    You are here still opening threads about him even years after he retired undfeated. I very much doubt he is overrated.

    Loma may suffer from having the most deluded fanbase in history (although Fury's is pretty bad at this point). Also benefitted from massive amounts of privilege being gifted a title shot so early on in his career.

    This is a loaded thread so I didnt vote. Floyd was/is not TBE and his career was not as cherry-picked as some people make it out to be. Floyd is an ATG and finds himself in the company of very few (Top 25 LOCK).

    I agree. Loma had the most delusional and irrational fan base I've ever seen.

    No one outside of his idiotic fanboys consider him the best or anything.

    Loma was overrated af when I made that thread. The results after proved that. Calling Floyd overrated even comparing Loma to him is insane. Now **** off Lance.

    Overrated by whom? Fans? That's what they do for EVERY boxer who have lived child. You're a Flo mo, fanboy... so you get it. It's what you do since you don't have the critical thinking ability to properly make a statement.

    You're a 5yo trying to discuss quantum physics with physicists..

    Do you think any fighters in history are over rated?

    People have lost their mind on this thread, and ironically it's the exact same people who lost it on your thread. I wonder why that is.

    Terrible poll choices
    He is not overrated but he isn't the best either

    Definitely underrated on this forum by the majority

    Why wouldn't he? I've never seen a boxer underrate himself.

    Well by definition you've kinda just called him over rated.
