Whose a boxer most overlook you deem great for reasons you have to always explain... (please do) Mine is the Aussie middleweight Darcy! The man was twenty one when he passed with over forty fights and multiple wins against ranked opponents in such a short time a big what if for me the fact his opposition was so steep (relatively) is amazing.
Hiroyuki Ebihara. Fought at strong era. Beat most of his opponents at their prime, beat them very convicingly (often by KO). Didn't lose fairly at his prime.
So you like fighters who hold their hands up like a tea pot's spout with the knuckles facing their opponent? Interesting.
Timothy Bradley. Outside of Lomanchenko and Usyk, his conditioning regime and use of sports science, sports medicine and specialized conditioning makes him probably the fittest, most explosive fighter ever created. Looked great too.
Freddie Steele looks like a million bucks in the footage I've seen of him. He's not really 'hidden' though, more like forgotten.
Teddy Yarosz is no doubt a top 15 MW for me, and depending on the day, I could have him top ten. I also have him around top 75 P4P. Wins over Billy Conn, Archie Moore, Lloyd Marshall, Ken Overlin, Lou Brouillard, Vince Dundee, Babe Risko, and more. He also beat some of those guys multiple times. He went 59-0-1 before his first loss. He looks absolutely outstanding on film. I'd have picked him to beat Steele if they'd have fought in the mid-30s. Spectacular little fighter, who is largely forgotten in the bigger MW picture.
Archie Moore as a HW. For some odd reason he losses H2h to everyone despite beating a long list of contenders and different styles of all different weights
What? Who says Archie loses to everyone? Outside of Charles and on an off chance, Tunney, I doubt anyone beats him.
Joe Brown. He had one of the best LW title reigns in history. He gets overlooked because the champion who succeeded him (Ortiz) was one of the few guys that put together a better one.
Terry Norris for me. Plenty of people are aware of his skill but most don’t see him as a great. He had a good title reign and has some pretty big names on his resume.
