Overrated
Casamayor: Yes, he was an excellent fighter but he isn't anymore. He got a gift against Santa Cruz and then was on his way to a points defeat against Katsidis until Kat decided to run chin first into Casamayor's fists.
Sam Peter: If George Foreman made another comeback, he'd probably be about as good as Sam Peter. Actually he'd probably be a bit better, can't imagine Foreman getting knocked down 3 times by Jameel McCline.
Underrated
Joan Guzman: Has reached the age of 32 without getting a big fight. I thought he looked fantastic at super-bantamweight but I'm not sure he has the size to be as good at lightweight. He's a lot better than the small amount of attention he gets would indicate though.
Arthur Abrahams: Good punching power, good chin, good defence. I'm not sure that he beats Pavlik but he gives him a tougher fight than most people would expect. Suffers from the fact that many people in the US and UK haven't seen him fight.Comment

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??
Ha. KnockoutTheFat is gonna **** on that one. I like his little quiz thing he does every now and then, but isn't he the one who started all this ******ed Tye Fields **** on NSB?Comment

Floyd has a carefully hand-picked resume, if you take a look at his opponents. Most of his big wins are shot/past prime fighters, or against fighters hand-picked for their style. He's always avoided technically skilled opponents like Tszyu and Mosley, and prime age opponents like Cotto.Comment

Man, why you gotta beat barbaro like that, let him rest in peace.Floyd has a carefully hand-picked resume, if you take a look at his opponents.
