Is Oscar De La Hoya the most overated fighter of alltime ???

Bingo on both points.

I don't think Oscar gets enough credit for his resume and level of competition fought.

 

He and Lennox Lewis.

 

RJJ, fighting cops, janitors, donut shop workers(I made this one up), etc.

 

:deal

 

He was overrated during his run as an active fighter.

I think now most boxing historians rate him appropriately. Well outside of the top 50 all-time.

 

wasnt wearing those till david reid.

 

There's a whole lot of jealously in your life. Duran beat Leonard. That's huge. He doesnt have to dominate Leonard; anyone who can go "life and death with leonard" and win is a great fighter.

Pacquiao dominated/pummelled Barrera. Anyone who dominates a prime Barrera is an extraordinary (not ordinary) fighter. Only uneducated project-dwellers from illiterate families - such as yourself - would think there was a rehydration clause in the Cotto fight. Pacquiao dominated Cotto.

Anyway, I think ODLH is underrated, not overrated. He's incredible in resume and in talent.

 

people always refer to his resume...not the wins on it
big, big difference and a big part of the reason he gets overrated

 

He fought near everyone. You're gonna pick up some losses. For some people, the myth that a boxer is nigh unbeatable means a lot. He made more money than he should have, but I think he gets rated fairly here on classic.

 

no

 

Amir Khan not so long ago.

Bute.

 

Yeah must be close
