Those who have been saying he is, show yourselves and you don't have to explain.

What are your expectations on his forthcoming fight with Tony Harrison? How would he fare?

I don’t think he is overrated
I wasn’t to sure about him going into the Charlo fight right away
Fighting Harrison is going to pay dividends , we’ll have a much better assessment and he needs it cause imo he is green

Maybe he is, people are holding big expectations from Tim Tszyu, difficult to gauge how good he is with so little to work with. He looked dominant over Hogan and Gausha, but the latter who was already past it managed to knock him down, caught him in multiple occasions and went the distance.

Not saying that he can't make improvements, but Tim has reached his ceiling, the guy is 28 years old. It will be difficult to make drastic changes in his game at this point of his career.

He’s at minimum pretty good. If you think he’s going to beat Charlo and hold the title for years, you’re seeing something I’m not seeing. In fact if he just beats Charlo I’ve underrated him, which, as it turns out, has happened before.

I don't think he's overrated. He's got this mental toughness that he seems to hate being bullied in the ring. I saw it in the Horn fight a year ago or so where he gets hit a lot, but comes out strong with more power. Hogan couldn't even stand straight to face him squarely in the ring. He leans like he wanted none of Tzsyu's power. But I'm glad we'll soon see him with a more proven fighter in Harrison next month. (I know that Tony didn't do well in his last fight, but there are those kinds of days...) I hope to see a good fight.

He has a lot of pressure on him as do most sons of ex boxers.

I have no doubt he is overrated, the Harrison fight is a real danger fight although Tony is on the slide and a long way from home. I took a bet on Gausha to beat him I was looking for a KO and when he dropped him early I thought right we're in with a good shot here, but Terrel just when through the motions.

Tim does lots of things wrong his next fight will reveal a lot.

...by who? I barely see anybody talking about him honestly and I certainly don't see anybody hyping him up like that
