    Who is overrated to you in boxing now?

    Lamon Brewster, beaten by Kali Meehan IMO. Was losing to Wlad too.
    Danny Williams, beating Harrison doesnt make you good. Don't forget Tyson almost knocked him out.
    Hasim Rahman, I can't believe he's in the title picture. He was losing to an old/aged Evander Holyfield.
    Buddy McGirt, he did what to Gatti? Made him more defensive minded yeah, but what else. Gatti had trouble with Gianluca Branco.

    I'll sign on to all those basically. I like Rahman though. But, Toney should beat him.

    McGirt, I think people are starting to see that he isn't the Godsend they were first advertising.

      rahman should not even be "rated" much less overrated, as far as im concerned he is outside the top 8 in heavyweight.

      Valuev and Andre Ward come to mind.

      I feel like Lacy gets too much credit, if he beats Calzaghe then people should be talking like they already do now.

      Mormeck proved himself to be overrated and flawed

      i guess ill throw in jermaine taylor until he wins a fight that i dont fall asleep watching.

        There's no hype around Valuev, thats why I didn't put him there. And Ward, it's too early too tell.

        With Mormeck, I think it was more about fatigue than being over-rated like with Vivian Harris against Maussa. Just a bad performance.

                there is at least as much hype for valuev as there is for danny williams, i dont know of anybody giving him credit for beating harrison, everyone is just laughing at what a dud audley turned out to be

                i also think people said Wlad was "overrated" when he lost to brewster cause of fatigue. conditioning is an aspect of a fighters skill package, there was no real criticism from anyone on this site about his conditioning before the fight. so if he is lacking ina skill set that causes him to be beaten by a lesser opponent than he is therefore "overrated" he is even moreso overrated cause his chin didnt turn out to be the piece of granite it was "rated" as
