It's only Calzaghe's haters who ever mention his win over RJJ. Calzaghe's fans know that was just a glamour fight to bow out on, and that it meant nothing.
Allucard is a horrendously bad poster. Thanks for taking the 1 minute to strip his post of any conceivable logic.
As for overrated... I hate to say it but I'm going to say Kessler. Sure, the guy has had some good wins but both times he has stepped up he has lost wide decisions. Ward and Calzaghe and very, very good fighters but the way Kessler's fan carry on he is meant to be some Danish terminator who fires lasers from his traps.

Mikkel Kessler
A prime Calzaghe was good. He even had punching power, since his hands weren't f**ked. Although he shouldn't have ducked Roy Jones Jr...A fight between the two in their primes would have been great. I think RJJ would have won though.

So, who is the most overrated European boxer of the past ten years?Originally posted by The Beatles View PostBrian Nielson???Originally posted by cace View Postyou only needed one name here and thats calzagheOriginally posted by jameshepenstall View PostNone of these guys are/were overrated at all imo, you missed Amir Khan though, he is.Originally posted by No Ceilings View PostJoe Calzaghe.
Hands down.Originally posted by PureBoxer View PostI don't think Calzaghe is as overrated as many think he is.
I know it's trendy to hate him, but he does have skills. His style is ugly with those "slaps", but effective. You don't move up in weight and beat Hopkins if you're overrated.Originally posted by Roy Hobbs View PostRicky hatton by a country mile.
Critique him for his slapping style & his best opponents age, but Calzaghe at least was visually a highly skilled & athletic fighter. Hatton i just cannot fathom how the british were so endearing to such a limited fighter. I dont get how he was entertaining to watch with all his hugging & smothering of opponents.Originally posted by Dave Rado View PostI forgot about him, but he's really only come to prominence at the very end of the decade, plus he's far too young to make a fair judgement about him one way or the other, IMO. The way he's ducked Maidana is bad, though, but I still don't think someone who only really came to prominence in 2009 could reasonably be called the most over-rated European fighter of the entire decade.Originally posted by No Ceilings View PostWhat he does is effective. His resume is my problem.Originally posted by `STEELHEAD View Postwlad this decade.
sfarce ottke of the 20's and 90's
Mikkell Kessler by far is the most overated boxer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People over here were not that impressed with Hatton and most reasonable minded boxing observers knew he had limitations. So how was he overrated?

In the UK he was certainly over-rated, at least by the media. The UK press gave him a very good chance of winning the Mayweather fight, FFS.
