the most overrated and underrated fighters?

[mochoso91]

Oh I forgot Eddie Chambers is being overrated a little bit too

Overrated:
Pavlik. Something’s wrong with the guy, he got smashed by Hopkins. Then he fought some bum and didn't look that great by the standards a fighter of his reputation is judged by. Then Arum cancels a fight against a guy who was on the contender because he supposedly had a staph infection according to Arum, then the next week Pavlik himself says that was an outright lie, then he resigns and all but acts like nothing was ever said. I also read in here that he was in some kind of bar fight because a guy convinced him his father was dead or something insane like that. Bottom line is whether or not this stuff is true or not doesn't matter what does matter is that he isn't fighting anymore pretty much and is still ranked high. I have found that when all kinds of crazy rumors and turmoil surround a fighter it's usually to cover up something even worse and Pavlik seems to be in something like that now. Fact is there are a lot of fights that people would pay good money to see him in and he's not fighting at all that’s a bad sign period.

Quite frankly Cotto Pacman & Floyd are being overrated as well, Cotto hasn't had a convincing win against an elite fighter in years, Pacman is fighting contract micro waved past there prime fighters, his other wins are slightly clouded being that he couldn't finish and was outboxxed a few times and Floyd hasn't stepped foot in the ring in nearly two years. People can get mad if they want but it's the truth. I love Floyd but the fact is he hasn't fought in two years almost and there are a lot of people including experts that find Cotto's & Pacman's most notable wins questionable.

Underrated:
Hopkins & Mosley both guys had such convincing victories against guys that were favored to beat them that now neither can get a good fight. No one wants Mosley right now. You can say Paul Williams all you want but the fact is no one wants to fight that man because he isn't a huge draw and shouldn't be fighting at WW anyway, If Paul wants to fight at WW he needs to stay in that division and keep fighting there until people have to face him or until he gets a fan base that can pressure top fighters into money match ups. I'd pay to see Williams fight Chad Dawson but outside of that he wouldn't get a dime of my money. Point is Hopkins & Mosley have done themselves a disservice by furthering there legacy and most fighters would rather time beat those two than themselves. Neither has ever been Ko'd. Outside of the Roy Jones Jr fight I have never seen Hopkins in a fight that I felt he lost outright. I admit he had some close ones but he had Joe down and wasn't hit flush at all really, after the fight Hopkins looked almost the same as he did when he started. His elbows were maybe slapped up but that’s about it, his cup ate a cleaner shot than his body or head did in that fight. But in the words of Dennis Miller "That’s Just My Opinion I Could Be Wrong

Some people **** on his resume and assume he isn't a great/good boxer.

Some people think he is unbeatable, he's not he is just unbeaten.

I think at the moment Cotto and Donaire and underrated, I also think Mayweather is underrated.

I also think that Pacquiao and Mayweather are the most overrated fighters at the moment.

You drunken fool

Have you seen Marquze vs Chris John?

it was a clear win for Chris John. Marquez is much better but he was more focus on getting a KO. He was going with straight right and a left hook but Chris John was smart enough not to tag alone.

part of fighting is to know you limits, pros and cons and us against you oppenets.

people alway critize boxers who dont have alot of power moving around.

I dont know what fight you watched but saying that it was a CLEAR win for chirs john is the equivalent of saying it was a clear ko win for JMM.
