    I think Clottey is definitely under rated and obviously avoided....but I don;t think he beat Cotto. he could've but didnt take advantage of the situation. That being said, I don't think Clottey will get the biggest fights because he is too risky for the limited draw that he is.

    Sergio Martinez and,... what's his name?... Pacajow? ...Pacquiao. That's it. Nobody ever talks about that guy but I swear, he's really quite accomplished. I never even saw a thread about him before. At least I've seen some people mention Martinez.

    There are some "Euro bums" who don't get much credit on the boards. Adamek, Erdai, Sturm, Fury Tyson, and others, who are pretty good, but not yet tested on the other side of the pond.

    My vote is also for Victor Ortiz. You think he lacks aggression:huh If anything thats why he lost if he would have boxed and fought more patiently the knockout would have came,he went overboard and ended up getting kod himself. He fought a stupid fight against a big puncher. He has boxing skills he should use them more. I think the kid is a big time puncher but,that doesnt mean he should be a one dimensional bomber.

    Okay, so I wouldn't say the following guys are FAR better, but these guys are not getting the proper credit from ESB, either because people don't think they are any good and criticize them, or because they are pretty much unknown/overlooked quality. From HW to SW: Chagaev, Arreola, Cunningham, Huck, Erdei, Dawson, Bute, Dirrell, Andrade, Bika, Gevor, Pavlik, Zbik, Martinez, Mundine, Dzinziruk, Spinks, Clottey, Collazo, Bradley, Khan, Maidana, Diaz, Malignaggi, Guzman, Funeka, Elio Rojas, Caballero, Nishioka, Poonsawat, Hasegawa, Yonnhy Perez, Darchinyan, Donaire, Naito, Wonjongkam, Roman Gonzalez.
