    Underrated and Overrated Fighters??

    UNDERRATED:

    Joshua Clottey - he's the best kept secret in the welterweight division, he's a tough as nails southpaw, very good fighter, gave Margarito a really tough fight with a broken hand, don't be surprised if he KO's Zab Judah in his next fight.

    Adrian Diaconu - he is the WBC interim champ, he's an exciting dangerous fighter with good power and underrated technical skills...Kinda fights like a light heavyweight Tyson...I think he can upset Dawson.

    Herman Ngoudjo - solid underrated fighter, many people thought he beat Malignaggi in their fight a few months back...He should get another win under his belt against M'Baye on the weekend.

    Andreas Kotelnik - Kotelnik is the WBA champ champ at 140, he's arguably best technical fighter at light welterweight, he's a well schooled tough fighter, throws very crisp, accurate punches and has decent power.

    OVERRATED:

    Ricky Hatton - Hatton is a little too overrated by his fans, he was really overrated before the Mayweather fight....Hatton has been going downhill ever since he beat Kostya Tszyu, his alcoholic, fatman lifestyle has to be effecting him...Hatton has poor defence and has a bad habit of running into punches, his punch resistance seems to be diminishing...Mayweather exposed Hatton bigtime.

    Edison Miranda - He was supposed to be a Middleweight Tyson, a feared power punching monster...Kelly Pavlik destroyed and exposed Miranda as a one dimensional fighter that can't fight going backwards.

    David Haye - another british hypejob, his fans think he is a god and claim he will clean out the HW division...Haye hasn't really beaten anybody, he's a very vulnerable fighter with a lot of weaknesses and will most likely be a failure at heavyweight and get exposed.

    Tye Fields - I know it's a just a joke, but I'm sick of the jokes, they got old 5 months ago....The truth is Tye Fields is a straight up BUM, he's a big ogre that swings for the fences, he has no technique or defense, his chin is wide open to get clocked and I predict Monte Barrett will tag Fields and hurt him bad...Hopefully Barrett beats Fields so these lame jokes will come to an end.


    What fighters do you think are underrated and overrated??

    Underrated


    Steve Luevano-
    Great technical boxer with excellent skills when he uses them. Very slick, decent pop and great handspeed. I expect big things from him in the future. Hes the current WBO featherweight champion.

    Carlos Quintana- Slicksouthpaw() that boxed beautifuly against Williams and put on a master class. Displayed hand speed, inside fighting, pop in his shots and excellent counter punching ability. I'm looking for him to do some big things at welterweight, as long as he avoids rematching Cotto.

    Timothy Bradly- Just won the WBC junior welterweight strap by dethroning Junior Witter. I have been watching him when he was coming up on Sho-box and i think that its safe to say that he will be very successful in his career. Good puncher, good boxing skills, slick and counter punching skills.

    Andre Dirrell- Olympic bronze medalist with great hand speed and underrated punching power. Recently redemed himself for that horrible showing that he had against Curtis Stevens which was on the undercard of Mallinaggi/Cherry. He has the look of credentials and the potential to be the best super middleweight. Lets see how he does when he steps on the competition. The win over Hanshaw was a pretty good start.

    Honorable mentions- Steve Cunningham, Rushlan Chagaev , Monty Meza Clay, Tomasz Adamek , Ricardo Torres and Librado Andrade.

    Overrated


    Carl Froach-
    I really didn't see anything from this fighter that excites people. He carries his left hand very low, is robotic and his power could very well be overrated as well. He fought an unbeaten hand picked bum and couldn't floor him, despite landing his signature uppercut at will. i would favor any elite super middleweight over him.

    Andre Berto- Good prospect but reminds me alot of Meldrick taylor, which is not good if he plans on being a successful professional. Hands down, open for counters, exchanges when it isn't neccessary and is carried away with his power. He definitely needs to make a few adjustments before considering fighting the elite, especially a Miguel Cotto or a Zab Judah.

    Thats all i can think of for now. I may edit this post later and add some more.

        Haye and hatton - what a surprise that they are in there, though i would agree hatton is on the slide now
        you keep underestimating haye though, he is fast and punches with big power

        Overrated -

        Wladimir Klitschko - Average chin, scared to get hit, only throws a jab, boring to watch, best of a bad bunch at the moment in the heavyweights, its no wonder nobody cares about the heavys anymore, cant wait for a bit of excitement when haye starts his heavyweight career

                Klitschko is so over-rated. He's so scared to get hit; did anyone watch his last fight against that other Russian. What a big freakin *****.

                  Klitschko is Ukranian you ignorant ****. He is vastly overrated though, I must agree. Along with Margarito, Williams and Miranda.

                  Underrated: Cunningham, Torres and Thompson.

                    I thought he was from Kazahkstan?

                    OK

                    Overrated:

                    Wladimir Klitschko

                    Chinny as ****, boring as ****, the best heavyweight in the worst heavyweight era in the history of the sport and that includes when Jess Willard was champ before he met Dempsey. He has good power and a decent jab but if it weren't for his unusual height and piss-poor opposition we wouldn't even be talking about him.

                    Vitali Klitschko

                    His biggest win is a loss against Lummox Lewis. He got stopped by Chris "Hands of Stone" Byrd. He inexplicably was awarded the title of "Champion for Eternity" by corrupt organisation the WBC as a reward for winning a vacant title and defending it against the mighty Danny Williams. Retired four times to avoid fighting "Sugar" Hasim Rahman.

                    Underrated

                    "WLAD OWNS" is a ****.
