Nope, current fighters are under appreciated. Except Povetkin, he's vastly overrated.
Is Tyson Fury vastly overrated?

Fair do's. Regarding Joshua's chin...he's been caught by some big hitters - Whyte, Wlad, Povetkin. I reckon he has a very good chin. At heavyweight they can all ****, but AJ has been hit by a few of the heaviest handed ones and his chin, and conditioning, have got him through. Chisora was out cold from that Whyte left, and Klitschko has dozens of ko's at HW.He was underrated by US brigade on here prior to the Wilder fight. Now he's overrated on here.
Let's face it, he's had 2 fights of note. One brilliant performance against Klitschko and one decent performance against Wilder. I say decent as he was fighting a guy who can only launch rights - and he got put down twice.
Fury would give any fighter in history problems. But the best would find a way. And in a top level fight with Fury you typically get 12 rounds to land on him.
I think we have a good idea of how good Wilder is. Good chin, big man, holds his power late, limited boxing ability.
Fury is an open book in terms of what he can and can't do. Awkward huge man, can move and box but doesn't look too finish fights.
Joshua is still the unknown. Just 22 fights, a very good resume, yet we still don't know just how good he can be. No obvious weaknesses but some doubts as to his chin.
I think Wilder's is decent too - really want Fury to get the belt he won but was robbed off - in the rematch. But if Wilder wins maybe, just maybe he will stop ducking Joshua and we will get to see that fight.Comment

Honestly mate, I said that PRIOR to the Wlad fight. That WK's schtick of leaning on and sapping the energy out of opponents won;t work with Fury. That is also Fury's schtick, and he does it just as well.Comment
