Historical list would take me too long to think about. And make a bunch of people cry and send me death threats (actually that makes it tempting).
Current fighters:
Broner. Given way too much attention for what he was because of association with floyd.
Kell Brook was the most overrated boxer pre-Golovkin. He really did very little other than be some guy who popped up as the manny/floyd thing was winding down, inherited a ****load of fans, p4p status, but his record at the time was that of a shallow prospect. It was bizarre to me.
I used to think Ward was underrated for winning the super six and not being as big a star as floyd etc -- but after the Kovalev fights i think he's switched into overrated territory. Those were not legitimate wins. A bad decision and a completely illegal finish that should have been a DQ. If he had truly moved up to 175 and proved the doubters wrong with legitimate victories great -- but those were both shady piles of **** and settled nothing, he didn't look good.
Golovkin goes in both directions. There are a ton of people who hate him and **** on everything he does like they do with all Eastern Euro fighters -- and naturally this has created a second group who worship everything he does, pretend every punch he gets hit with is "part of his plan", etc. It cracks me up.
Conor McGregor: Many of you have been tricked by all of this gossip and hype into actually giving him a chance. He's terrible.
