    I think he was underrated and right people behind him could have gone further and more well known than he was

    I never thought jerry quarry was given the praise he deserved he was a lot better than he was given credit for and always in good fights

    Also the only man apart from Holmes to box Ali and Tyson. Irrelevant to the thread but good for a pub quiz.

    Gene Tunney is fantastically overrated as a heavyweight.

    Joe Mesi would be a serious US contender if he was prime now. Injury halted his career early.
