Nobody rates him high after his losses to Gomez and Mora, so no, he is not overrated. Time will tell if he can put his stuff together better.

Fredo is a cool cat. He is doing what most of us here on these boards only talk about doing. As for how good he is I agree with the iceman, its hard to tell in only 5-7 rounds. Imagine any fighter in the world against guys like Maygora, Pacman, Even Cory Sanders or the old Iron Mike for only 5-7 rounds. Fredo is a boxer, we'll see if he can regroup and get a real trainer. One thing he needs is to capture that same killer instinct that he showed against Alfonzo in their 2nd fight.Comment

The last time I check the forums are here to dispute each others points of view, that means "opinions" with out them what fun would it be if everyone here jumped on all the fighters bandwagons and kissed arse in every post? This is boxing fellas, everytime two men step in the ring and on that canvass 98% of the time you are gonna have a winner and a looser. And yes you must respect the fact that they have the cojones to put it out on the line each and every time the get in there. But hey thats the profession they chose, and you gotta be ready for the reality checks.
Like:
1. If the Manfredo/Mora fight would have gone 10 rounds Manfredo would have probabbly tasted the canvass maybe even Koed.
2. And that had more to do with his gassing out and lack of stamina, then it did with Mora's power.
3. Manfredo didn't use his jab effectivly, and couldn't deal with Mora's jab.
4. Manfredo lost to Alfonso, who was obviously fighting at a smaller weight class, struggled with both Espino and Joey.
The question was is he overrated, well not anymore. But he was hyped up to be soemthing he is not. He has potential but his gotta work on alot of things before he becomes a real "contender".Comment

man
the thing is, your deductions are all made based on what you have seen on this show. And there is no way to really tell because NONE OF THESE guys were able to show their true skill level on here. I have boxed with several of these guys andthey are all better than what you see... 5 and 7 rounds is just not indicative of what they really have. And your idea that Manfredo would have been stopped had it gone 10 cuz he would have gassed out is not realistic because of it is scheduled for ten rounds then EVERYTHING about the fight changes. Every aspect changes.Comment

There's a big difference between calling boxers bums, chickens or worse, and analyzing their skills and whatever, in a fair and balanced way.Originally posted by cybernica
1. If the Mora/Manfredo fight was 10 rounds, they would have paced themselves for a 10 round fight. Which makes your argument invalid, and plain wrong. This should be obvious to anybody?
2. Your first point was invalid, therefore this does not apply.
3. Agreed
4. Moatly correct. From what I read, the Joey Gilbert fight was edited to look close. Jesse Brinkley said somewhere that Joey "got his ass handed to him".
I don't think anybody has a problem with fair critique and honest opinions, it's the childish name calling, personal insults and blatant hating of professional fighters, who have the balls to make a VERY HARD living.Comment
