I think he does not get a lot of credit because he was a boring fighter, and that was compounded by that fact that he followed the most excited boxer of all time, and preceeded mike tyson(who is anything but boring)

Regardless of how good a fighter is, who wants to see a heavyweight win a 15 round decision with a skillful jab.
