      You're kidding me?

      He's probably #1 P4P fantasy fighter. When his ability to throw lots of punches doesn't make up for his flaws.

      People still think Leonard and Hearns ducked him.

          Overrated I would have to go with Lara his fight with Vanes was awful. His performance in that fight was boring. I had to change the channel and watch the Showtime card instead.

          Underrated I would have to go with Mikey Garcia. I think he has all the tools he just needs to get the big fights now. I Also think Peter Quillin is underrated.

              Underrated - Ricky Burns. A 2-weight world champion, just like Broner, yet he continually gets written off before his fights. In the recent past he was 'going to lose' to Martinez, Katsidis, and Mitchell but he gave them all a hiding. He has one of the best defences in the sport at the moment.

              I would be here all day with overrated fighters.

                  underrated: Bradley. He always finds a way to win but the vulnerability he shows is often what is focused on instead of how he overcomes his short comings. He is just a flat out winner who finds a way to get the job done with a deep and complete yet underrated skill set. He lacks pop but it doesn't hinder him at the elite level with his heart and chin. He has unbelievable athleticism, ring IQ, and has good timing. Bradley fought Provodnikov's fight and still beat him! If he fights him again in a rematch he will utilize his boxing and win in easier fashion as opposed to trying to make a statement.

                  overrated: Danny Garcia. He is viewed as the man at 140 but he really hasn't earned it just yet. The Khan victory and a tough Judah fight are good starts but he has to cement it with a win over Matthysse victory to be rated where he currently is right now. Does he beat Lucas? Not in my opinion so he is overrated in my eyes.

                    I could also make a case for peterson being overrated. Here's a guy who was hurt by tim bradley and would have lost in his hometown against khan had it not been for 2 point deductions. he never had khan hurt like career LW diaz did either. he also looked rustier against holt even though both men were coming off layoffs. he can legitimize his status with a win against Matthysse but I think he is about to get a reality check saturday.
