World Boxing Magazines Most Overrated & Underrated Boxers

[Kball15]

some of them do, but why is Edwin overrated and Vic underrated? those two are dangerous fighters to any contenders.

i agree with the valero being overrated.

He's exciting and he has a huge punch for the weight, but he can have pretty slow hands and he's all over the place and really isnt a very good fighter. He holds his chin way out, just waiting for a big puncher to smack it.

Hes very overrated

well, I only saw him fight once, and he isnt used to 12 rounds, I dunno how he fares in the long run.

Seems to me a lot of guys aren't listed in the right weight class on your list.

Yeah I know Corrales and probably John Duddy are not in the right weight class. They really didn't say MW or HW, but they had them in that order, so thats what i figured they would be.

I think Manfredo is underrated because I dont think he is going to be beaten as bad as most people think.

I agree with him on Karmazin. Hes a good fighter, and probably should have gotten a rematch with Spinks right away.

What about Sergei Dzinziruk? I know he is undefeated and is the WBO champ, but I've never seen him fight or heard much about him. How good is he.

p4p most underated fighter is Ivan Calderon and the most overrated fighter p4p is Ricky Hatton IMO

[Gareth Ivanovic]

Ivan Calderon is pretty slick and one of the best pure boxers there is. Too bad he fights at straw weight and doesn't get more exposure.

I got the World Boxing Magazine the other day and they had an article about the most overrated and underrated boxers. They have an overrated and underrated boxer from HW to flyweight. Here they are.

HW: (Over) Shannon Briggs, (Under) Ruslan Chagaev
CW: (Over) O'Neil Bell, (Under) Clinton Woods
SMW: (Over) Peter Manfredo Jr, (Under) Mikkel Kessler
MW: (Over) Jermain Taylor, (Under) Sakio Bika
JMW: (Over) John Duddy, (Under) Roman Karmazin
WW: (Over) Antonio Margarito, (Under) Sergei Dzinziruk
JWW: (Over) Ricy Hatton, (Under) Junior Witter
LW: (Over) Diego Corrales, (Under) Joel Casamayor
Feather Weight: (Over) Edwin Valero, (Under) Steve Moliter
Flyweight: (Over) Irene Pacheco, (Under) Vic Darchinyan.

Some of them i agree with and some I don't. I was wondering what your guys opinion of this is.

Briggs-Who the hell rates him that high?
Chagaev-Agreed...
O'Neil Bell-Rated just where he should be.
Woods-Agreed...
Manfredo-Some people(such as myself)think he's going to give Joe some trouble.That's all!I don't think that's overrating him.
Kessler-Not underated anymore..
Taylor-Maybe a little overated..
Bika-Not underrated..
Duddy-Not overrated,just has a loyal fanbase..
Karmazin-Definetly underrated...
Margarito-Overrated,yes...
Hatton-Maybe a bit overrated,but once again,a loyal fanbase.
Witter-Agreed...
Corrales-Not sure about this one..
Casamayor-A little underrated,yes..
Pacheco-Hasn't been rated too high in years..
Darchinyan-He get's his props from most..
