    Its a good list, although I think Adamek is legit. I also am supportive of Arreola and think that its his team that drowns him. I think he has what it takes to be a very good HW Champ. My list would be similar, in no particular order

    A. Abraham
    A. Broner
    D. Pirog
    J. Kirkland
    T. Bradley
    M. Maidana
    J. Lopez
    F. Sturm
    V. Martiyosan
    C. John

        I think Chavez Jr. Also belongs on this list. Just my opinion though.

            Looking at it again, I'm not too sure about Pirog. He doesn't seem overrated on BS. I think he lives up to his current reputation.

              JCC jr and John should be on that list.

              Adamek is a legit fighter and doesn't have that HW punch but has good enough skills to hang in there and beat them

                Totally agree on Adamek. His heavyweight resume is worse than Haye's and has been built on hometown fights against bums. Haye got a huge amount of criticism for fighting Audley but McBride was a far more ridiculous opponent for a supposed contender.

                  Overrated Fighters (In My Opinion)

                  Pacquiao (havent been impressed with him since the hatton fight)

                  Mayweather (great boxer, but ive always felt he's been very careful about who he fights)

                  Geale (seems to be getting overrated from his last fight, yeah it was a good win, but lets not get carried away. some people are suggesting he will beat Sturm or Martinez... I dont think so.)

                  Andre Ward (this guy has no punching power, decent speed, but he will never beat Bute and to be honest, I think Froch might take him)

                  Tomasz Adamek (another guy, tough guy, but I dont feel as confident in him as some others do. Ive always felt he's missing quite a few things. he was also rocked in his fight VS Michael Grant and I seriusly doubt his ability to deal with a big HW)

                  I should also add that for years I was saying Paul Williams and Danny Jacobs were overrated and I was proven correct on both of those counts!

                      Beating Margo, an old Mosley, Clottey and Cotto easely isn't an overrated performance, I'm sorry...Bradley is getting praised for beating guys like Cherry, Holt or Alexander with some troubles...
