I used to love watching Froch but he is wildly overrated IMO as well.

Of all time I’d say. Wilfred Benitez is majorly underrated. Was majorly overshadowed by the fab 4 but is an ATG in his own right.

Overrated, it has to be Mike tbh, some people go too far and actually underestimate his accomplishments but the casual fans crazily overrate Mike.

Over: Broner

Under: Yutaka Niida

Povetkin (only interim)
Josh taylor

I used to love watching Froch but he is wildly overrated IMO as well.

I actually think the opposite. He wasn’t necessarily a natural talent and that’s one of the reasons I think people under estimated him. His determination and ability to take a punch though could never be questioned.
