    Very few people give bernard any credit for beating Jones so that can't really be overrated. I didn't mention Wladimir's defenses also not because I'm bias but because Wlad's legacy has been shredded enough by boxing pundits and fans as it is, literally none of Wlad's wins were ever given credit anyways. To be fair they were all against C Rated fighters in a horrible era.

    Some of these fights on the list were seriously overrated in terms of hype and credits given and the way it was talked about. Like I Love prime George Foreman and Old George's sense of humor, but against Moorer, hbo really was attempting to make it seem like a 'trap' devised by George when it was just a opening for a instance which George took full advantage of.

    Also probably should have added Manny over hatton.

      Hopkins wouldn't lose another fight for TWELVE YEARS and still in 2012 he hasn't been beaten as handily as Roy did in 1993. There is nothing to suggest Hopkins wasn't in his prime in 1993 when Roy beat him.

        Anyway to put this simply every win Pacquiao's had since the 2nd Marquez fight is garbage. Except Hatton.

        Holyfield's wins over Tyson are VASTLY overrated also.

        Mosley over Margairto is also overrated Margarito was clearly not in to the fight knowing he was facing at best a suspension or at worst being banned from boxing period.
        agree with b-hop....

        surely you forgot cotto & clottey legitimate WW rankers, imho the title may be gift or something but margarito fight was a legit win versus a way bigger man and lastly PAC-JMM 3 was a legit competitive fight...

        holy's win over tyson was good if not great...

        Mosley last great fight, that was enough ...

          Leonard win over Lalonde, 2 titles in two weight class on a same night, he won his 4th and 5th belts over a paper champion.

          McCall's KO over Lewis, had they allowed the fight to continue, Lennox would no doubt stops McCall.

          Grant KO over Golota, Grant had no chance of winning on the scorecards.

            I still say the most overrated wins EVER are probably......

            Tyson over Holmes
            Marciano over Louis
            De La Hoya over Chavez Sr
            Lewis over Holyfield

              Right....

              Only after PAC whoop Oscar azz that everybody started discrediting him. Before that it was a circus act and PAC would get murder.

              And to the moron TS...you talk as if Morales wasn't prime but you you think PAC was prime . PAC was a one dimensional brawler remember.

                  Actually he had a draw and was dropped twice.

                  All u have to do is watch hopkins in the jones fight compared to hopkins later in his career and it's very clear he got better. This is some simple ass **** anyone with two eyes can see. And you skipped my point about sergio martinez, was he prime at 28? Riddle me that

                    Nothing except international experience as an amateur and world class experience as a pro. Up till that point Hops only fight against ANYONE with world class experience was 26-14 Gilbert Baptist. I guess experience counts for nothing when determining prime, is that it?

                      He doesn't get it. You gotta remember, this is a guy who not only thinks the Chavez-Whitaker fight WASN'T a robbery, but that Chavez won!
