    actually dlh didn't meat mosley that convincley the 2nd time. Aside from the commentary, the fight was fairly close. Mosly's body work went unnoticed by Lampley and crew. The dlh/mosley fight I was referring to was their ww fight in 2000

      The eye test is impressive, obviously, but his resume is no better than GGG's.

        Loma is widely regarded as the most overrated.

          Yeah right now he is, he gets rated highly becaus he unified a division, but the truth it, it was a dead division and he was basically gifted the belts. Indongo? Come on. Postol? Uhh nothing special. Gamboa? Tiny dude who himself doesnt have any notable wins, the rest: Not noteworthy.

              Honestly, he's like on a pedestal for me that is rocking between overrated and not. He gets hit and sometimes I don't see so much what makes him great other than he's TOUGH. He fights hard and usually can outfight his opponent. His speed appears average and so does his power. Maybe above average power but again, we haven't seen him fight another ****er that is his weight or heavier.

              I think him beating a small Gamboa is a somewhat overrated win. Him beating Horn tonight still wouldn't change my impression much of him. Horn never beat a near 40yr old Pac out of his prime no matter what anyone says.

                I think he's not even vaguely overrated, but then again, I've never heard anyone say anything like your "someone just said" and I have no idea if they did, why they did, or if they were trolling or a megafan, which most big name fighters get. Pacquiao had people saying he would KO Leonard and Hearns for a while. So what? Someone said something in some corner of the internet and that means the fighter is a candidate for most overrated? Yeesh.

                  When you best win is VICTOR POSTOL, you really don't have much to hang your hat on.

                  Let Crawford fight MANNY PAC, SPENCE JR, THURMAN and GARCIA before proclaiming greatness on him.
