Most disrespected fighters:
1. Floyd Mayweather Junior ( He has beaten a massive list of big names. And yet Cotto and Margarito fans still think there fighters should start favourite aginst Floyd)
2. Joe Calzaghe (Never lost, undefeated, fought the best at SMW and beat them all. Work rate is special. He has fought a few bums, but his resume is solid. He is my pound for pound number 2 on any given day. Many peopl think he is no chance against Hopkins, when Hopkins lost to Taylor twice and people call Taylor crap on this forum)
3. Jermain Taylor (Was one big right from knocking out Pavlik in the 2nd round of there fight. He knocked Pavlik down. Yet people are carrying on as if he has next to no chance against Pavlik. Also not taking into account his big wins over Hopkins)
(4 and 5 are not so much disrespected, but rather under rated)
4. Mikkel Kessler
5. Vernon Forrest
Most overhyped fighters:
1. Kelly Pavlik (Fans carry on as if hes the greatest in what has to be called a weak middleweight division. If he stepped up to SMW, there are a lot of boys that will sort him out, thats if Taylor doesn't in the rematch. I favour Calzaghe, Kessler and Mundine and possibly Bute all to beat Pavlik. His weakness is his defence and his suspect chin.
2. Bernard Hopkins ( sure hes a legend. All these guys on the overhyped list are great fighters. But not to the extent to which they are talked up. Hopkins is marvellous to still win big fights at his age. But with all the talk about him beating Calzaghe. I seriously can't see this happening. He beat Winky who is not use to fighting at that weight, and more so the fight was ugly with brawling and continual holding. he throws 12 punches a round to Calzaghes 1000. Who wins ?
3. Margarito (could have been a lot higher. Probably should have. Lost a few already. But TKO'd cintron who many claim is the hardest puncher in the division. However in a bout with Floyd, i can't see him taking more than a couple rounds. Yet his fans feel hes the next P4P number 1.
4. Miguel Cotto. A fantastic fighter. But not as great as what everyone is saying just yet. He may be in the future. but just yet, hes not.
Overhyped list : Pavlik, Hopkins, Cotto and to a lesser extent Margarito are great fighters. But just not the extent they are being talked up. Its probably slack of me having Hopkins in this list as he is a legend. But i don't give him a chance of beating Calzaghe.
Anyways, nothing personal. But let me know your opinions.
