    Most Overrated Boxers Right Now?

    I'll start
    Devin Haney. Doesn't have great defense like many claim and has not been truly tested at lightweight. Seriously what's so special about this guy? I see him getting Sugar Ray Leonard and Floyd Mayweather Jr comparisons.

    Jermell Charlo. Overrated head hunter who was getting out boxed by Tony Harrison and who should've lost to Castano.

    Gervonta Davis. A protected fighter who has power but has the work rate of a heavyweight. He's cherry picking like crazy.

    Who are some overrated fighters right now? Remember overrated doesn't mean bad, just rated in a higher regard than you think is appropriate.

    Errol Spence Jr. He's really good but his fans are talking about him having the right credentials to beat Canelo Alverez. Get a fkking grip.

      Check out my sig. Now someone name me an elite boxer who has, after already hugging non-stop and being separated, did a running tackle on his opponent without even trying to box? Just name me one elite boxer who has ever done that in his career. Every time I see that it makes me cringe. Haney had the whole place booing and jeering him when he did that, too. So just name me one elite boxer who's ever done something like that. I already know the answer, and that's why Haney is not an elite boxer.

        Fury - apparently beating Wilder and old washed up Wlad is enough to crown him as the undisputed GOAT HW for his fanboys

        Gervonta Davis - overpaid and overprotected, is happy fighting nothing but no hopers and hiding behind Mayweather's skirt

        Benavidez - weight bully bumbeater

          Demetrius Andrade.

          2 division "champion" at 34 years old, 31 fights, only 2 top 10 ranked opponents, 0 legitimate (lineal, Ring, or top champion of the big 4; no secondary or interim or IBO) world titlists faced.

            - - Heinie mentor Popkins jumped in with a flying knee vs Chad Dawson, and failing that attempted a DQ after Dawson shucked him off with a shoulder.

              In the second fight? At 8:49? That's true but Hopkins was actually throwing punches. Both guys were throwing and Hopkins tried to smother. Haney not only forgot he was boxing but forgot to put on a rubber.

                    Gotta go with Benavidez as well. I don't know what people see in him. Sure he's got hand speed but he just squares up plodding forward throwing wide hooks from the waist. Meh. 10 punch combos look good against negative journeymen with high guards but who at the top level is going to sit there and absorb all that?
