    Michalczewski.

    He had to fight live and death with middle class opponents, during he was hiding from a real challange.

    Thats good he fought the best but from all the praise he got i dont think his fighting skills compare to that at all. He had a great left hook and a decent jab. but it was not like he was super fast, his defense wasnt great and he lost most of his big fights. To me hes overrated. and im comparing that to the praise he got. if he wouldnt have been such a superstart he wouldnt be overrated but since everybody thought hes was the next great thing and he lost his biggest fights, that = overrated

    Mayweather?? your nuts bro! U know damn well hes one of the best ever. Just his defense only is top 5 ever if not top 3, so how is he overrated??? he doesnt get touched and fought top competition his whole career. just last year he took the fight everybody wanted him too (Canelo) and lost maybe 1 or 2 rounds against a prme, bigger fighter but u say hes overrated?? Nah :patsch:patsch:patsch

    What neither ODLH or Mayweather are most overrated of the last 20 years, For me that title goes to Tszyu i'm sorry but why is he in the HOF who did he beat, Zab, old JCC, Mitchell, got beaten by Hatton who got destroyed by Mayweather and Pacquiao imo Tszyu relied a lot on his power and i still think if Zab hadn't been an idiot and just taken a knee he would have gone on and outpointed Kostya

    :deal

    Mayweather is good but overrated. This is because he has consistently cherrypicked fights that make him look good. He hates bad stylistic matchups and will only take on fights when flaws are exposed or they are good styles for him.

    I don't agree.. i mean mosley beat oscar twice lol so there we go he isn't undefeated on floyds resume. Oscar wasn't a star because of his skills like the OP makes out. He was talented yes but he was a star til the end... because he was a nice guy, talented, fought the best and won countless world titles.. being mexican american also helped and winning a gold medal.....

    Most overrated, jeff lacy always enters my mind. Boy that guy was hyped.
