Well if you put it like that he scored 9 KO in his last 11 in which he was robbed against Gorres and he was KOed against Donaire so basically except for the draw with Gorres and the loss with Donaire he KOed all his last 9 opponents.Enough
He did get a lot of recognition for his Ko wins prior to the Donaire fight, in fact some of his dumb fans here were actually making a case its possible for him to move up to Middleweight and fight Jermain Taylor for the middleweight title and they were using Roy Jones as an example that it can be done. But now after the donaire fight it seems like almost everybody jumped ship, and rightfully so.
A lot of people gained more respect for JT after Pavlik/Taylor I. I think it was the intensity of that fight that did it. I was a GREAT fight. Losing a war usually garners more respect among fans than winning a boring fight.
Offcourse he can't fight Taylor he's a super flyweight!!!!But the question says who is underrated on ESB, I think Vic is
His fight vs. Winky wasn't boring. That was a pretty intense fight. Winky decides not to fight the 12th round and everyone hates Jermaine. Jermaine gets knocked senseless against Pavlik and he becomes one of ESB's most beloved fighters. This is a complete 180 from the attitude towards Taylor befor the Pavlik fight.
Mikkel Kessler Arthur Abraham Paul Williams Amir Khan Jose Armando Santa Cruz Edwin Valero Chris John Steve Molitor
Calzaghe. And from the list I voted Roy Jones. I think he's gonna surprise a lot of people on here come November 8th.
Like I said, from that list it would be Kermit Cintron. I don't think Cintron has below average skills, he has a lot of things going for him that would give him a chance against any 147lb fighter currently active, except for maybe Margarito. He has concussive knockout power, and it is a consistant weapon going by his knockout ratio. However, you're missing the point. I am not saying Cintron is an A level fighter, but he was reduced to almost journeyman status when he was defeated by Margarito for a second time. Cintron is far from a journeyman, and the last time I checked, nobody was saying the same about Berto, other than he was untested, which he is. Cintron has to be rated to be overrated, and the vast majority here don't rate him. It's him for me.
How can Rocky be overrated when he beat undefeated undisputed heavyweight champion Creed in a rematch, knocked out undefeated undisputed heavyweight champion Lang in a rematch... the Drago win is suspect becuase Drago had only 1 pro fight, but he did KILL Creed inside 2 rounds... then, an inactive Balboa in his 50s lost a close split decision against undefeated undisputed heavyweight champion Dixon top 10 atg easily
