Who is the most overhyped boxer?

[Fox McCloud]

On the list Pavlik barely edges out Dawson...

Paul Williams gets it hands down though.

But as far as the poll is concerned, it's Pavlik easily.

He's not really on the level everyone thinks he is. Sure he impressively overcame adversity and stopped Taylor with his will and work rate.........but everyone is making him out to be invincible.

When has he ever faced a boxer? LOL.

He's faced a run of cabbies, a durable Mexican, a Columbian slugger and a tentative cracker jack box champ.

But... doesn't that prove that he gets Marvin Hagler out of there in 2?

In fact this poll should be referred to in case of Taylor stopping Pavlik.

, but it was a mistake i ment chad dawson....

Good pick, "sad" chad dawson will be beatin soon.

Alexander Povetkin easily.

Even though I'm not a big fan of him, he's done what he's suppose to do, and hasn't been exposed yet.

Paul Williams or Chad Dawson. Take your pick, they're both good....but are they that good.

Chad Dawson is way better than Paul Williams, he's just technically schooled and more polished, while Paul Williams isn't. So my vote goes for Paul Williams.

I'll give a shoutout to Margarito too.

Floyd Mayweather Jr is easily the most overhyped. He even has fans who believe he's the best boxer of all time!

so what exactly is your point for his fans having him as the greatest of all time? many boxing fans have their favorite fighters as the greatest ever.

i feel you made this thread to hate on floyd like majority of this forum does. but, keep it up, you only make his name more legendary. but to answer your silly little question, the most overhyped fighter in boxing is the fighter who fights mayweather, not mayweather himself little boy. his opponents get so much momentum from the boxing world only to be given a huge shot against him for whatever reasons(training harder than ever, too much pressure, too big, etc.) that is eventually taken away from them once the fight starts, and the excuses start rumbling. it's been obvious for years now.

some of these guys are established champs but that doesn't mean they aren't overhyped. DLH is a perfect example of that, he was basically a non factor in the elite mix and still secured a shot at the #1 p4p and had the highest numbers. Roy Jones as well, a fight against a blown up welterweight who hasn't fought since being humiliated by wright over two years ago does 500k buys and then he claims he's bakc and is the draw and wants the big names. That's overhyped, a lot on Roy Jones is all himself but it doesn't erase the fact. BTW I'm not bad mouthing his career as a whole, just the current attention he's getting and the fights he's demanding.
