Really thorough post.
I admit I was surprised to see Pacquiao and Mayweather in the overrated list ... could you please explain the reasoning behind that? I’m not looking for an argument, just interested in hearing your thoughts.

As for underrated, good call on Lara and R. Lopez. With regards to Lara, I admit for most of his career I’ve seen him as a talented gatekeeper, but over time, I’ve come to realize he is much too talented to be called a gatekeeper. He has very quietly gone and built himself an excellent career resume. Maybe even worthy of the Hall of Fame.

But he beat Canelo, Pacquiao, Márquez and made it look EASY WORK

Underrated:

Chris Eubank Senior.
Prince Naeem Hamed.
Wladimir Kiltschko.
Anthony Joshua.

Overrated:

Tyson Fury 'Because he is held to a lower standard than Joshua.

Over - David Benavidez. People seem to rate him reeeeealy highly without him having to prove it against elite fighters, plus he's huge at the weight.

Under - Danny Jacobs. His comeback from illness I find very impressive. Very competitive fights with guys like Derevyanchenko, GGG and Canelo, some of whom were way more highly rated.

Pac with an injured arm beat floyd and the video supported my claim.

Maybe floyd beat weight drained canelo and bloated jmm who he cheated on the scale.

['b']

other than the guys who were wiped from the p4p rankings for losing above their natural weight classes (rigo, chocolatito) I'd have to say Josh Taylor (I know a lot of Brits are UK/Euro level, but he is quite good) and Nayoa Inoue.

Yes, Rigo is merely a 'regular' champ at the moment, but the point is the same. Inoue isn't underrated either by those in the know, so more like 'under-appreciated' as the little guys don't really make big headlines in the west, especially foreigners from Japan of all places
