The Most Over-hyped Boxer In The Last 5 Years Is.....

Joe Calzaghe. Come on, from Europe to p4p n5???? fighting a 43 year old Hopkins? But Arthur Abraham is the next guy trust me, and he'll probably outdo Calzaghe.

But not, in fact, anywhere near good enough to mix it with Joe Calzaghe, let alone KO him, as was widely predicted. That's why it was hype. His ass didn't look that great against Robin Reid IMO... I haven't seen a ton of Lacy, but I have seen him in against Lowe, Pope (he looked good in those two, but they were nobodies at the beginning of his career), Reid, Calzaghe and Manfredo. None of the latter three were even remotely impressive IMO. The Reid one was slightly okay, but, seriously... he misses a lot of punches.

lacy, andy lee, bojado, judah, fields, harrison, margarito, calzaghe, hatton and cotto... Cotto is not as good as people think, he is just PR's best and they are the greatest fans in the world... Anyone ever see wilfred Benitez fight when he won the welterweight championship in san juan??? Most electric crowd in all of sport..EVER!!!

Margarito wins this overrated award hands down, thats not to call him a crap fighter because he is good but just not an elite level like some of his fans think he is. :boxing: I gotta agree with Margarito ever since he named himself the most feared boxer.

Jeff Lacy N.1#!!! I would include Junior Witter and Chad Dawson in there aswell.

Lacy was quite good. I mean, he had his flaws, but he was real good before the Calzaghe fight. But not, in fact, anywhere near good enough to mix it with Joe Calzaghe, let alone KO him, as was widely predicted. That's why it was hype.

JEFF LACY :banana:

...Charlie Zelenoff

Uhhh... Everyone in this thread is nothing compared to... JEFF LACY That guy was considered to be this guy who had some sparring sessions in order to unify the division and then move up to LHW and kill everyone there too. totally agree. :boxing:

Mayweather..............

Gotta be Lacy.

Man you mothafuckas is ignorant.. a former world champ as most overrated is obscene unless they beat a bum or won a vancant and loss every fight after.. judah has shown us he can be a great fighter in each of his last 4-5 fight the first 3-4 rounds and before that he was killing *****z except kosta... other then that the most overrated fighter has been either Diego rest in peace my friend corrales, or ODLH IMO, he's only beat old past there prime fighters (chavez, Whitaker) or lost fights he should have won, his popul;arity is because of amateur exploits pro debuts and promotional advantages... jeff Lacy is third and Tyson despite being my fav a top 5 overrated and top 5 underrated his defintely in the top 10 HW ever and top 10 Under and over rated ever! thats it for me

Zab Judah. Actually zab judah should be the answer to a question like, "who the current riddick bowe?"... zab judah has a ton of ability/speed; etc. If he APPLIED himself more he could be a top fighter...same things as bowe...all the ability/potential but no motivation to do so. judah just looks like an emotionally tired fighter.

This is a hard topic. But i gotta go with LAcy and Toney

Andy Lee....

of the top of my head sergio mora never beat anybody. Zab Judah has lost against every known opponent. Jeff lacy was hyped but got demolished by the best light heavyweight out there.

It makes me smile that everyone who posted after me agreed with me (except for one person... lame ass).

It's definitely margarito.

Jeff "The next Mike Tyson" Lacy Hands down..

Uhhh... Everyone in this thread is nothing compared to... JEFF LACY That guy was considered to be this guy who had some sparring sessions in order to unify the division and then move up to LHW and kill everyone there too.
