    Who is more overrated?

    In your opinion, state why you think the fighter you picked is overrated. For me its Kessler. I think he is a DECENT fighter, but not the world-beater people make him out to be. Again, this is not a fighter bashing thread, overrated DOES NOT mean he sucks

    Carl Froch is the worst fighter on the list, but Kessler is the most overrated. Kessler's a pretty good fighter though and would beat a lot of people. I just don't think he's an amazing top level fighter.

      Froch is the worst on the list and if anybody puts him in the same caliber as lets say Calzaghe as he thinks he is he is overrated. He won a belt that Calzaghe vacated... and the fighter Froch beat wasn't a legitimate champion. I mean, I take nothing from Froch I wish him all the best in his career but he has yet to prove himself.

        Froch and Kessler are both garbage. But, for some reason Kessler is seen as some bad ass.

                Kessler held the WBA and WBC titles when he fought Calzaghe.

                To win two titles takes some serious skills.

                He has since recaptured the WBA title and defended it once.

                Froch has done NOTHING yet he is considered a "champion"?

                Froch is by far the most overrated on that list, as he is considered a "champion" even though he is utter garbage.

                    Jermaine Taylor hands down.. HBO had a hard on for him since day 1.. and have tried in vain to keep his star power alight...

                    The fact is.. he should have never been champ.. because he didn't win the fight.. However, when you are already being billed as the "Heir Apparent" and your fight is titled "The Next In Line".. I guess the people who invested in you can't afford to lose.. His Championship run was a Joke.. and It ended by getting KTFO by a Tough but somewhat limited fighter..

                    Taylor is a Product of the media.. and not nearly as good as the sum of his parts..
