    Can’t really say I feel anyone is overhyped in the heavyweight division anymore.
    Joshua was overhyped more than anyone I have ever seen, but the Ruiz fight ended that.
    Tyson Fury I could not really say was overhyped many had doubts about his performance vs Klitschko, and we never did see the rematch, his performance was poor against Wilder even taking in to consideration the time out of boxing, any hype he did have ended with his last fight.
    I would still say Fury has the best shot of being the undisputed champion.

    Both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder are overrated by many people.

    Yes, it's very well known across the forum, and it is quite obvious, they all pose a grave threat to health and well-being of Dillian Whyte.

    As opposed to a guy who couldn't drop Rivas and it took him 22 rounds to drop the corpse of Chisora? And it's not the power you fear, it's dem next level skillz.:deal:

    Lol and who has dropped Rivas? Dropped Parker though.. the undroppable.

    Please enlighten us oh Oracle CST, who will be the man to drop Rivas?

    Besides they may have better ability, but then so did Rivas and Parker and it availed them nothing.

    Sometimes, power and fighting beats boxing, with Whyte it is pretty much most of the time.

    Bring on ‘Dem next level skills’ we’ll be waiting on platform 9 and three quarters :yaay

    Besides of Gervonta Davis and Luiz Ortiz, 95% of the british fighters are so freakin overrated just because promoters need to sell fights. An example: who the hell would buy an undercard headed by Dave Allen in America? He would be just another Joey Dawejko and no one would know him.

    I would say fury, Lomachenko, ursk are the fighters I think are over hyped.
    Fury because I feel like people equate showboating with schooling.
    Lomachenko because I just don’t rate his style against top notch fighters.
    Ursk because some people are saying it is only a matter of time before he takes over the heavyweight division before he has even fought one, its beyond me how people rate him above Holyfield
