    Fighters who were so overrated they became underrated now. And vice versa.

    For me there are fighters who were so overrated they became underrated and vice versa.

    Example: Overrated into under rated
    Mike Tyson.

    Tyson was so overrated that he is now officially underrated. Reading garbage like Wlad or Lennox would have been 'too big' for him and it's easy to 'break him down mentally' is depressing.

    Reading trash like 'oh Wlad can just implement his cautious game plan and keep Mike away from the outside'



    Underrated to Overrated.

    Vitali Klitscko was so underrated and bashed he has now become overrated. He is now spoken of as some h2h monster when in reality he is 1-2 against good fighters. And all 3 of those fighters were 37 years old or older.


    Overrated into Underrated
    Felix Trinidad was so overrated he too has become under rated now. People talking about him as if he's some come forward puncher that will get absolutely schooled by anybody with boxing skills when in reality the only fights he lost in his prime was against an ATG MW in Hopkins. (Oscar is debatable)

      Lucas Matthysse: So underrated before, but now he's gotten overrated in my opinion.

      Abner Mares: Was overrated early on I felt, but now he's getting underrated, like people expect lots of guys to beat him that haven't.

      Adrien Broner: So overrated early on by people, and now he's underrated by people saying this guy or that guy will 100% beat him.

          Marciano switches all the time.
          From bum to #3 HW ATG.

          Rigo went from over-rated and now people are selling him a little short IMO.

          Khan is now under-rated IMO.

            Rigo was overrated, and now people say he's gonna get his head knocked clean off, and he's too small for Nonito.

            Which is true.

                  I think khan just now is underrated.. every h2h thread with khan v anyone decent he get k/o in 3.

                  He got tagged but got up, jelly legged and all and waved Garcia on and still took more big shots

                  Got tagged a few times by Molina, while light punching still has quick hands and people still say he looked crap.

                  Apart from Floyd, i think most top guys around 140 and 147 are around the same level khan included. Not 1 of these guys are the full package.

                  Roy Jones junior has done significant damage to his later career to gone from 1 of the greats to critics dissing his resume making him underrated.

                    I don't know how betting on this site works. Teach me, and I'm down for that bet.
