How badly overrated is Quillin?

[-PBP-]

He's not really hyped at all. I don't see any level of Matthysse or GGG level stanning.

He needed this tonight. Good experience for him.

Who is really hyping up Quillin? He is decent but no one rates him like they do Martinez or Golovkin. IN fact he rarely ever gets brought up.


I think he is pretty fairly rated

Like I said, not good defensively and doesn't throw enough punches. Never understood the hype, but I will say this, he's a lot better than he showed tonight and I think this may be a case of him needing to move up. As for Rosado, in my honest opinion he still sucks, he just does.

I honestly don't know what you're talking about. You must be overly sensitive to any Quillin hyping. I have rarely read anything on these boards that said Pete would beat GGG, for instance.

Possibly, since I recognize he isn't really good but these poll numbers are looking pretty good so far.

I not sure if Quillin is overrated. He is a good solid fighter, he has decent skills and punches hard but he has some obvious flaws to his game. I think he will probably knock out some good fighters and get knocked out by some better ones, but he's always fun to watch and can be in some big fights over the next few years at 160 or eventually 168.

And that's precisely why I'm disappointed in Quillin's performance tonight. Pete might just be a bit less than I figured him for.

Rosado was actually stalking this "champ". Never thought Kid Choc was deserving of being labeled a champion or getting that hype.

Depends how you rate him. Is he better than GGG? No. Is he better than Sergio Martinez? No. Is he better than Sturm, Barker Gaele? Yes.

He probably is the 3rd guy at middleweight. Overrated is really a word that gets tossed around too much here. rosado has a tricky style and I knew it wouldn't be a blowout.

[HanzGruber]

He doesn't even have half the hype of ggg lol. So don't know what you're talking about. But I think gg beats him. The doc was right in stopping the fight. That was a BAD cut and woulda been real ugly if he let them finish

And for the record check hook is a mental ******

[Foreign Soil]

How is he the 3rd best? That's overrating right there. If he faced Geale, Macklin, Murray, Barker - he'd probably come out .500 if he's lucky.

move up in weight class, or move up in terms of competition?
