    Lucas Matthysse. Not as good as he's made out to be.
     
  2. Yeah, it's an awkward question.

    Are you saying someone is overrated or crap? The two are mutually exlusive.... Martinez is one of the most overrated fighters at the minute, but he's still superb.

    Frankie Gavin, clearly he's a good boxer... But not the future world Champ some people think IMO of course

    Gennady Golovkin, though I suppose people are coming round to the idea that he's not as good as he was purported to be, or as good as he should be really. What happened to Golovkin the technicia? He just seems content to slug it out nowadays, but he's not really a brawler, so he doesn't slug too well. His performance against Ouma, was fairly uninspiring, though it was a great result. He has the talent to compete at the highest level, but his style is poor.

    Barker would beat him handily IMO.

    Gabriel Campillo. I've seen some very flattering things said about Campillo on here before, very flattering. The truth is, he's a skilled and capable fighter, also one that is on the wrong end of almost every close decision. For me, though, if he was as good as he's been proclaimed to be on here (like I said, a lot of positive things have been said), then the fights he participated in wouldn't be so damn close. I saw his last fight against Mora, I thought he won clearly, but he didn't look that good at all to me, a better fighter than Murat, but only marginally. He improved a lot after Uzelkov sparked him, but he still had a close shave with Lolenga Mock (who is feckin shite) and a very close first encounter with Shumenov. The way people talk about Campillo, you'd think he'd be miles better than these guys he's struggling with.

    Even after the Kotelnik fight there were way too many people picking him to stop Timbo.

    It was embarrassing mate, I remember people basing he'd beat Timmy after stopping Urango and your right remember even when fight was announced people predicting he'd beat Desert Storm.

    I rate Floyd Mayweather, but not as much as the consensus seems to, because I hate him and don't understand boxing.

    Do you rate Bryn or are you a ******? There is no middle ground.
