    Everyones favourite past time on this forum is downplaying fighters abilitys, records etc. Throwing out the over rated/over hyped line.

    So which fighter do you think is under rated, which fighter do you like that nobody else seems to?

    Del Boy Chisora for me, I suspect its his antics more than anything that gets him the bad press :thumbsup

    I seem to have serious man love for Jack Johnson (I rate him as the 3rd greatest HW of all time which is very high).

    Unsuprisingly, I also rate Jimmy Wilde very highly p4p (in my top 20).

    Nowdays, I really rate Kevin Mitchell highly, and i still think Degale can become a world champion (but lets not get into that)

    tends to get a bit of **** for his stay busy fights but you can't argue with his record against the top contenders.

    Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

    Many people chastise him for absolutely nothing except for his name. He was getting pathetically labelled as a ''fraud'' when he was a mere prospect, with no real reason. Yeah, he's had an abundance of professional fights against relative nobodies, because 1) he had ZERO amateur experience and 2) because he turned pro at very early age.

    I don't particularly ''rate'' him I suppose, but I'd like to think I'm a bit more realistic about him than many people. I take him for what he is, a fringe world class middleweight who has ample time to improve(which he has been doing on a fight-by-fight basis) and plenty of potential for that time to be worth it. Added to that he's very fun to watch. And that's what everybody should view him as really, of course he's not a ''world'' champion, but how many fighters genuinely are? His name, nor the fact that he holds a meaningless belt should really be held against him, he's a very likeable fighter in my opinion.

    Agree with your post. A bit mainstream for you though.
