    Why in the hell would you give a rematch to a guy you beat without getting out of first gear easily? The fight wasn't worthy of a rematch. Maidana gave pbf a harder fight than pac did. Lastly if pbf is overrated that means everyone he fought was as well since he beat over 90% of them with ease.:deal: that means guys like pac Hatton chico and canelo and a host of others must be trash then, since they were all schooled by as you say an overrated guy. You sound like a bitter hater with an axe to grind.

    You certainly aren’t easily impressed :D

    I think if Usyk beats Fury and Wilder, that is it. Joshua has the deepest resume by far of any active HW, Wilder has the most power, and Fury is thought by many to be the best of this era (even though he hasn’t done nearly enough with his career to back that up). If Usyk has wins over all three of those, then it pretty much seals the deal on the claim that he is the best active HW as well.

    Loma for me. He's actually been named the best ever and he's not even the best over the last 20 years.

    Fury being the called the best HW is up there, but since he, unlike Loma, runs from the best it's easier to give him the benefit of a doubt for those so inclined. "If he wasn't such a yellow belly, he'd beat everyone out there with ease" etc, etc.

    The problem Usyk has is needing one of those guys to step up and actually fight him...

    He's beaten the guy with arguably the best resume in the division twice, and clearly enough that robbery was impossible - and with how much of a cashcow Joshua was, that has to count as a noteworthy handicap.

    I think it's worth looking at Usyk in context too...
    It'd be a stretch to say he's an all-time H2H nightmare at heavy, but almost noone does.
    P4P monster is justifiable on the basis of cleaning out CW mostly on the road added to respectworthy wins over one of the better heavies - and it's P4P respect that he tends to get.

    To each their own, but he's not overrated in my book.

    Floyd gave Maidana the rematch as long as Kenny Bayless officiated as he'd taken over from Joe Cortez as Floyd's Mother Hen "Protector" He never gave Maidana a chance. Bayless yelled STOP!! every time Maidana showed aggression,plus the SCREAM!!!! " He Bit Me " was hilarious.
    IV gate rules out any credit Floyd got against Pac He should have been suspended & the fight declared a N/C
    The "help" both legal & illegal gave him his inflated record

    Joe Joyce?

    Stopped in 6 by a 40 year old who has never even fought for a belt.

    Joe Joyce is one of the great frauds in boxing.

    Manny Pacquiao
    got ktfo against a no hoper in torrecampo
    Ktfo against Sangsurat
    went life and death with sanchez and got lucky to get a draw
    Lost to a shot erik Morales
    Couldn't beat jmm in 4 fights clearly and in the last fight got put into coma which resulted in jmm getting ko of the year
    Lost to an overrated Bradley
    Cherrypick gone wrong with a school teacher horn another bad loss
    Got outclassed in the fight of the era and best fighter of the era against pbf
    Got busted up and put out to pasture by an average ugas.
    Way too many loses and rematches for the hype he received. Well liked Overrated fighter. If pbf had his record and pac had his pbf would be laughed off the forum.

    Gggs best win is Danny jacobs yes you're overrated if that's your best win. Jacobs is a good fighter but nothing special he's not anywhere close to being a hof fighter. Ggg is overrated AF he got a ton of hype for beating cans for years funny how that knock out streak stopped once he started facing better fighters.
