Cotto is most overrated fighter, followed by Tarver

[Carolina Bomber]

why should cotto fight a top caliber guy? Yea the public wants it but to me hes not ready and i think its the smartest thing to do to take ur time than end up another vargas. Same thing with Chavez Jr. kid is only 19. what the hell r u thinkin? and what about joan guzman? the guy he fought is used to getting into wars and is very tough and he came up from 122 to fight at 130. so judging hatton's performance hes gonna get knocked out soon?

JC Jr is 20 already, and idk Hatton may get knocked out since he almost did against a guy with a low ko percantage, he'd prolly be #6 on the list

20, 19. not enough difference. and yea hatton looked bad but idk i think it was a case of the jitters. if he fights margarito hes done.

Cotto has not fought a superstar fighter yet so that is still to be determined. But, so far he is definitely not overrated. He's on his way up, we'll just have to wait and see................

Most overrated and underrated boxers in my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

Overrated
1. Miguel Cotto
2. Antonio Tarver
3. Jermain Taylor
4. Joan Guzman
5. Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr

1. Cotto is a beast, fights and beats everyone that he's been put in with. Has shown the courage to get off the canvas, and come back to win in the face of adversity.

4. Guzman looks very promising, I've only seen him fight once, but I dont hear anyone talking him up like he's the next big thing, so how is he overrated. It's obvious he's got serious skills.

5. Is Chavez even old enough to buy alcohol yet? No one is calling him the next big thing, or anything like that. Give the kid a chance.

Also, I dont see many hyping up Taylor either.

Also a point I failed to bring up with all this Cotto stuff is Freitas. I dont think Freitas is under-rated. Freitas in my opinnion is a gate keeper type of fighter the way Corley is and Ike Quartay are. He is excellent against non-elite guys and against elites he will do well but will always fall short.

Corrales, Castillo even Juan Diaz would beat him but he would not get totally embarrased but it would be convincing.

i dont know to much about cotto but i did see his last fight it was pretty good but pretty lack luster at the sametime. but i thikn tarver should be atop of your list of overated if anyone. look at what he has done. he confronted RJJ when he moved up to HW. why didnt he show up to the post fight confrence after he beat woods?? bc he seen that RJJ just put on 25 pounds and seen that he would have to drop the weight to come fight him. if he wanted RJJ so badly he would have gone up to HW to fight him. RJJ lost all that weight in a short amount of time and still beat him. he talked about how RJJ beat up abunch of nobody's but look at his resume. he fought montell griffen, eric harding (lost the 1st fight by the way). glenn johnson too. samething beat up a RJJ who just was out to prove he can still fight. did you see that fight? i think i remember RJJ not throwing any punches. thats not bc he was dominated either. i saw alot of openings he could have landed some good shots on. but my top two overrated fighters are tarver and glenn johnson bc they didnt beat anyone good. they beat up on a old RJJ. again he is fighting hopkins and Bhop just doesnt know when to call it quits. yea he was robbed but he should just retire. he wants to fight tyson. come on are you kidding me. does anyone else see who tarver goes after. go after wlad or byrd or someone who actually held a title in the most recent years. not a mike tyson who hasnt had a good fight since the ear biting. please someone agree with me that tarver is MOST OVERRATED.

[AllEyesOpen]

i want to see Cotto vs Hatton and the loser of that fight would be the most overrated.

[SquareCircle]

that underrated list, instead of
1. Antonio Margarito
2. Edner Cherry
3. Acelino Freitas
4. Felix Sturm
5. Luis Collazo

should be more like

1.Margarito
2.Sturm
3.Collazo
4.Freitas
5.Cherry

cherry, while a pretty good piece of talent, I feel will never dominate on the world class level

[Southpaw16]

The most underrated fighter in the world has got to be Daniel Santos. This guy has a recent victory against Margarito. There is a lot of talk about Margarito, and none about Santos.

Sam Solimon is a close second behind Santos. People get fooled by the seven or eight losses on his record. To illustrate how much he has improved since his earlier losses, one of his losses right before he went on his winning streak was to Raymond Joval by majority decision. He fought him three years later during his winning streak and beat him by scores of 120-107, 120-107, 119-108, which by the way, is a hell of a lot better than Fernando Vargas did against him.
