Most overrated American fighter of the decade?

[pasawayako]

Floyd Mayweather jr. hands down. Fights only old and past his prime fighter but if there is a threat to his 0 he will suddenly retire or made an unheard excuses just to duck that fighter.

why isnt oscar on the list??

off your list though, jermain taylor

True. At one point, dude was even rated #3 or #4 P4P

[pasawayako]

floyd mayweather jr.

jermaine taylor & kelly pavlik' prime lasted what 2-3 years at the most. i dont think either guy reached higher than top 10 p4p. none were decorated as highly as mayweather or thought of as highly as mayweather. jermaine taylor was being groomed by hbo, pavlik by top rank, none were p4p 1# or highly decorated.

mayweather on the other hand along with his fanbase claim they are better anybody that has ever put on gloves. floyd has been named fighter of the year & been in the p4p rankings 1# because he was a brash, loud, american.

HOw can you be as highly thought of by boxing writers & fans when your best wins are diego corrales & oscar de ha hoya?


question was who is the most overrated of the decade? floyd mayweather by a large margin.

kelly pavlik, jermaine taylor & their fans never said they were better than ali, robinson, duran, & leonard when they were undefeated. Floyd & his fans on the other hand are another delusional story.


I guarantee you my life if floyd fought the same guys & had the same resume BUT he was not loud, flashy, & american he would have never been p4p 1#.

Writers & a lot of fans got fooled into overrating him because he kept on yelling about how great he was instead of trying to prove it in the ring.

All true mate. I don't think sugar ray robinson who is universally recognize as the greatest lb 4 lb will say that he's better than ali and leonard combined, but if a fighter who's best win in his career is only corrales will say that he's better than ali, robinson, leonard, pacquiao and armstrong combined and if you don't call that overrated then you just must be blind or your love for the guy is unfathomable.

Roy Jones and Fraud Mayweather.

Who is the most overrated American boxer of the past ten years?

**Jeff Lacy**

[cooper5]

For the sake of discussion any fighter can be over or under rated. For me it comes down to the most protected yet hyped.

[The Hate Giver]

how da feck could jeff lacy be overrated when the guy had 20 fights & got fed to the best supermiddleweight in history with 40 plus fights? he gets thoroughly beat & now he's the most overrated of the decade?

the guy was made to be the 2nd coming of tyson by the calzaghe slap society in order to make calzaghe look good once he beat lacy. lacy never beat anybody great before facing calzaghe.

The poll result reflects my opinion.

[JONESJR22]

I think its between Pavlik and Floyd

numbers don't lie! it's clear amongst the boxing community that mayweather is the most overrated fighter of the decade. hehe!
