Most Overrated Fights

[BoxingGenius27]

LOL.....first response proved Thread Starter right....

How?

I thought Tyson-Holyfield was very exciting. It even brought tears of joy to my eyes believe it or not.

Oh wait, it wasn't exciting because TS thought it wasn't?

Another one who doesn't get the topic.

And BTW, Mayweather-Cotto was a pretty action packed fight. Not FOTY, but it had a lot of action.

It was exciting but Floyd fans turn around and make it the as a great win for Floyd. Pretty funny considering they were dogging Cotto when he was about to fight Pac and Pac demolished him.

Calling a fight "most overrated" is pretty bull**** really...but probably Holyfield-Bowe is the most garbage of great fights we grew up seeing...picking the "worst" of the greatest fights you've seen in your life is kinda ridic...

First fight I thought of was De La Hoya-Quartey, funny to see it already mentioned.

I would say SRL and Hearns is a little overrated as well. That fight is really inconsistent in its action until the last couple of rounds.

What??!!!
that was ATG fight, the evolution of style from the 2 fighter was 1 of a kind.

Hagler vs Hearns amazing fight but no where near the best of all time like people make it out to be

[gingeralbino]

im gonna get a lot of **** for this one.

But i thought Toney Jirov was a good fight. Not great, not even very good. Just good. Ive seen people say its one of their favourite fights of all time.

Gatti vs. Ward II and III
Berto vs. Ortiz

The Ortiz-Berto fight was good and then was average IMO. The real fight of the year was Akira Yaegashi vs. ****sawan Porpramook.

EDIT - LOL @ Pornsawan Porpramook's name getting rubbed out because of porn.

I cant think of Overrated fights BUT


Barrera-Morales and Vasquez-Marquez are the 2 BEST trilogy of all time.

[Thread Stealer]

the first six rounds/half of that fight were pretty damn wild


the second half was much more tame

Yeah, the second half had a lot of clinching. First half was great, especially the 6th round. Manny Steward went nuts!

it was on and off in terms of action. The moments when Hearns was in control were very dull. That and if one round would be action packed, the next was super tame. It was opposite ends.
