OVERRATED ATGS? Hot take it!

Now explain why Floyd blatantly ducked Margarito??? The answer is obvious Floyd was scared stiff of Antonio after he saw what he did to Cotto making him QUIT on his knees After that fight the Floyd/Margarito was the one everyone wanted.. Floyd asked fans who he should fight next. They voted Margarito or Khan. Floyd ignored this & chose Baldomir instead Then Margarito stood before Floyd to quietly ask him "why wont you fight me"? I'm sure you've seen the videos online of Floyds histrionic breakdown he was terrified Stuttering & blabbering eventually losing control. people that were there claimed he actually messed his pants. What was the next thing he did He RETIRED!!! AGAIN!!!ROFLMAO He didnt come back until that Mosely Loaded gloves fiasco had unfairly robbed Margarito of his license so he didn't have to fight him. Only then did he come slithering back like a snake lol

 

Yes very serious. If you asked a random person on the street who the best boxer ever was chances are they’ll say one of those four

 

And for countless good reasons. They're definitely not popular for nothing.
I personally think that Pacquiao is the greatest of all time.

 

Fair enough, opinions differ. For me Pac is nowhere near the goat

 

Hmm? come up with a better heavyweight resume than Ali's.......

 

,,,,,,,,,,,ever heard of Sugar Ray Robinson?

 

Everyone is overrated because their human. Another pointless thread.

 

True, but he is a legend at welter for being that small and having that kind of success at the higher weights.

 

Absolutely

 

He certainly has an argument, no? Debuted weighing only 98lbs then went all the way JMW to beat Margarito. How many other former minimumweights have beaten HOF welters like Manny did? And even done so into their 40s? He has an excellent list of scalps to boot: Sasakul, Ledwaba, Larios, Thurman, Marquez, Barrera, Morales, Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Hatton, Diaz, and Bradley on top of about a dozen other respectable contenders. He's the only fighter ever to have been champion in 8 weight divisions, 5 of them lineal, and only boxer to win titles in 4 of the original divisions. To my eyes, he seems very near to being the GOAT.

 

Margarito is a piece of dog**** cheating trash.

 

I'll tell him this is what you called him OK ? Antonio is or was a FIGHTER. He was the guy that made Floyd **** himself in fear by asking him " Why wont you fight me" I'm sure you've seen the videos lol Now if you'd called Floyd that you'd be much nearer a true definition

 

Can’t believe I have seen Calzaghe and Marvin Haggler listed here, I think you just haven’t watched them box recently.
Calzaghe was ridiculous dominant in most of his fights but when needed he was willing to sit and trade shots, his jaw was solid and his jab was as good as anyone’s at the time, I think if you rewatch his career you will appreciate him more, as for fighting Hopkins and Jones at the right time, that’s one argument, but he was old himself and his hands were basically dust and he still landed the most punches on both in their whole career, he went to war with Hopkins he absolutely embarrassed Jones after being dropped in the first round. There are ways to put any fighter down and claim that they are overrated but anyone who doesn’t appreciate what Calzaghe did with his hands(and wrists) and even if you forget about that he was still a proper boxer and could adapt during a fight, he was always comfortable in the ring and was never ever out worked, he had generational stamina, work rate, solid jab, combinations, footwork, poise, solid jaw, and he was trained by his dad in a shed in wales. I think you should go back and spend some time and make the effort and watch him box.
Retired undefeated, think about that for a minute.

Haggler I don’t even need to go there
