The Most Overated Fighter

Don't know how one could scream "I'm on Duran's nuts" with a louder voice (well, that would be the guy on here that claimed Duran would have beaten every active champ bar Holmes on that night in Montreal). Your opinion is either down to extreme bias or not having a clue of how to score a fight.

 

Did Duran even think he won? One of the most unsporting, ungracious fighters in boxing history, so he'd have been shouting 'robbery' from the roofstops, if so. Instead he just mumbled that Hagler wasn't as good as Leonard or something.

 

interesting words.
based on gonad shots, what else?

 

Ricardo Lopez.

 

GPater agrees with me

 

Yeah, I'll give you that. Surprised me, I must say.

 

:yikes

absolutly right,ali ist very very overrated

and i pick THE KLITCHKO BRO´s

 

The two Leonard fights for starters. Unsavory comments to Leonard's wife. Refusing to shake hands at the end of the first fight. Grabbing his balls. Quitting in the second fight instead of taking his ass whipping like a man.

He sent an opponent to the hosptial and said if he hadn't been sick his opponent would have gone to the morgue.

All this certainly adds to his lore, but I don't think it can be argued he was a good sport.

 

Hey, hey it was once. I've scored it to Hagler before and after that incident.

I do score heavily for ring generalship and Duran did do well at holding of Hagler with generalship.

Generally I dont agree with you itry and I'd like to keep it that way

 

And he wouldn't give Hearns any real due for sparking him. Said he had taken it easy becuase he thought Hearns was a chicken and mumbled something about Hearns hitting him upside the head. Not much of "I got to hand it to him, his power and accuracy were extraordinary. Nobody has ever hit me like that, before or after."

 

I think Joe Louis' H2H is pretty ridiculously overrated.. I know some people would put him within the top two Heavyweights h2h.

 

If you read my post before I wrote that Foreman made only 2 defenses in his first reign. So add that to his shoddy reign at 45 and now you have an overrated fighter...just like I stated in my post.

Many here at ESB rank Foreman as high as the #4 ranked heavyweight of all time. IMO that's far too high for someone who

I would and if I am right then he is in no way over rated.

 

No, but he told Gil Claney the reason he lost was because he was out of shape and he couldn't keep up his pace in the late rounds
