    Who are currently the most overrated active fighters?

    Here are a few I consider very overrated:

    Bradley - he apparently 'finds a way to win'...in other words he gets gift decisions. Pretty solid all-round fighter, but how/why people had him as high as 3rd in their P4P rankings is beyond me. His best win (legit win) is against a 40 year old Marquez who has a history of struggling against fighters who can move.

    D.Garcia - slow, flat-footed, no head movement, no jab. He's got decent power and a good chin, but he lacks natural boxing ability. He can easily be outboxed.

    Provodnikov - talentless, predictable, robotic. Extremely overrated power. Good watch though.

    Maidana - he's been getting so much unwarranted hype recently. I like him, but he's no monster.

        All those guys have proven themselves against credible adversity.

        It's fighters like Wilder, Golovkin and Kovalev that get overhyped.

            Bradley is definatley over rated.
            Danny Garcia maybe a little but he still beat Lucas any way you look at it.
            Provodnikov is fun to watch but I'm not sure where you get overrated from.
            Maidana, didn't he just beat up some other overrated guy?

                Well Bradley is overrated but quite a few fighters are.

                  I think a couple things are being confused here. Yeah, Maidana and Provodnikov are certainly not overrated. Everybody acknowledges that they're one-dimensional sluggers, but they're fun to watch and bring it every time so people like them. Bradley and Garcia may be overachievers, but they've beaten top notch competition and don't deserve the overrated label.
