    Not my list.

    Just pasting from other places a list of champions

    a lot of boxing fans and pundits felt was over rated. Who you guys got?



    Aaron Pryor.

    James Toney (I 100% agree with this one. This fat **** moron **** is def over rated. Stupid **** wins every H2H)

    Rocky Marciano

    Joe Calzaghe (I don't agree with this one, I felt Joe was a true champion and UNDER Rated)

    Julio Chavez SENIOR ( I 100% agree with this one. This ****'s 84+ win streak had a insane amount of bums in there)

    Roy Jones Jr ( do not agree with this one, the complains are that he didn't fight the best from his 'era' like Benn, Eubank etc. Not true, when Roy was reaching his peak, Benn and Eubank were past prime already and it would have been kind of pointless. Even prime for prime, they probably will be under dogs)

    Prince Naseem

    Joe Louis ( I don't know much tbh about the debate regarding Louis. Read on other site that half the people felt he fought 'bum of the month' club and the other half felt he was a legit top 5 ATG)

    Vitali Klithscko
    NOW THIS MOTHER ****ER. I 100% agree is a over rated **** robot steroid PED using scum bag.
    The one time he fought a CORPSE of an ATG, he got tko6ed and almost went blind.
    His resume is dog ****. His shining moment is getting his eye mauled by a semi retired fat as hell Lennox.


    90's George Foreman (comeback George)

    Andre Berto, not saying that he is the most overrated but he is really overrated.

    Ya but that's different from this list.

    I don't agree with half the list, but these guys on that list have all been called overrated throughout the years.

    You can call it 'haters' or whatever but the truth is every single one has been bashed for having

    '**** resumes' or 'weak era's or some other stuff.

    Not saying those guys are not good, just saying a lot of people felt they are rated 'TOO GOOD'

    Berto is a nobody compare to those guys

    If I had to pick

    out of that list

    I will have to go with Vitali. Don't get me wrong. I respect Vitali Quitsko

    I mean Klithscko

    But I just can't find myself to rate someone who was caught

    MULTIPLE times for drinking Peds and who also quit on his stool against Chris 'atg southpaw' Byrd

    ...Depends who you talk to. Most on that list are overrated by some, or underrated by others.
    I don't think any were really overrated.

    My mouse hovered over Foreman's name for a little bit, but what he did was pretty astonishing really. He never beat (or even fought most) the best men from his era, but he was a 40-something year old hanging tough with some pretty respectable opposition.
    So no, I don't think he's overrated, by and large.

    Great point. I was seriously thinking of Foreman as well.

    90's Foreman was being dominated against Moorer before that punch. I think people forgot about that. But like you said he was well past it and old as ****.


    There's quite a large group trashing Calzaghe as well. The thing is, I don't think Joe could have got the big matches early on in his career even if he wanted to anyways. So he had to wait till the end
