    'Overrated' is just another word to describe disdain for something popular and enjoyed by a majority.

    I disagree. It has something to do with it but theres been plenty of fighters that got to much hype and never livied up to it. Its like any sport.

    Certainly a top contender for "most overrated". I'm still laughing at the suggestion that Roy Jones "ducked" him, they probably have never seen DM fight. That said, he did have a beautiful jab and other than Rochigiani and Maske probably didn't take roids.

    Wrong. He was a good fighter but he ran into the wrong man in Super Joe.

    Lacy beat absolutely no one of note. JUst like calzaghe with his gift vs hopkins and career of fighting guys well past their prime in addition to bums.

    Anyone who says Pac or pbf can't be taken seriously for real boxing debate and should be banned for the sake of the forum.

    Well, you can certainly say that he went to US to Roy's fight to challenge him face to face. Not sure if Roy wanted to fight him though. I don't know how you call that.

    Plus Dariusz was the lineal LHW champion.

    Lady was nothing but smoke and mirrors a hype job. Who now is considered an ATG by a certain segment of the population. The majority of fans realize the truth about " left hook", don't let a vocal minority let you think he was anything more than what he was

    While I am not a fan of the kbros I do not think the are overrated in general. I think their fan boys tend to place them at an irrational high regard. I think most posters tend to have a more rational take on them as of late. Solid fighters in a **** era
