you consider to be underrated and also overrated? Could be a fighter, a famous fight, trainers, anything you want..........I'll start.


    Underrated: Rafael Herrera
    Overrated: Leonard-Duran I (as a fun fight to watch)

    A bit one sided all things considered. A couple of really great rounds, but on the whole, Pryor had the edge.

    Overrated: The Gatti-Ward series.I still don't understand how people have made a great trilogy out of this.One great,and two ordinary,fairly one-sided fights don't make a great trilogy,and yet it's constantly referenced.

    I agree with this. Pryor should have been WAY ahead on the cards. He landed five punches to Arguello's one.
