    Be honest be non biased

    List off a fighter you think is overated slightly overated or somewhat overated and a real reason or seasons why.

    No fighter gets a pass. List them with your own humble opinion

    Andre Ward is overrated as hell, why because he the only one who really beat carl froch.

    Take away carl froch W from his resume, what do we have?

      Amir Khan

      He fights like a drunk, he's too fast for his own good, it'l like his hands fly out in front of him and his body gets dragged behind them. He has no defence, physically he's very weak, he has very little power etc etc etc.

        Khan, I don't think Khan can even be classified as a good fighter at this point, so it's alarming that some would flirt with the idea of Khan fighting the best boxer in the world.

        Lara, people think he has a high ring IQ but he doesn't even variate his attack and he's too much of a head hunter.

          Andre Ward because if he wasn't permitted to use illegal tactics (head butt, repeatedly clinch, hit off the break etc.) he would be a very ordinary boxer. I'd respect him if I saw him defeat a decent opponent without resorting to illegal tactics.

          Floyd Mayweather, because he always fights with advantages: home advantage, his preferred weight (against Hatton and Canelo), referees like Bayless and Cortez that help out when needed, and judges who score rounds for him when he does little except run and pitty-pat. If Mayweather were to fight and defeat Golovkin at 160 (no catch weight, no home referees and home judges) then I'd respect him. After all, Roberto Duran who was a naturally smaller man than Mayweather moved up and defeated Iran Barkley, who was bigger than GGG.

          Amir Khan, who is really nothing special at all but who receives a lot of hype and media attention.

            Lara,I think he relies almost exclusively on his legs for defense and has know inside game.Thurman,has a so so resume and doesn't respond well when getting hit with a punch,also can be a bit wild sometimes.

              I don't think it's fair to say khan is overrated when he has one of the best resumes. BRONER and Brook are overated

                Rigondeaux.

                Lots of talent but also lots of flaws. People act like he's one on the talent level of somebody like Mayweather when really he's been slapped around the ring by C or D level fighters.

                I do think he has some great talents but also a knockout waiting to happen.

                    Uh, Kessler and Dawson (who, at the time, were more highly regarded than anyone Canelo or Golovkin have EVER beaten). Then you have solid guys like Abraham, Bika, etc who are still better than anyone on GGGs resume. Really a ****** argument. If you're going to hate, take a cue from Freedom and criticize Ward's tactics.


                    As far as guys I like, I really like Canelo but I admit he's a little overrated. Most of the guys I like are actually underrated and dumped on. When a guy gets overrated I tend to dislike him.
