Name an over hyped fighter you knew was overated

[brickcityboxing]

People saying Mattyse are idiots, he lost his first fight to Danny and it was close. He got robbed against Judah and Alexander, he has some good wins and while not AS GOOD his nuthuggers make him seem the guy can fight, same thing with Donaire.

As for the topic, really everyone in Golden Boys stable is overrated and hyped if you ask me:

Khan
Berto
Robert Guerrero
Canelo (He is good but Cotto being -700 and Canelo being -240 against Floyd is the definition of over hype.)

I'm going to put Broner here too because it is just a matter of time. He's had some of the easiest opposition in recent memory with the exception of Canelo. Amazingly the guy they tried to write off and use as a stepping stone is the their best talent (Danny Garcia.)

That's pretty much the definition of overhyped ... Lol. People thought he was on another level and he wasn't. No one is arguing wether or not he can "fight".

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.

most people didn't think tony weeks the "ref" could do what he did(and didn't do)

Fuck off and stick to Floyd, Calzaghe or Klitsckho threads.

Whining about the Garcia fight isn't all that funny.

Marcos Maidana and he still is overrated.

dimitrenko & david price... said the same things about both & got called every name it the book...lol! i just said kept saying there were so many questions to be answered about both fighters that never got answered until they lost... i said can they go 12, can they take a punch, how do they handle it if heir opponent can take their best punch, etc... i always said until they answer those questions i will not hype them...

most of the people jumped on his bandwagon after he blew out Peterson... I picked Garcia because lucas lost to Judah & alexander... no elite fighter loses to Judah...

This is an easy question. Lucas Matthysse hands down. It was incredible to see how many posters on this site acted like he was the second coming of Aaron Pryor after KO Lamont Peterson. Lol it was ridiculous, I'm soooo glad Garcia derailed that hype machine, it was very satisfying.

[STREET CLEANER]

Amir Khan, and he is still over-rated.

Humberto Soto, never beat anybody and some ppl had him like a boogey man
