Overrated Wins In Boxing History

First Floyd ; It does comes up all of the time and the argument if that Baldomir was the lineal champ.....blah....blah...blah

Margarito ; Because there is this huge question mark over that win and the now known hand wrap situation

At the same time i will add another to the list

Tito over Oscar is overated, and I love Felix but its true he barely won that fight and in hindsight Oscar was never that great to begin with

 

Chavez-Whitaker was a draw (which was still a horrendous decision, to be certain).

 

but to be fair lacy was a big favourite to win that fight with most US posters picking lacy. no one was saying bad things about him until calzaghe put on a clinic, which ruined him.

 

Huge question mark or not, that was a big win. And of course Cotto fans are sick of hearing about it, but the facts are... Margarito took a guy who was supposed to beat him and put his face through a meat grinder.

Nothing overrated about that one.

 

Jones-Ruiz was nothing special to me.

 

suppose he used plaster like me and Jim Lampley and many other people think he did

(although at this point nothing short of a confession can prove he did)

is it still not "Overated"?

 

I'd also say Calzaghe-Jones, Cazaghe-Hopkins, the reason being is because of those wins he was P4P, a legend, a great, and it cemented his legacy when Jones was damn near shot, and Hopkins arguably won that fight, and Hopkins is not even in his prime, no matter how good he looked in the Pavlik fight. Calzaghe feels he can retire because he fought in US twice with two fighters past their prime.

 

im a Winky Wright fan, but his win over Tito is bleh

 

At the time, it was thought by most that Willard was the overwhealming favorite, and that Willard might kill Dempsey. Of course, hindsight is 20/20 and we can see clearly now after the fact.

 

Calzaghe/Jones

 

Pac/Morales 2
Pac/Morales 3
Pac/Delahoya
Calzaghe/Jones

What he said!

 

Yes, along with Lacy like mentioned earlier.

Hatton over Tszyu. Tszyu had three fights in three years and before beating Mitchell for the second time he was coming off knee surgery.

marquez/casamayor
marquez/barrera
