    Hatton's win over Tszyu. Kostya had 2 fights in the 3 years leading up to it, and even then Ricky needed the help of the ref to mug him for 11 rounds. Ricky wasn't a bad fighter, but he never lived up to the #4 p4p ranking that that fight propelled him to.

      I agree with this

        Overrated- Manny over Margarito. Margarito either lost it because of the wraps or lost it because of the year layoff. He was not good at all in that first fight back to even make one think he had a shot in that fight.

        Floyd over Shane. 5 years too late and still got chin checked.

        Calzaghe over Kessler & Lacey, Hopkins over Pavlik. Love Hopkins but in recent fights both wins have been proven less steller. Kessler hasn't look good since before that fight. Neither has Pavlik really although at times he did give Sergio a good fight. But then again you never know, maybe Hopkins and Joe ruined their careers with those fights.

        Lennox Lewis over Tyson- Not all the time but a lot of times I see Lewis fans trying to add this win to his resume like it's something special. Biitch late 80's early 90's Tyson would have sent him to the hospital into a coma.

        Underrated- Roy Jones over Toney- seems like everybody's starting to say Roy Jones had one great win over Hopkins and the rest were tomatoe cans. But not only did Jones beat young prime Toney, HE MADE HIM LOOK LIKE AN AMATEUR!!! He completely embarrassed Toney. ATG performance right there.

        Devon Alexander's win over Juan Urango & Junior Witter. I've heard numerous people say he hits like a biitch. He made Witter QUIT who was at once a legitmate contender. Urango was a monster too. Not the most skilled but hit hard as ***** and not even Berto or Hatton came close to stopping him and Devon just floored him like it was nothing.

        Thomas Hearns trashed Roberto Duran. 2 rounds was all it took for Hearns to knock him the **** out! Don't really hear about this fight much and when I do I hear some bull***** like Hearns was too big. Well Duran just went the distance with Hagler the fight before. It's like Hopkins vs De La Hoya & Trinidad. If they would have won, it would have been like Pac "Duran is the greatest of all time!" but since he lost "well it was suppose to happen, not that special beating on a little man."

          Harold Johnson's wins over Valdez, Machen and Bert Lytell are great and underrated wins.

            Overrated? Oscar DeLaHoya-JC Chavez I...

            Chavez came into the fight with a cut over his eye that was immediatley opened by a routine jab. Chavez bled like a stuck pig and had no shot against his younger and bigger foe. The next day I read about the pure slaughter of a former great by the near- future great.
