    My opinion on fighters that I've watched:
    Berto is a very average fighter so yes, overrated. Bute had the talent but got mentally wrecked in the Froch fight that he easily could had won if he hadn't gotten careless. Price is a perfect example of a British hype-job. Dawson I honestly wouldn't say so, he's a solid boxer. Alexander is definitely not overrated, while Matthysse is slightly overrated. Broner is overrated but he has the talent if he decides to actually tap into it.

      Never ever been a fan of the guy but Chad does have a legit win over Hopkins who's about to be a 50 yr old unified champion.

        LUCAS MATTHYSSE!!!!!

        This guys was the built up on here to be some sort of machine, he got exposed quickly. Nobody was as hype as this guy, now he’s barely winning against ESPN level competition.

          Haye and it isn't even close!

          This god damn guy had people walking around like he was the reincarnation of Mike Tyson himself! LOL! People were like! "He's gonna use his speed and head movement to get inside and put Wlad on his ass!" Little did they know Haye has NEVER....EVER been the aggressor in a heavyweight fight. He always circles and tries to catch people coming in like he did with old Ruiz and Chisora.

          It was all nationalistic hype. They wanted the next Lennox Lewis and ended up with a fraud who talked so much crap only too run away from Wlad of all people for 12 rounds and then blame his pinky toe even though it was good enough to run the whole time haha. Up there with Ruiz-anybody and that Madison Square Garden Wlad unification fight as THE WORST heavyweight title fights in history....

            Danny Garcia without doubt
            Struggled his butt of with a well past it Judah
            Cleary got beat of Herera
            The fact that hes fighting guys like Rod Salka in his 6th title defence tells me everything. Hes hanging about at 140 coz he knows as soon as he moves up to 147 the myth will be quickly exposed
            Ide say Broner is more hated than overrated.He no doubt has got fantastic ability .It is his cretinous behaviour that makes people dislike him, not his boxing skills
            Mentions for Jeff Lacey,RIcky Burns,lucian Bute,David Price also
