True story
For the Cooney-Holmes fight,President Reagan had a special line set up in Cooney's dressing room,to congratulate him on his win.
There was no such line in Holmes dressing room
Hard to get more underated then that

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Thats because Holmes didnt do drugs

Anyone who stops Machen inside the 1st then knocks out a young Patterson has to be given some credit... Johanasson might of done well with his carrer had he trained properly for the rematch.

Also, Ernie Terrell seems to stand out a lot... He beat good fighters in their primes.
Fighters like Williams, Foley, Machen, Foster and Chuvalo...
Really only got badly beat by a pissed off, prime Ali in 'that' fight.

Ironic really that Ali was asking his own name

You would have thought he'd have learned by what happened to Patterson who had that exactly same clever idea of calling him Cassius in the lead up to their fight

[BoxingGorilla]

I voted for Bowe. He isn't mentioned as much as he should be.

...I've never heard that.

Where's Sam Langford Never got offered a title fight vs Johnson....an old time Langford offered to fight Jack Dempsey but was said to be "too tough" for Dempsey at the time.

Even when Holmes was champion, defending his title successfully more than any heavyweight, the public never fell in love with him. When he fought Gerry Cooney in 1982, he was an underdog. In the ring, he was introduced second. President Ronald Reagan had a phone line installed in Cooney's dressing room, but not in the champion's. And the fight became a battle between black and white, an unfair turn to both fighters.

Lennox Lewis definiately aint underated....hes overated if anything by alot of people.

[Beanflicker]

Larry Holmes is mine... I have a very High opinion of Mr. Holmes. I have him as my #2 HW of all time, behind Ali (and yes, ahead of guys like Louis, Marciano, ect).

[BoomBoom]

Ray Mercer was underrated imo

[Taeth]

Are you kidding me? He would have beaten any other heavyweight except maybe Ike and prime Tyson more times than not.

[Punisher136]

I'm saying patterson despite the fact that alot of people think he wasn't a legit heavyweight fighter to begin with. He fought in a division that he wasn't built for and still had very good success and he fought the best competition the division could probably ever offer.

[TheBESTP4P]

id like to add both:

the President(IKE)

and

the Terminator(TUA)

to that list

but if its an all time list man theres hella lot more going all the way back yo
