By this I mean which win do people talk about to boost a fighters standing that you don't think is that impressive now looking at the circumstances. Robberies don't count unless most people actually use that fight as an argument for how good a fighter is. eg hardly anyone uses bradley win over pac so it is not overrated.
p.s can we try not to make this a war between manny and floyd fans calling all their wins overrated.
I think Matthysse is overrated here he went life and death with Molina jr who got completely outclassed by Micky Bey (definition of average) until he landed a miracle punch. If you can box a bit and have good chin you will beat lucas.
The fact that you think Mickey Bey outclassed Molina and Matthysse went life and death is ridiculous. He did the same thing to Matthysse that he did to Bey,landed a big shot (and one behind the head), except with Bey he ended the fight. He lost every other round to Bey and lost every other round to Lucas.
Stevensons win over Dawson.
Dawson was coming off a really terrible beating at the hands of Andre Ward. For some reason he thought he could cut down to 168 and that didn't turn out well as he got dropped 3 times and eventually stopped. Since losing to Stevenson he recently lost to Tommy Karpency of all people. Now his career is in total shambles and no one knows if he's going to come back.
pacquiao vs bradley
bradley is so overrated its crazy
the dude was crushed by ruslan and had a draw with diego chavez
and the marquez fight was close
I know he's overrated because there are idiots on here who claim marquez was schooled. bradley looked like pure **** vs marquez and it was a close fight.
He beat Chavez and got robbed, and he clearly beat Marquez. You're reaching...
I hate to say this but it has to be Bradley over Pacquiao. Hardcore Bradley fan and still thought he lost that fight.
The Mayweather Mafia was happy and tried to justify it as a legit win. All because it would make Mayweather look better to them.
I dont want to say the Manny win over Bradley is overrated, but I concur with you that bradley is truly so overatted. he is not a good boxer. For the most part he is wild, throws wide punches, and comes in head first. I hope him and Porter do not fight, it would be Bradley/Alexander all over again. I go with 10 head clashes if the fight happens.
I'm happy you guys spoke up. I don't see the reason for Bradley to be anywhere near a p4p list and I think he just looks downright SLOPPY when he fights. WAY too many head clashes.

Chaves fight was a robbery. Maybe it makes up for the Pac fight.
The Prov fight was very close and Tim still won in my eyes. After Prov destroys Matthysse to orrow maybe it will look better.
Cotto win over Sergio Martínez. He was clearly a shell of himself. He could barely even stand. This win with Freddie Roach in his corner made people think Cotto was rejuvenated.
Alot of people thought martinez was gunna do him.
They probably just weren't following Sergio's career/health very closely. There were a couple sparring clips leaked of Sergio before the fight and the dude looked, I really mean it, worse than Mickey Rourke did in his last fight.
Cotto vs Martinez, Cotto fans pretended they were dumb deaf and blind and that Cotto just "made history against all odds". Everyone else was ashamed the commission allowed Martinez to fight.
