    A fighter becomes overrated many times by often fighting just good enought competition to say he's good, but not enough top notch.Underrated fighters happen when many guys fight top notch and lose by close verdicts, often controversial or when they show skills not fully developed but potential signs of greatness.This often leads to them getting avoided by fighters of equal or greater skills, who know that the fighter can cause a nightmare or two.

      The numbers game will cause many a great fighter to be completely underrated. So-called "experts" will always shout, "His record is bad, so he wasn't a good boxer." That just shows a remarkable amount of ignorance. Many good fighters have "poor" ring records, but once you see them in the ring, it's hard to call the fighter a "bum" if you see him outclass a hometown opponent only to lose in a robbery decision.

        i thinks its about the amrketing of the boxer.. sometimes they would make a lame opponent look good so that when their fighter fights and wins it will be a great win and not an ordinary win aginst a chump...
