Top 10 most underrated boxers

[Violent Demise]

1. Pernell Whitaker Azumah Nelson
2. Ricardo Lopez
3. Ezzard Charles
4. Wilfredo Benitez
5. Joe Calzaghe Orlando Canizales
6. Larry Holmes
7. Mike McCallum
8. Aaron Pryor Virgil Hill
9. Terry Norris
10. Michael Nunn

Whitaker was never underrated as a boxer. All he did was box. A Whitaker victim, Azumah Nelson I think is very underrated.

Calzaghe? Come on? Canizales is more deserving

Pryor was a fighter, not really a boxer. Hill's boxing skills is one of the reasons his a** is still around

I wouldn't of picked some of them other names, but they are deserving. Since I don't really feel like making a list, I'll agree with this one. Changes included

pryor could box and brawl watch 1st arguello fight when he had to do it in later rounds

I didn't mean boxers in the purest sense, I meant fighters. style is not in debate here

Alright. Still, I don't really think Whitaker was underrated. Pryor? Maybe a little. Not as much as Canizales or Nelson are. As for Calzaghe? Well the thread title says underrated, not overrated. So Calzaghe belongs no where on this list.

As great as whitaker was he is never an immediate name in regards to be considered as one the greatest. Usually a person's immediate thought process conjures up the names roy jones, leonard, duran, ali, ray robinson it is only when one thinks hard that whitaker's name is remembered. I believe his style played a role in his detriment. and as for calzaghe, how many of his fights have you watched, if you are commenting due to his level of opposition then one has to question roy jones's greatness too. Calzaghe is a full packaged fighter who has everything from boxing skills, power, chin, speed, foot movement. He has a right to be on this list I believe because of talent and due to the fact that his greatness fell victim to his shallow division.

Having the full package don't make you great. Donald Curry and Hector Camacho are two guys that had the whole package. Not many people would call them great. And while you question Jones resume, he can still say he beat James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, Virgil Hill. 3 Hall of Famers. Names Calzaghe can not even come close to matching. Joe is a fighter with talent who has a lot to prove. That's it. He's nowhere near great. And he sure as hell, ain't underrated.
