Cuban Fighters are Overrated

[sicko]

Their Overrated but yet you got most of boxing Ducking And Dodging Them:

Canelo don't want to fight Lara

Donaire don't want to fight Rigondeaux

Despite Gamboa Flaws...he sure don't get called out much?

That doesn't sound like them being "OVERRATED" to me...some of you don't even know what Overrated is, Overrated is what Canelo is right now, you know a fighter who has limited skills in the ring and is well protected by his promoter to the point in which he has yet to fight any of the Top fighters in his own division...NOW THAT IS BEING OVERRATED!

When your overrated people are lining up to fight you because they know your NOT that good, I don't see that happening to Lara, Rigondeaux or Gamboa...but it is happening to Canelo! lol

I can understand people calling out Pacquiao and Mayweather because a fight with them means a big Pay Check but with Canelo, people are calling him out because a lot of fighters knows he is not that good

[puga]

gamboa is the real deal ... everybody else is average

[The Tase]

it seems these fighters are getting praise more for potential then actual achievements

let's start off with Gamboa a career filled with tune ups and journeyman who even then he struggles to beat and gets knocked down on his a$$ by them
his best career win is probably 11 losses salido

then we have Lara......he fights Carlos Molina (hadn't fought in 2 years prior) and gets a gift draw...he gets robbed of a win over a past prime williams...then goes on to draw with vanes.....

Rigo is probably the most overrated he went life and death vs cordoba and got rocked by a prospect........best win is rico ramos

ive been saying this forever. i agree 100%.

i coudl write a book on how and why Cuban boxers are some of the best boxers in the world.

nobody would read it except cubans.

and im not even Cuban, or hispanic, im 100% American white boy.

no you're not stop lying.

Lara is the most overrated of them all.

id go with rigondeaux.

at least lara has been in the same ring with martirosyan and a former top 10 p4p fighter in paul williams.

who da **** has rigo been in with?

cordoba?

standby, Nekronicle bout to drop some knowledge in this thread

we are still waiting.

And I have ZERO innate bias, im a Cracka Gringo. For reals. But i do love Cuban boxers, and Cuba in general. I did have an old Ex Girlfriend who was from Cuba...but thats literally my only connection, if anything that should make me hate Cuba lol

the fact that you keep trying to say you are white tells me you are not.

again,

stop lying.

The hell...how do you define obnoxious? Cuban fans are no where near the same level as Mexican fans who worship paper champs like Chavez Jr and Canelo, or British fans who blow horns during an entire fight as if its a soccer game.

how do you define obnoxious?

look at your face in the mirror.

I agree they are probably more praised on potential but come on there is no doubt ''11 losses'' is #1 in his division and most of those losses came at the start of his career, way before his prime. Lets not forget how he whooped Barros when he was undefeated and very hot at the time and toyed with Solis, making him look a complete bum. He has other very solid wins including Ramirez & the severely underrated Ferenas.

You've totally exaggerated everything tbh such as Rigo went life and death with Corboda - He beat him as good as anybody ever has in only his 7th/8th pro outing! Corboda is no bum!

Whether you like it or not these Cubans are as skilled as any other nationality and they're here to stay and have some tremendous talent coming through. The problem is you clearly do not appreciate high level technical boxing.

the problem with most of these cubans is that they're spending a good portion of the prime of their lives as amateurs. by the time they're fully developed professionals they're in their 30's.

ahah dude, im a long haired white dude. For reals. go check out the amateur vs pro thread, theres a video of me hanging with Fiddy Cent

[New England]

the greatest and most humorous overrating of a cuban came after rigondeaux's defeat of the venerable ramos.


ramos looks like freddie mercury.

fine.

everything else stands.

[jri9d0]

I mentioned something along similar lines once before.

I mean, with all of the Cuban defectors (many of them athletes) with 40 years + of communism all the Cubans from Miami have to show for it is Joel Cassamayor?

They get too much praise for things unaccomplished in pro boxing.

[#1Assassin]

mostly judging from there obnoxious fan base's

all fighters have obnoxious fans, you cant look at the ****** ones as the standard. i think cuban fighters in general have some of the best fans, they are all technicians so their fans appreciate good boxing and usually know the sport.

[catalinul]

Cubans come with acclamied amateur careers and with more expectations then other fighters so I guess that has something to do with it.
