Most Overated Fighters of all Time

[Slipx]

I'm not sure if this has been said or not, (16 page thread, I'm not clicking 16 times ;-) )

but Tony Danza from Who's the Boss was a heavy hitter before he became an actor. He wanted to become world champion, 7 of his 9 KO's were in the first round. This was against decent opposition (for him) . Granted he got punked his 2nd pro fight but you gotta give him respect for loving the sport in his younger years. Him and Mickey Rourke are 2 actors I have a higher notch of respect for, even though Mickey wasn't the greatest fighter, at least his ass was in the ring. Anyway Tony was like 18th in his gym before he quit, supposedly.

here's a link to his accomplishments-

I didn't know he was a fighter, I thought he played baseball.

He fought John LoCicero, who you might remember from his exciting ESPN war with Caveman Lee. That was an underrated great fight.

England, Ireland, same bull****. Collins never beat a good opponent who wasn't British. He lost to McCallum, Johnson, and Kalumbay, none of them of British descent. Ricky Hatton draws alot of people, so does Paz, doesn't mean they don't suck. Only good fighters ever from England were Eubank and The Prince.

dude sort you life out, me and you get on but to say that is just plain bollox.

Check out the records of Ted Kid Lewis, Jimmy Wilde, Randoplh Turpin for ****s sake beat sugar ray was he not decent then?

Thats before you get on to the likes of Ken, Buchanon, Jim watt, alan minter, Dennis Adries, Barry Mcguigan, Lloyd Honeygun took apart Don curry amnd went on a long reign, Nige Benn took the supposed P4P great G man, Lennox Lewis....i could go on and on. Sorry mate but thats a ****ing ignorant post. Im surprised at ya mate

Simply because I pointed out your boy, there's no need to insult me. He's overrated, pure and simple.

Here's a rundown of a Manny fight:

Manny storms the center.

Jab jab left. jab jab left. jab jab left. jab MANILA ICE left. jab jab left. jab jab left.

I can tell you what punches he's throwing without watching the damn fight. Aside from David Tua, I've never seen a more one dimensional fighter.

Lay off that indo. No one is overrated there.
