World Boxing Magazines Most Overrated & Underrated Boxers

I got the World Boxing Magazine the other day and they had an article about the most overrated and underrated boxers. They have an overrated and underrated boxer from HW to flyweight. Here they are. HW: (Over) Shannon Briggs, (Under) Ruslan Chagaev CW: (Over) O'Neil Bell, (Under) Clinton Woods SMW: (Over) Peter Manfredo Jr, (Under) Mikkel Kessler MW: (Over) Jermain Taylor, (Under) Sakio Bika JMW: (Over) John Duddy, (Under) Roman Karmazin WW: (Over) Antonio Margarito, (Under) Sergei Dzinziruk JWW: (Over) Ricy Hatton, (Under) Junior Witter LW: (Over) Diego Corrales, (Under) Joel Casamayor Feather Weight: (Over) Edwin Valero, (Under) Steve Moliter Flyweight: (Over) Irene Pacheco, (Under) Vic Darchinyan. Some of them i agree with and some I don't. I was wondering what your guys opinion of this is. Hmmm.. well I think Most of the Overated guys are Overated.. But not THE most overated In the heavies for example I would pick Toney over Briggs.. Fully agree with Taylor being there. Kessler is NOT underated But slightly overated The Big one for me is Hatton and Witter.. Witter tops my list of Overtaed fighters in ANY division.. while Hatton.. What were people expecting??? He was never packaged and sold as the next Floyd Mayweather.. You were told he is tough and finds ways to win... which is what he delivered.. he is way underated.. cause his fights dont look like Mayweather Gatti

Junior Witter is underated. Hes simply not very exiting to your average fan. but hes slick and quick and doesnt get hit too often. I would like to see him fight Ricky Hatton which is IMO a true 50/50 fight.

OVERRATED: margarito JT JMM flame me! LOL! FATTON UNDERRATED darchi harris

it sad too see someone saying Corrales is overrated. the guy outpunched a punch, outboxed ad boxer and outbrawl a brawler thant those are the big three lightwieght who are Castillo, Cassamayor and Frietas

Some of them i agree with and some I don't. I was wondering what your guys opinion of this is. Briggs-Who the hell rates him that high? Chagaev-Agreed... O'Neil Bell-Rated just where he should be. Woods-Agreed... Manfredo-Some people(such as myself)think he's going to give Joe some trouble.That's all!I don't think that's overrating him. Kessler-Not underated anymore.. Taylor-Maybe a little overated.. Bika-Not underrated.. Duddy-Not overrated,just has a loyal fanbase.. Karmazin-Definetly underrated... Margarito-Overrated,yes... Hatton-Maybe a bit overrated,but once again,a loyal fanbase. Witter-Agreed... Corrales-Not sure about this one.. Casamayor-A little underrated,yes.. Pacheco-Hasn't been rated too high in years.. Darchinyan-He get's his props from most..

Ivan Calderon is pretty slick and one of the best pure boxers there is. Too bad he fights at straw weight and doesn't get more exposure.

p4p most underated fighter is Ivan Calderon and the most overrated fighter p4p is Ricky Hatton IMO

What about Sergei Dzinziruk? I know he is undefeated and is the WBO champ, but I've never seen him fight or heard much about him. How good is he.

I think Manfredo is underrated because I dont think he is going to be beaten as bad as most people think. I agree with him on Karmazin. Hes a good fighter, and probably should have gotten a rematch with Spinks right away.

Seems to me a lot of guys aren't listed in the right weight class on your list. Yeah I know Corrales and probably John Duddy are not in the right weight class. They really didn't say MW or HW, but they had them in that order, so thats what i figured they would be.

i agree with the valero being overrated. He's exciting and he has a huge punch for the weight, but he can have pretty slow hands and he's all over the place and really isnt a very good fighter. He holds his chin way out, just waiting for a big puncher to smack it. Hes very overrated well, I only saw him fight once, and he isnt used to 12 rounds, I dunno how he fares in the long run.

some of them do, but why is Edwin overrated and Vic underrated? those two are dangerous fighters to any contenders. i agree with the valero being overrated.

I disagree with Vic Darchinyan. Everyone loves ol' Vic. Nobody says a bad word when Vic's name is floatin about a conversation. Saying Vic is underrated is a good thing. Although personally I've yet to see him tested so I think he's abit overrated though we'll see. As far as Hatton and Manfredo go. Definitely both are overrated. Hatton hasn't done shit and looks bad with whatever he does. Manfredo...wtf? Why's he still around when he lost the Contender and both fights with Sergio. This guy has gotten waaaaay to much exposure based on just fans liking him for a reason I've yet to discover. Joe is gonna dismantle him into retirement. :boxing:

Some of them i agree with and some I don't. I was wondering what your guys opinion of this is. An absolute load of rubbish. Kessler is over-rated. Manfredo is under-rated. Hatton is under-rated. Unless your a retard.

Some of them i agree with and some I don't. I was wondering what your guys opinion of this is. I disagree with the majority of this list O'Neil Bell: Nobody is overrating him. Hes a good champion and a very exciting fighter. Just because people look forward to a Bell fight, doesnt mean they overrate him. Peter Manfredo Jr.: OVERATED?!?!?! I've heard nothing but bad things about this guy. He is more underrated then Kessler, who is EXTREMELY OVERATED! Vic Darchinyan: I havent heard one negative thing about this guy. Very good prospect, but how in the world is he underrated? Ricky Hatton: The opposite of Darchinyan, I havent heard one GOOD thing about this guy outside of Jim Lampley and the UK. UNDERRATED The rest of the list i pretty much agree with. Even the Diego Corrales thing, because Corrales has lost 2 in a row, and has dissapointed at the weight. I think he COULD show some good things at welter though

completly disagree with bell being overrated. agree with manfredo and hatton being overrated, and with vic being underrated. i thought that miranda was gonna be on the overrated of the mw....but they are right, he is not overrated =D Yeah i agree with you about Bell. They said it was because he is inactive, stiff, unimaginative, and gets hit too often. And at 32 he is unlikely to learn any new tricks.

Some people on here think that Manfredo actually has a chance against Calzaghe.
