Name an over hyped fighter you knew was overated

[Beater_of_ass]

I'd argue Garcia was underrated, not that Matthysse was overrated. Most the people picking Lucas did so because they didn't think Garcia could do what he did.

Great point.

[TGD]

David Price. Said it from the very beginning he was a KO waiting to happen. Seen the big gormless **** get ragdolled in the amateurs.

Mark my words, Wilder is another one.

Amir Khan he looked so impressive against above average opposition, I kind of fell onto the guys band wagon. As it turns out he doesn't have chin required to last at the world class level.

Michael Nunn, I always loved the tall rangy boxers like him. He ran into a guy named James Toney and was never the same again.

I disagree about Donaire and Canelo being overrated. They still are top notch fighters, but they both recently fought guys who were terrible matchups for them. It's not like they got knocked into next week. Both of them will be back, and are very much players on the world stage.

David Price had it so easy, Harrison was among his best wins and I got accused of hating UK fighters cause I said he would lose, Prince is in my personal favorites though.

Khan called Floyd a chicken in an interview and I laughed, I knew he wasn't a threat.

Donaire is very good but on Road to Donaire vs Rigo Max said Donaire is on the level of Floyd and Ward, I burst out laughing, I wasn't even mad, it was so ******.

Linares-the things that were said about him were insane

Marcos Maidana and he still is overrated.

how is Maidana overrated when there are so many on this site that call him a bum, and give him only a punchers chance against Broner? He's not even on people's top 20 of current boxers around here. He doesn't even make the "Gatti List", when he should have a couple times by now. Maidana earns every shot he gets. The guy doesn't get not one damn freebie.


here's a few.

Rios- Lost to Alvarado, and got the Pac shot...
Broner- Feasted on smaller men, didn't make weight, cherry picked Magic man
Ortiz- Lost to Maidana, quit actually, and beat a overrated Berto for the Mayweather shot. quit against Mayweather.. and went on to quit again against Josesito.
Juan Ma Lopez- Was destined to fall
Berto- He gave two people a Mayweather shot.. why? I don't know why
Guerrerro- Lighter weight guy.. moves up, struggled with Aydin, beat an extremely overrated Berto, and got a Mayweather shot...
Chavez Jr- feasted on no hopers for a long time.. Stepped up and got schooled.. Now he's a disgrace.
Alvarez-feasted on junior welterweights and welterweights... Beat Trout, and got the mayweather shot..
Bute- protected in Canada until Froch came along
Clottey- Had way more potential than what he became
Judah- rarely fought a disciplined fight, which wasted his talents


I still enjoy watching some of these guys fight, but they were all overhyped.

I'll put it like this Maidana lost to Devon 10-0 and people are calling for Maidana to get Broner fight, he appears to be getting over rated.

Berto idk why never not even at the peak of his hype he never convinced me so what has followed didn't really shock me. Also that Cuban prospect Angelo Santana that fought for Don king i had a feeling he wasn't the goods, never even heard of him before he got here and that Bajama mama dude proved why.

Hard to beat a guy who is allowed to hold 20 times a rd.

Watch the fight Devon actually got cheated a point, anyway I'm sorry but people aren't going to just trade with Lucas and Maidana.

So they should be allowed to illegally hold? Non stop?
