more overrated: gatti or mayorga?

How is Mayo overrated? He beat 6 heads Lewis, who had a title at the time. He beat Forrest twice, who beat Mosley twice. He lost a close fight to Spinks while trying to unify the titles. If anything Gatti is overrated. Who has he beaten? I dont get that. How can Gatti be overrated? For ever one person that says they like him and his style, there are atleast 5 people that come back with how talentless he is..so ordinary and fails to come thru when up against a real challenger..if anything he is put down way too frequently, which I'd say is the very opposite of overrated.

there is no way either of them are over-rated. everyone knows Mayorga is a one dimensional fighter so how can he be over-rated fighter? also how is gatti over-rated when ppl always pick at his flaws like his defense and how he forgets technique when he goes to war. or his stamina or how he cuts easily. whoever sed they're over-rated is kinda dumb

I agree that Mayorga is extremly overrated but how can Gatti be overratted when most people don't think he's that good. He is extremly popular for how good his is, but thats not being over-rated. Thats a good point! So many people are quick to say hes overrated, and yet just as many talk about how average he is..how he's not a great fighter, etc..If everyone was saying he was extremely talented and an all time great, then he might be overrated..but too many are eager to bash him for his limitations. I think he's exciting as hell, and so do many others and all of those particular people really look forward to Gatti fights..so maybe thats why he seems 'overrated' to some. He's not overrated, and neither is the hype that usually surrounds his upcoming fights, cause he always delivers an exciting fight. Mayorga is very overrated, I think. He is little more than a street fight thug which is good for the tough streets in his country, but not so good in the ring. He beat Forrest once, but was completely outboxed in the rematch. He will be outboxed every time when his opponet is a skilled technician, unless he manages to land that powerful right, which I think is not only his biggest asset, it's also about the only thing he has going for him.

ya How can you say either guy is overrated? Mayorga was the welterweight champion and is exciting too watch. Gatti, well, tell me one fighter ever who is exciting as Gatti, plus hes a two-time champion. Both these guys bring it and both are warriors. Whoever started this thread is a moron. exactly wait for people who say their over rated, none of these guys r even tope 10 p4p so how are they over rated

Mayorga is an overratted fighter and so is Gatti, however they bring entertainment to the sport and that is why we will always pay the $$ to watch them.

ya but u watch his fights, dont you? :cool:

re mayorga is more overrated, he can't even box right

None of them are overrated who cares if they aint the best What about Pernell Whitaker, Chris Byrd, Antonio Tarver, Kassim Ouma, Winky Wright, etc. Their good fighters, but their BORING!! Would u rather watch Arturo Gatti bang it out toe to toe with some other guy and watch them take brutal shots, or would u rather watch Pernell Whitaker use his defensive stlye to outbox em. I'd rather see Gatti vs anyone. Gatti is the shit!!! Kassim Ouma boring?

none of the above! talking about overrated, if you think they are they must retire or quit because they are not qualified! that's it......with no question!

Gatti overrated? lol

Neither one of them are overrated imo. Making entertaing fights for the fans doesn't mean they are world beaters. I recognize that there are fights that they should both lose, and they do. spot on did jim lampley say before the tito fight that for the right moeny mayorga would probally fight at heavyweight to? lol ill watch mayorga whereever meh gatti is ok no way can he be overrated but ill only watch him if he is fighting ward or being whipped by DLH and maybe fighting kosta

I don't think anyone rate those guys very high...? But everbody agrees that they're both extremely exciting to watch, hence they get popular. But that doesn't translate into overrated...

Gatti is a bit overrated. He is never going to get past the Mayweathers, Cottos, and Harrises of the 140lbs division. With that said, he isn't as bad as some people portray him to be. He will give any of them a good fight, he just won't win. I don't think Mayo is overrated at all. He just had no business fighting at 160lbs. Remember, he was the legit 147lbs undisputed champ.

ya both of these guys are overrated...who do u think is the most...mayorga knocked forest out in 1 match and was outboxed in the 2nd match with forest eventhough he got the decision then he was outboxed by spinks then got smacked around by trinidad..like mosley, mayorga hasnt won a fight in a couple of years to be honest i say their evenly overrated..mayorga will never be champ again..hes too small for 160..wright ouma simms would beat him easily and now that mosley and de la hoya are back at 147 i dont see him beating them or maybe judah by a lucky punch Why do boxers get SO much criticism? They all work so hard for where they get, and people find a reason to give them all shit.

I agree that Mayorga is extremly overrated but how can Gatti be overratted when most people don't think he's that good. He is extremly popular for how good his is, but thats not being over-rated.

I like both of them I can't say gatti is overrated cause I just find his fights too damn entertaining.
