UNDERRATED:
Joshua Clottey - he's the best kept secret in the welterweight division, he's a tough as nails southpaw, very good fighter, gave Margarito a really tough fight with a broken hand, don't be surprised if he KO's Zab Judah in his next fight.
Adrian Diaconu - he is the WBC interim champ, he's an exciting dangerous fighter with good power and underrated technical skills...Kinda fights like a light heavyweight Tyson...I think he can upset Dawson.
Herman Ngoudjo - solid underrated fighter, many people thought he beat Malignaggi in their fight a few months back...He should get another win under his belt against M'Baye on the weekend.
Andreas Kotelnik - Kotelnik is the WBA champ champ at 140, he's arguably best technical fighter at light welterweight, he's a well schooled tough fighter, throws very crisp, accurate punches and has decent power.
OVERRATED:
Ricky Hatton - Hatton is a little too overrated by his fans, he was really overrated before the Mayweather fight....Hatton has been going downhill ever since he beat Kostya Tszyu, his alcoholic, fatman lifestyle has to be effecting him...Hatton has poor defence and has a bad habit of running into punches, his punch resistance seems to be diminishing...Mayweather exposed Hatton bigtime.
Edison Miranda - He was supposed to be a Middleweight Tyson, a feared power punching monster...Kelly Pavlik destroyed and exposed Miranda as a one dimensional fighter that can't fight going backwards.
David Haye - another british hypejob, his fans think he is a god and claim he will clean out the HW division...Haye hasn't really beaten anybody, he's a very vulnerable fighter with a lot of weaknesses and will most likely be a failure at heavyweight and get exposed.
Tye Fields - I know it's a just a joke, but I'm sick of the jokes, they got old 5 months ago....The truth is Tye Fields is a straight up BUM, he's a big ogre that swings for the fences, he has no technique or defense, his chin is wide open to get clocked and I predict Monte Barrett will tag Fields and hurt him bad...Hopefully Barrett beats Fields so these lame jokes will come to an end.
What fighters do you think are underrated and overrated??
I think Margarito is one of the most overrated fighter coming from Mexico and in recent history.
underrated is Christan Mijares that guy should be a p4p top 5
True all he does is throw jabs and an occasional right hand, wouldn't even crack the top 10 HW 8 years ago....
lol,,,,so he's knocked out 44 opponents all with just the jab? :duh:
Overrated:
Calzaghe:
Beat some british bums and then beat 43 prehistoric hopkins and take credit in a fight which he struggled. Slaps like a girl.
Wladimir Klitschko:
Where do I start? He is the biggest fellow but he is afraid of getting hit. Doesn’t even know his right hand is there to be used. Just a big guy with no skill that is destroying boxing. While Kimbo a street bum is helping the growth of MMA. It's sad.
Margarito:
5 losses and people still think he is at the level of Cotto or Mayweather. Just another overhyped "Mexican warrior" who will be exposed by a skillful fighter.
Underrated:
Mayweather:
Why? He should be P4P top 3 of the history of boxing.His power is highly underrated and people never acknowledge no boxer ever was smart as him.
David Haye:
He is pretty much the perfect Heavyweight. Speed and power but lacking defence but that can easily be worked on. Hayemaker is coming.
spot on except for calzaghe and we will see on margarito after the cotto fight i am unsure about him
Haye and hatton - what a surprise that they are in there, though i would agree hatton is on the slide now
you keep underestimating haye though, he is fast and punches with big power
Overrated -
Wladimir Klitschko - Average chin, scared to get hit, only throws a jab, boring to watch, best of a bad bunch at the moment in the heavyweights, its no wonder nobody cares about the heavys anymore, cant wait for a bit of excitement when haye starts his heavyweight career
True all he does is throw jabs and an occasional right hand, wouldn't even crack the top 10 HW 8 years ago....
Underrated
Felix Sturm
Under rated:
- Felix Sturm
I dont know if a fighter who fought to a draw against Randy Griffin, got knocked out by Castillejo and struggled in his wins over Castillejo and Masoe is really that underrated in todays boxing world.
Sturm lets his opponents trap him against the ropes and his D isnt tight enough to avoid taking shots there. I like him, but hes definitely a pretty weak champion.
The other top level fighters arent really begging to fight him though, to be fair, i dont think its fair to say hes overrated when his resume is filled with nothing but solid names within their respective divisions.
True that others aren't lining up to fight him, but he's never fought a top-level guy and when he does I think he loses.
Floyd has a carefully hand-picked resume, if you take a look at his opponents. Most of his big wins are shot/past prime fighters, or against fighters hand-picked for their style. He's always avoided technically skilled opponents like Tszyu and Mosley, and prime age opponents like Cotto.
Mayweather offered Mosley a fight twice. At the time Mayweather was at Junior Welter Hatton had already beaten Kostya, and Mayweather offered Hatton the fight. If Miguel wins then chances are Mayweather and Cotto will go at it.
You have no points. Try again.
I've heard many say the Guzman is next coming of a P4P great and I don't see it. I think he is lazy and will get beat by other top level fighters.
Soto may have been blowing people out of the water but who were they? The only real tough fighter he had faced in recent times was Rocky and that was a close fight.

why is guzman overrated? that would make the soto win pretty meaningless when soto hadnt lost in years and was blowing people out of the water.

Man, why you gotta beat barbaro like that, let him rest in peace.
