    Most overrated fighters of the past 5 years

    David Haye, Andre Berto, Amir Khan.

    Being fast doesn't mean you have skills.

    There are such things as footwork, balance, intelligent combination punching (Berto was actually decent at that), ring generalship and instincts

    David haye surprised me when he said he don't have that much skills, and that is why it is important that he is explosive and takes people out.

      How is Khan over rated? If anything the guy has over achieved for a glass jaw. He has made comebacks from crushing knock out losses and proven his worth.

      After an overrated fighter gets smashed they either are never the same or go back to fighting sub-par opposition.

      As for the thread I'd say Broner because with Berto there wasn't that much hype involved as was with Broner given the Mayweather comparisons and all.

        Hell no Khan is overrated. Youre seeing what you want to see. I and many other fans see it that Khan is underrated actually.

        To answer the question: Berto, Broner, Ortiz, Marquez. Marquez is actually a very, very good fighter; just that people think he's great, which is a level too high for him. The others are just ass though.

          Just agree with Berto on your list, Haye beats every HW except Klitschko and Khan gives every LWW/WW problems, if it wasnt for his chin he would have 1 loss and that is also disputable (i thought Khan won the Peterson fight)

            Adrien Broner must be up there. Dudes were saying that he's going to take over boxing after Floyd. That was before Maidana dealt with him obviously.

                    Andre Berto, Andre Dirrel, Lucian Bute, Adrien Broner, David Price, Robert Helenius, Chad Dawson (to certain extents), Devon Alexander, and Lucas Matthysse just off the top of my head.
