why is Maidana and Matthysse so overrated?

[Phenom]

both fighters made names on fights they lost (Kotelnik and Khan for Maidana, Alexander and Judah for Matthysse) both fighters didn't beat any of the top guys in the division except for Maidana beating a 21 year old Ortiz.

yet both guys are highly regarded in the division and keep getting shots at vacant titles while guys like Peterson and Garcia get over looked can some one explain why? who did they beat to be ranked top 5 in the division?

maidana because of the ortiz fight. since then, hes really done nothing impressive...well he almost had khan for a second. anyways, we'll see what hes really about against guererro.

mathysse, its hard to say hes overrated. hes a good fighter, and i think ppl view him as such. nothing special tho.

[gatorDelux]

i think its bassed parialy on there popularity and the closnes of the fights they "lost"

[Pacquiao'd]

you really think he lost those fights?

this.....................

you really think he lost those fights?

I really thought he lost to Judah I had it a draw against Alexander but I could see why people had him winning that fight

[Forza]

Maidana would be top 10 p4p if he had just finished off khan, he was so close.

[Ko King 212]

Matthysse isn't but miadana azz is.

I thought he beat devon. The Judah fight I really can't say he won it for sure.

[Phenom]

wow id love to see your scorecard

I get that people don't like Alexander on these forums but don't act like Matt was dominating that night it was a real close fight and not an Alexander vs Kotelnik type of a fight be real bro

and what exactly has lamont peterson done besides draw with ortiz and beat victor cayo? 2 guys that maidana KO'd in 6.

[Heeb]

Maidana is pretty overrated.

Matthysse is a good fighter, but he's got his issues. He really needs to up his workrate.
