Who are the most overrated ATG fighters ?

[J.B.moneY.]

What part of my FACTS dont u agree with that im talkin about? Just a few more posts till a 1000 fellas..Wont be too long before i REALLY make my point!

yea goblin thta a little far fetched...i think manny is a lock for the hall of fame

Manny beating floyds leftovers aside from the 1st barrera fight is the only fight im gonna give manny credit for when he wins..

Manny beating Jmm MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ME...Jmm ALREADY KICKED MANNY'S ASS TWICE....TWICE..The same idiots who are givin manny credit for his pathetic two wins over erik are gonna put manny again in godlike status if he FINALLY beats Jmm..

As for delahoya...I look at u know..the damn man in the ring with gloves on.. NOT at what people were predicting..i made 320$ from that fight from all these idiots yelling mismatch before the fight...Hell even I didnt know hoya would look THAT bad..oh and ive always hated barrera.

Pacquiao is a overated..and he only fights past prime fighters.

Even an old barrera, morales, and JMM are still better than anyone else he could have fought. Soto would have been good, but Manny went for the belt and big names instead. He was hardly gonna use him before Morales, that is not a good warmup fight. Diaz was a belt, yes JMM has the better lightweight names, but DLH was a gigantic money draw and noone could have predicted he would be THAT shot. Now he's going to fight Hatton, he only wants huge names and big money fights. If you don't like his list of opponents then don't worry, you think he's a bum along with everyone he fights anyway, so apparently you're not missing much in missing his fights. And Pacquiao beating JMM if they fight again is hardly meaningless, the dude just knocked out the #1 lightweight in the world and is ranked p4p#2, and p4p#1 by many. Pac is quite possibly on his way to become a 5 division champion and still isn't planning on retiring just yet. Again, sometimes you feel p4p#1 is overrated, it's been the case in the past, but he's hardly a bum or a chump. I felt Pac edged out JMM the 2nd time, but it could have gone either way, neither fighter was spanked or exposed, it just proves that we are lucky enough to have 2 of the best featherweights in the same era, moving up and cleaning out divisions together to try to edge out the others legacy. To me that is the most exciting thing any sport has to offer, 2 fighters on a level of their own matching wits and clashing in the ring, unable to decide which is better, both moving up out of their natural weight to clean out divisions they don't belong in hyping up their final meeting.


Edit: And Barrera is the ****, how can you not like him?

Is Aaron Pryor classed as an ATG

Yes. He'd certainly beat the likes of Hatton via KO(not that this alone qualifies you as an ATG).

I'd have to say him then, i understand he was a great fighter but people try to make him seem unbeatable

It depends on who's doing the rating.

In general, I'd say he's overrated. The Ring had him way too high in their 2002 "80 Top Fighters of the Last 80 Years" issue. Then the Legendary Nights series in turn caused him to be greatly overrated on message boards by many fans.

Jack Dempsey is overrated.

He was hittable, I can see why you say that. Who would you have beating him at 140?

Tszyu
Mayweather Jr
Whitaker
Possibly Chavez and Locche

I could respect anyone's opinion if they say Pryor would beat anyone of these fighters but i personally don't see it

For Tszyu to do it, it would have to be absolute prime Tszyu. He developed a hell of a chin but I question his ability to withstand the relentless aggression that Pryor had. Whitaker probably, Chavez and Locche I question.
