    We all know the great Hall Of Famer Mike McCallum is underated by the

    general public but everyone on this fourm knows how great he is

    My question is what boxers do you feel don't get the proper

    respect on this message board

    I honestly think that every great fighter has at least one cheer-leader on this board. But Sugar Ray Leonard maybe - maybe the Klits.

    And i'm the only guy (apart from maybe TBooze) who rates Burley high enough :deal

    Mike Mccallum's pretty underrated on this forum. In fact, I don't know if I've ever seen a thread devoted to him..

    Leonard, no one ever really mentions the guy to talk greatness. He was good for sure.

    Felix Trinidad. If he had retired after the Joppy fight we would now be discussing his ATG-ness.

    I think i lurve you!!!!

    SRL was a great choice for this particular forum, can't agree with others saying McCallum, he gets oodles of milage in here.

    I'm surprised by the repeated mention of Sugar Ray Leonard, I'd always assumed he was well-regarded by most on the board.

    Factor in the haters and detractors and he's very underrated in here. Between latter fight negotiations and the fact that he's beaten one of most everyones faves and he doesn't go real well.

    Well I know there are a handful of vocal trolls who like to lump Leonard in with such mediocrities as Joe Louis, but I didn't think anyone took them seriously.
