Who Is Most Underrated Heavyweight Of All Time Come And Vote

[JT Rock]

The rock 49 and 0 with the belt still a record not touched

He isn't underrated though.

on the contrary he is overrated IMO

[VictorCharlie]

I dont think Jack Johnson is usually given enough credit for being an alltime great

How can you underate Jack?
There is no doubt that he was one of,if not arguably the greatest Heavyweight of the first half of the century

I agree but he is left off of alot of ATG HW lists or put to low

[TheBESTP4P]

i notice LARRY HOLMES is by far the popular choice here. if u ask me its probably cuz he never got out of ALI's shadow

Yep totally agree.

Didn't Holmes beat Norton fighting with a torn right biceps muscle ?
Anyway, i still believe Holmes is most underrated.
A dominant champion with a excellent jab and great right hand.
Following Ali did not do him much good
After he got beat by Spinks for the second time people started to appreciate him for what he was.
A great and dominant champion

Yes.

Yes, which in fact demonstrates that he is NOT the most underrated heavyweight. I would have thought, logically, that the person with least votes would be the most underrated?

[Punisher136]

in the tyson dvd they talk to holmes like he was just some guy that fought tyson its pretty funny.

I am a bit too young to know how the world rated Holmes at the time of his reign. From what I am reading from you guys, he was apparently very underrated at his time. But I certainly wouldn't say that he is underrated now. Most people agree he is at least a top 5 All Time Great. If someone thinks he should be 2 or 1 that does not make him underrated. You have to give these list a 2-3 rank margin of error. It's an ATG list after all....Just my 2cents.

Can't comment on this poll though. I have not seen most of the fighters on this list. But remember guys, in most cases, the old ones are overrated and the recent ones are underrated.

Same here but i have most of his fights on dvd and they used to slag Holmes off something rotten but i do agree i think boxing fans over last few years have realized now Holmes is top 5 hw of all time.

[headson]

lennox lewis is underated because of his skills and probaly 10 years from now new fans wont know much of him

no doubt larry holmes is the most underrated.

this might sond a little funky but ezzard charles is also underated

[RiZo]

Larry Holmes and Chris Byrd.

[DarkDestroyer]

I must agree with Headson
Ezzard Charles deserves more recognition

Haha, such insight!

Holmes was underrated at the time. I dont think he is so much so in recent years.

[LegendBoxing65]

Michael Moorer was not underrated . If people thought he was terrible then he was overrated.
