Who is the most overated overhyped fraud of all-time

[Toney Loc]

Pavlik also wasnt adjusted to the weight he put on either.

he looked tired, slow and too heavy.

if they would have fought at 166lbs. Bhop wouldnt have beat Pavlik

I hope you don't mind if I quote this genius post.

RJJ or Jeff lacy.

RJJ for beating bum after bum the guy has the same number of class names on his resume as Calzaghe yet he's talked up at top 30 ATG, that BS.

Jeff lacy the Mini Mike Tyson - Nuff said.

[hammerhiem]

you're right. Calzaghe's title defenses against Ashira, Veit, Salem, Mkrtchyan, Pudwill, Jimeniz, Mcintyre, Woodhall, Starie, Thronberry, Ferreyra and Sobot are severely underrated.

Those aren't rated at all except for Woodhall who was a solid champ.

BHop
Lacy
Reid
Mitchell
Brewer
Kessler
Eubank

that 7 solid names right there, 6 of them prime or close enough.

The title of this thread is "most overated overhyped fraud of ALL time" and some pick JC?
even if you've only been following boxing for 5 minutes thats a rediculous statement.
Even if you don't rate his career you cant say he the most overhyped boxer of ALL time.

I'd go with Howard Davis jnr.

[WhoreUs]

I think I might want to cry.

what? it's only ezzard charles.

it's not like guys on a boxing forum should know that name.

the guys didn't beat anyone good aside from archie moore , joe louis , jersey joe walcott, joey maxim , etc.

[hotshoes]

for now i'd say jcc jr

[Little Killer]

Rocky Marciano, he did not want none of Patterson

[DGP]

i loved gatti but he was the most overrated

[floydjoy]

kelly pavlik
wladimir klitschko

Close enough?

Hopkins true prime ended around 2003.

Brewer was also past it.

And Eubank had been past it since he ended Watson's career. His KO ratio went to **** after that. He didn't have the heart to do it anymore. Ended up going the distance in competitive fights with washed up guys like Lindell Holmes, and had the nerve to draw with Ray Close. Not to mention he should have lost the Benn rematch, a guy he was tailor made to beat (as he proved in the first fight). Man by the time Calzaghe got to him Collins had already transitioned him from post-prime to over the hill. His conditioning was terrible, which is why he made the jump to Cruiserweight. Don't pretend he was still great just because Calzaghe struggled to beat him.
