    If Danny Garcia was average and overrated, imagine what that makes Amir Khan who was destroyed by Garcia.

    Thurman was massively overrated. KO's dried up as he stepped up in class. Had a very short 2 fight prime and did nothing after that (not much before) It still annoys me that Kell Brook never managed to get in the ring with him.
    Brook could be classed as over rated - never proved what he should have in the ring. A combination off silly matchmaking and daring to be great I spose.
    Wilder - Huge puncher but he's lost his biggest fights now looks washed. Struggled anytime he's fought a truly world-class fighter.

    Overrated: Fury. Heard to many talk about him arguably being the greatest. Also he gets more credit than an athlete that remains in shape, because he lacked the discipline, and had to cut the fat. Ricky Gervais said it best, “A mother that’s a herione addict, but gets herself clean, is not a better mother than the person that never became a herione addict”

    Then again, some people think he’s simply a weight bully. Depends who you ask I suppose.

    side note: of this generation.

    Exactly. He was a bum, and another overrated one.

    Stiverne, De la Hoya, Briggs and Joshua come to mind.

    Pac fans will literally try to find out where you live and murder you. People forget, but the excuses they made for the Floyd and Marquez losses made Wilder's excuse look like a Pulitzer prize winning article. I actually enjoy his fights, but many of his fans are absolutely insane, and he himself has made some pretty poor excuses too. There are people who genuinely think he's above Robinson, Duran, Ali, Chavez, etc.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the most overrated boxer in the last 20 years.

    Over rated: Ward and (I'll get flamed for this) Bernard Hopkins

    I'm not sure, but I’m guessing in a few days, the loser of Fury vs Usyk will steal the headlines on this topic. At least for awhile.

    Stiverne and Briggs never really rated. Oscar was a great fighter despite his persona. Joshua is a good heavyweight. Not ATG. But good.

    Ward a tough fight h2h with anyone. But I’m with you on B-hop. Love the guy. But he good to very good. But never great. Jermaine Taylor was overrated for sure tho.
