Top 10 Most OVERRATED Fighters

[wpink1]

In the order they came to mind:

• Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
• Wladimir Klitschko
• Lennox Lewis
• Wilfred Benitez
• Benny Leonard
• Willie Pep
• Sugar Ray Leonard
• Pernell Whitaker
• Evander Holyfield
• Roy Jones, Jr.

This shows how dumb this guy is... He hypes up duran, but says leonard and benetiz are overrated. Both fighters beat Duran, leoanrd beat him twice.

Mayweather would have beaten duran at 135, 140, 147,

In fact panamiac, can you build a case beside just rooting for Duran that objectively qualities him based on quality of opposition he beat up to age 33, can you build and support a case for him to be considered a alltime great.

Keep in mind we can research his quailty of opposition, we all know he barely beat Leonard the first time by a combined total of 4 points in a fight Leonard chose to not box, then when ray did box him, Duran quit like a *****.

The most overrated is Clearly Duran. Who did he beat, his record vs great fighters even before age 33 was 1-4. Ohhh save the he moved up crap. Mayweather moved up, leoanrd moved up, Sweat pea moved up, Jones moved up, Pacman has moved up, Dlh has moved up, Mosley moved up...Robinson moved up, Armstrong moved up, Holyfield moved up,,,,the list goes on and on...Duran is simply overrated.

Louis was better at what? As far as accomplishments go, Ali has wins over 2 of the top 10 greatest heavyweights of all time. How many does Louis have?... Ali also has almost as many good wins as Louis, so when combined with the great ones he has that Louis lacks. And as far as skills and talent goes, Ali beats him.

Arguing that Ali has a greater resume than Louis is like arguing that the sky is blue.

Dunce is as a dunce does.

Duran is simply overrated.

Not to mention one of his greatest victories was a clear gift of a decision.Duran's apologists have as many excuses for his losses as Duran does himself.

Johnson P4P was better at what? His best wins aren't better than Ali's, his quality wins don't out shine Ali's either.

Johnson wasn't really a Heavyweight is the point. Prime Ali had 25 lbs on a prime Johnson. Yet big powerful guys like Sam McVea, the Mike Tyson of his day, were no problem for Johnson.

And resumes are more than just BEST wins, all wins count. Ali is very top heavy, but lacks the depth of Louis. It's not close either:

22 respectable opponents.

Like I said, not close. I also take into account the way the two fighters beat their opponents. Louis ran his over. Ali simply out lasted a lot of his. Most guys died of exhaustion before getting taken out by Ali. Then theirs the streak. Louis 25 defenses cannot be over looked.

Not to mention one of his greatest victories was a clear gift of a decision.

How do you call it a clear gift, if you can name more than 4 rounds Leonard won i'll be very suprised.

He was prolly talking about the Barkley fight, but come now, Leonard won more than 4 rounds in the first Duran fight. Duran gave the last 2 away for free for god's sake. You're telling me Leonard only won 2 of the first 13 rounds?

Muhammad Ali should be the first that comes to anyone's mind. He's actually considered the greatest by many. And they're not just talking about Heavyweights.

HAHHAAHHAHA.......who is this clown?....Muhammad Ali is universally recognised as the Greatest Heavyweight ever....FACT

true i would say he's overrated as well, but thats do to ignorance

[donkim]

Louis 25 defenses cannot be over looked.

When you take into consideration the lack of pulse shown in many of Louis's opponents,then yes,it can be over looked.Do you recognize Joe Calzaghe as a true great?

Ali has the better good wins and he has the better great wins and more of them.

How do you call it a clear gift, if you can name more than 4 rounds Leonard won i'll be very suprised.

I said "one of" his greatest victories,not his greatest victory.I don't dispute the result of the first Leonard-Duran fight,as overrated and messy as that fight was.
