    Most Over-rated?

    I think the most overrated fighter right now is Antonio Tarver. Hes shown me nothing. Hes all talk. Beat an aging RJJ. I expected much more from him. For someone who has 1 big win, why is he already getting lazy and taking people lightly?

    Ohh and JCC Jr is overrated if you know where to listen for it.

    I like Jeff Lacey but i think hes not gonna do much.

    the under-rated list would be a bit longer, but....

    Gatti beats club fighters and has-beens and gets a title belt 4 it...

    Danny Williams is barely a top 50 heavyweight....

    Pacquaio has skills but only has 1 win vs. a top fighter....

    Tarver's power is a bit over-rated, but the man has mad skills....

    both Quitschko's, nuff said

      I dont think Danny Williams was ever considered good. Just beat an old Tyson thats how i think most people saw it.

        How can Tarver be over rated when every time he beats someone, You all try to make it less meaningful. Beating an aged RJJ? These 2 are the same age. Plus it says alot because no one before him was able to do it. Tarver is way UNDER-rated.

          With Tarver Im still in the show me something camp.

          Unfortunately i think his most compelling fight is against the now heavyweight James Tony.

          SideNote What the hell happened to the Cruiserweight division when guys like Evander Holyfield patrolled the scene.
          I think its due to money. Guys figure move just a little bit more up, then they can fight for big money at heavyweight. I think they should raise the weight limit for crusierweight. Give these 6'6' Behemoths the heavyweight division alone.

            Normally i agree with you but this time i do not. Its not that he beat an aging jones its that he beat a fighter no longer in his prime. Who has he ever really beaten. To me until he actually beats some of the elite that are still in there prime and people keep sayin he is the next big thing , i will personally think he is overated.

              definitly man, hes the first gy to KO jones. when he beat jones, jones was still the RJJ wev seen beat the likes of ruiz n stuff, when johnson beat him, he wasn't, he in my books lost every round of that fight

                Tarver isn't overrated. He's the best at light heavyweight and has fought other top rated light heavyweights to get to the top.

                  Every one i've heard has said that JCC Jr has a long way to go. I haven't heard ANYONE say JCC Jr was the next comming of JCC SR. He has no amatuer experience, and he has to develop into his body. People are even questioning his age. They say he is 19, buy rumors say that he is really 17. We'll see how he progreses.
