Top 3 underrated heavyweight boxers.

1..Ronaldo Snipes...pushed Holmes close.Career went backwards then run of wins saw him mentioned as opponent for Tysons title until injury forced end of career.
2..Tyrell Biggs. 15-0 Including some good names..Tillis Sims Snipes Bey...until ran into peak Tyson.Also ran into peak unbeaten Damiani Mason Bowe Lewis. Olympic and World amateur SuperHW champ.
3...Joe Frazier. Won the biggest fight arguably of all time..but lived to some degree in the shadow of the man he beat.

 

I think a few smaller guys, have perhaps been overlooked in some ways, because they were small.

If Bob Fitzsimmons had weighed 190lbs, and done exactly the same things at heavyweight, I suspect we would be seeing him on the lower end of some top 20 lists.

By the same token, you could make a case for Harry Greb being one of the best heavyweight contenders, who never held the title.

A 190lb heavyweight who had beaten and lost to the same people as Mickey Walker, would likely be regarded as one of the better contenders of that era.

Its worth thinking about.
