Top 10 Most OVERRATED Fighters

[sonnyboyx2]

I always thought it was a fluke and it was proven to be so months later when Lewis was actually paying attention that time around.....I have never heard anyone personally who was on their soapbox going on about how great Rahman was.

its quite amazing how these excuses come out time and again for the twice Lewis got Poleaxed..
1/. He was under-trained
2/. he was making a movie so not focused
3/. it was a lucky punch
4/. the referee stopped it to quickly
5/. Lewis never trained properly
6/. it was a lucky shot McCall had his eyes closed
7/. he was not paying attention
8/. etc
9/. etc
10/. etc

I know, it annoys me. He got ktfo by Rahman, get over it.

People make just as many excuses for Tyson's losses. Tyson lost to Douglas and Holyfield. Holyfield who was older than him, been in many wars but still beat him up.

He is rated top 10 p4p by many. I just don't see it.



People look far too much into the Pep fights. He may have gotten the best of Pep (after Pep nearly died in a plane crash), by questionable methods in my opinion (except in the first fight), but he wasn't better than Pep.

I don't agree about a lot of fighters ducking Pryor. Jim Watt may have but that was about it. He himself screwed up potential fights with Leonard, Duran and he did eventually get a huge fight against Arguello, a fight after which he went onto ruin his career with drugs.

How does Pryor rate over Thomas Hearns for example? He has two notable wins, an ancient Antonio Cervantes and Arguello in his 4th weight class.

Hearns would have ko'd Pryor in the pros because of the size differential. I would have loved to have seen a Pryor-Duran fight.

You have to admit the first fight with Arguello, any other 140 pounder that night would have been ko'd by Alexis. Arguello hit Pryor with some hellacious shots that night

Pryor claims the reason that him and Duran never fought was, when Panama Lewis got with him he made Pryor promise that he would never agree to fight Duran because he had, had a baby to Duran's sister, and Pryor kept to his promise.

Any other 140 pounder in the division at the time maybe, but not all-time. Alexis wasn't at his best at 140 pounds.

Does anybody think Trinidad is overated?

No, he wasn't, but that night he hit Pryor as hard as he ever hit anyone in his entire career. Just four months earlier he knocked out welterweight Kevin Rooney with one shot. Arguello, like Hearns and Pacquaio, carried his power with him as he went up in weight. Alexis was at his best at 130.
