      i assume that is why you watch boxing, right? to be entertained in great fights.
      oh yeah your right gatti-robinson and gatti-ward were such snoozers. what an overrated fighter.
      Those guys are not any better bud. If you take 2 fighters that are in the same level, could be 2 amateurs or watever the fight could be interesting but doesnt make them good.

      Those fights were great and entertaining. I agree with you Gatti has brought us good fights. But we are talking about two different things I think the thread is talking about overall fighters and their actual skills. In that regards Gatti is over rated, HBO has contributed greatly into this.

        I'm not saying Winky isnt good, but I just dont think he has earned the acclaim he is currently getting, that being P4P in the top 3. I'm not saying he wont earn it I'm saying that I want to see him beat big name natural middleweights and then I'll re-evaluate my estimation of him. I do think that he is attempting to achieve this is fighting Jermain however IMHO I think Taylor's gonna win with atheticisim and his jab. I think B-Hop who I think is craftier than Winky was outmatched by the athleticisim of Taylor. B-Hop enjoyed a strenght advantage in a lot of his later big name fights against Tito and ODLH but when matched against a true middleweight with athleticisim he came up short. I think the same will hold true for Winky.

            Just curious but how is Wlad overrated? I constantly hear nothing but people belittling him, rarely do I hear things like he's the heavyweight savior...and even when I do hear things such as that he's the heavyweight savior, is that considered overhyping someone with the HW division being as weak as it is?

              Definately. With Pac, only because of his fans and the fact that he really is one dimensional. He just needs to fight a true boxer that can neutralize his onslaughts (cough cough Raheem cough).

                  Antonio Tarver, easily. He beat an old Jones, then Johnson. Who else is he gonna fight at 175? Woods? No. Erdei? No Briggs? No. He is gonna fight Bernard Hopkins. He should not be in the P4P ratings.

                      I'd say Tarver, and Wladimir. Tarver hasn't beaten anyone too special(washed up Jones) and Wladimir has no chin, and just doesn't impress me.
