Most overrated fighter in boxing today

[elmillon]

Three-way tie between Kelly Pavlik, Joe Calzaghe, and Wlad Klitschko. All bums, every single one.

Yeah real bums.So is that Pacquiao guy and that Mayweather guy.haha. Nice first post.

Whatevs. Anyone from middleweight up is suspect in this era. Up until around the 80s, boxing was equal or more popular than football and basketball, but today, football and basketball make so much more money that any premier athlete that would box in 160 or up will become a running back or a point guard instead. That's why being the best in those divisions today means absolutely nothing. You have to look around welterweight for the premier athletes.

You're just an angry jealous black man

You can't stand seeing white fighters dominate the higher weight classes....Middleweight to Heavyweight

Much, much, much more money in fighting Pac, not to mention more fame in the long run. It's impossible to hold on to 3 belts and defend them all, let alone 4, plus I didn't see David clamoring to fight Juan.

The 3way playoff between the Diazs were much talked about before "Diaz-Diaz" David drew short end of the straw.

Logic also dictates you could get more money fighting Paq with 4 belts on the line

If you analyze David and Juan fight the exact same way, throw the same amount of punches per fight but David is bigger and hits harder

LOL 160 pound running back or point guard? When is the last time you seen a even 180 pounder at running back? You lost all credibility with that statement. And you don't find all that many 6'0+ tall men that are 160 pounds on a court.

If you knew the slightest thing about boxing, you'd know that boxers dry out to make weight, and they don't do much lifting. If you weigh 160 as a boxer (and that's weigh-in weight, not walkaround weight or even fight night weight), you'd weigh close to 200 if you did the training that football players do.

Funny thing is he mentioned a unification with David, he just said that he was tired of Pac picking on old Mexicans.

Only the boxers who get out of shape, fighters that aren't as committed. Pavlik walks around at 175-180. Fight weight is USUALLY around 8 pounds more for "big" fighters. Hopkins floated at 168. Jones floated at 180. Fighters who are committed don't get that big because you have to be in much better shape all year. I do agree that football players are quite a bit more out of shape(stamina wise), so they are bigger.

nah actually all boxers are overrated because all of them fought overrated boxers thus making them overrated too

Definetly....i Agree With You 100%
