Yeah, Joe Louis was truly great too.

You know, a fighter who is often underated is James Jeffries. He seems to be judged too much on his fight with Jack Johnson when he was over-the-hill. He was almost impossible to hurt, had un-matchable stamina, he was big enough to fit in any era of boxing and he was faster than he's usually given credit for. I read a very interesting article not long ago (and I can't find it right now) which made some very solid points for Jeffries being the greatest heavyweight of all time.
