currently would be
IBF Lightweight Champion Jesus Chavez
Chris Byrd
At the Moment--Baldomir
Past--Michael Moorer as Heavyweight
Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon
;D
Kessler by miles.
He would dominate MW and LHW too

Eusebio Pedroza at feather.
as a champ and currently i would say margarito.. but im not sure whether he isnt getting the respect he deserves, or whether people are actually ducking him, or he just hasnt been looking for the right fights and called out people that he just isnt in league to fight,
i say he takes the williams fight and then chases winky or floyd or whatever?
jesus chavez is pretty much unknown to the casual fan also, especially over here,
i know theres a few others...
laters peace
steve collins
frankie randall
riddick bowe
tony tucker
larry holmes
iran barkley
julian jackson
mike mccallum
Calzaghe?
Before the Lacy fight, no one gave him any respect as a champ.
CC, nice list... McCallum especially, I think he may be the most underrated fighter, period. Not really sure about Barkley though since he was the luckiest SOB alive when he beat Hearns, and he never followed it up with anything else.Quote:

Right now I would say Zsolt Erdei( WBO Light Heavyweight)...
cc back yea barkley only thing he done after was lose razor thin decision to duran which could of gone either way and beat shot hearns but i wouldnt be to sad about doing that :lickish:Quote:

definitely I would say Mike McCallum. was always over shadowed by the Fabulous 4 (Hagler, Leonard, Duran and Hearns)
On his day his mastery would have had a chance to beat all of them
meldrick taylor is underrated my god he had one of quickest hands ive ever seen he could slug shame that fight ruined him
