Fujita beating Kerr was surprising to everyone. Kerr was #1 in the world at the time (maybe #2 to Vovchanchin), and Fujita was just another inexperienced pro wrestler. One of the biggest upsets ever.
And Fujita has continued to improve. He has become a very complete fighter.
I definatly think he consistantly gets left off of the top 10 lists too much. The man is a top 10 heavyweight PERIOD! Amazing solid puncher, off-the-scale chin, and super ground game. He will always have a big fan in me...
There are even different levels of underrated guys.
Guys like Fujita (who people have seen fight and do really well against top level guys still doesn't get his credit)
Then there are others that people just don't get to see who are some of the best in the world (Masanori Suda, Mike Pyle)
And then there are others who are fucking machines, but just haven't been able to prove it in the ring and nobody will give them a chance to because of past fight (Brandon Lee Hinkle)
