    Well seeing as you asked....;) Mancini isn't underrated, he's just a good pressure fighter who, in his prime, lost his two biggest fights one of which was against an (admittedly ATG) boxer moving up from 130, the other was to Bramble who probably WAS underrated ....just to play Devils Advocate!;)

    Underrated: James Toney at heavyweight

    Overrated: John Mugabi

    Toney is a former middleweight, and has accomplished more than any middleweight in recent years has above 200 lbs.

    John Mugabi had a tough fight with Hagler, and he knocked out a lot of guys that were not exactly top notch. Oh, he also got knocked out by Norris. I think that pretty much somes it up.
