    X2 also fights more regularly when not being messed about and is a lot more entertaining.

    people right off Fury because they think his a big useless bloke who doesnt have a clue what his doing, which is over the top

    The reason people write off Kell Brook is that his fought no body and doesnt seem like his going to be fighting anyone good anytime soon

    Would you prefer to fight Pulev for a tenth of what he would have got for the Haye fight? If he beat Haye he would have almost certainly got a world title fight just that same as he would have got for fighting Pulev

    Ok im going to go underated as I dont really like to disrespect boxers.

    Matthews - Could have been really good ,

    Brook - Solid world level fighter

    Khan - always exciting

    Price - turned pro too late , should have stay amateur

    Burns - did great with average skills.

    peace.

    Bellew - talks the talk but never delivers

    Purdy - mediocre fighter given great opportunities only Eddie knows why

    Murray - built his reputation off fights he never won when champs had off nights, he would struggle with any decent fighter, no noteworthy wins.

    Chisora - in reality a plodder but heavyweights so bad he is a name

    Rose - decent jab, fortunate to be in a weak division, won't beat a decent fighter

    Id go for Brian Rose. As matchroom are hyping him as a potential world champion when in fact he's not even above European.

    But he beat Kostya Tszyu. Floyd Mayweather would give his left testicle for that one.

    Some people on here must be borderline ******ed since they don't seem to grasp the meaning of the word "overrated".

    Like the fool who mentioned Derry Mathews. How is Derry overrated? Nobody claims he's a future world champ or even future euro champ. He's just a top domestic level boxer, nothing more and nobody ever claims differently.
