I think that gives him the underated title.
No, Holmes is pretty well respected too, just not as respected as he would LIKE to be. He wants to be considered the best ever, truth is I could name half a dozen HW fighters off the top of my head that I think would smash him on his best day. He was the absolute ruler of a weak division, not his fault, but facts is facts. There were no monsters lurking for him to prove himself against when he was at his best. Larry also got taken right to the wall by some pretty marginal guys, Reynaldo Snipes comes to mind.
