why is Maidana and Matthysse so overrated?

[American]

Because they are South American punchers. ****** on this site have an affinity for anything Latin.

[Boxingtech718v2]

Because they are exiting and they have a lot of fans.

I agree Maidana's overrated, and I actually rate him above Matthysse. If they fought, I'd bet on Maidana. He's viciousness with his power. He's also awkward, which is how, despite not being a very fast fighter, or very sharp puncher, he still manages to land on much more talented opponents. Matthysse is just a typical fighter, with power. But he doesn't fight like he has power. He's slow paced, and methodical... Maybe a trainer switch to either teach him how to box, or how to fight

Alexander got in his ass. Sure u could say he won, but that wasn't by any means a blowout. 1 or 2 points maybe

Maidana gave Khan the biggest run for his money in his entire career other than the Prescott fight. He only lost by 1 point according to one of the judges. And of course he busted up Ortiz. Hell, even the Kotelnik fight was very close, and Kotelnik is a stylistic nightmare for Maidana.

Matthysse is not great, but he's arguably undefeated right now. The Judah fight I persoanlly think he edged out, and he definitely beat Alexander. Those are two more-than-solid wins over some good contenders.

If there's anyone thats overrated at 140 it's Alexander, who has lost 3 straight fights.

Like I said, Maidana is the most underrated fighter on this forun. Just look at 90% of the replies. I already said why he is good... No overrating at all.

[King Ghidorah]

Anyone callin' Lucas Matthysse a "brawler" "He has no skills" and "Overrated" don't know shi about Boxing.....


Also i'm pretty sure if Ray Charles was alive he'd tell you that Lucas Mattyhsse should be undeafeated....

I feel both these guys had their chances in fights Maidana vs Khan was a really good fight the guy deserves a lot of credit for getting up from that shot from Khan in the first round. But their is no way Khan fights this guy again after what happened to Khan in the 10th round. But their was no for sure that he was going to get another crack at him no doubt Maidana is exciting fighter to watch and he ducks no one what's not to like about him. Matthysse is a good fighter that brings it all nite he reminds me of kosta tzu same body frame and punching power. I thought he did enough to win against Zab or a draw but Zab didn't beat this kid and I thought Matthysse beat Alexander .But Alexander fought pretty good and showed a lot of heart these guys are not overrated these guys like to fight and HBO love both these guys a lot as well as the hardcore boxing fans.

I think both fighters are being continually thrown in as opponents, and both have shown the ability to turn the tables. That is pretty impressive to me. Maidana's win over Ortiz and the beating he put on Khan towards the end of that fight do a lot to validate him as more than just a good opponent. Matthyse does seem a little bit overrated to me, although he is still good.

[Jack Napier]

Maidana is overrated
Lucas got jipped on Devon and Zab decisions

[Big Op]

They are not overrated. Maidana made Ortiz quit and had a close fight with Khan [and only haters would deny that Khan is world class] and only Americans call Matthysse overrated, but they know he beat both Judah and Alexander.

^this.....
