Yet, he lost to Mayweather clearly in their rematch, but Floyd is overrated? Constipated logic son.Originally posted by check hook View PostYou have JMM and Castillo in your underrated list, and surprise surprise Mayweather, who has actually beaten both of them on your overrated list. It's also even more hilarious as Floyd beat Castillo at his best weight as the "supposed greatest" ever in that weight class. Also consider what JMM just did to MP and it becomes even funnier.
Clearly Floyd was right about the boxing dynamic when he said "damn i wish i was Mexican"Originally posted by check hook View PostSo what exactly is the key point? Is he overrated or underrated??? Are you/him trying to imply he is only overrated above 135 and not at 35 and below? If that's the case why would he be on the underrated list? His body of work can't concurrently be underrated and overrated?
Above 135, meaning after he had beaten Castillo, Corrales, Hernandez etc, he's saying Floyd has been overrated and that for someone with only a handful of fights in over five years, he still gets too much praise, especially as the P4P #1 guy. Not hard to understand.
With only a handful of fights since 2007, there are many other fighters who have done better work, against better fighters and done more of it, but he still gets too much consideration as the number one p4p guy for fights he had ten years and more ago.
If his work against the best has dropped off dramatically since 2007, should he still be considered the default p4p number one guy when other fighters have much greater wins and more of them over the last 5 years?
He's being overrated as the p4p number one guy now for stuff that was done years and years ago. Get it?

Wasted? thats a different discussion and his career isnt over to say it yet. I'm talking about skills in the ring not negative press nor the path he has taken nor based on who boxingscene posters praise. You clearly agree with me that the guy is talented so I Dont know what criteria you base your overrated/underated.

I think Ricky Burns is underrated. He is continually written off prior to fights but keeps coming up with the goods. I really hope he gets in amongst the big fights next year, but I think he will have to leave old fish eyes to do so.
Overrated - Miguel Cotto. Always seems to be talked about in the 'elite' category when he isn't at that level. When he steps up he comes up short.
