Agreed. Arreola looks like a fat bouncer from a dive bar, and fights like one too. I just can't believe he is being hyped at all - one look at the disgusting fatbody tells you all you need to know. He makes Sam Peter look like a bodybuilder.

Now that is a fight I'd watch if it was free, Peter v. Arreola, just to see Arreola get dropped a few times so I could laugh my head off. I always thought Peter was overhyped, but he is a boxing ATG compared to fatass Arreola.

Honestly, Arreola-Peter would be a very entertaining fight! That **** would be hilarious. I don't see Arreola lasting more than 4 Rounds, but it sure would be fun to watch!

His hype train was derailed after the cheating and especially after Shane KTFO of him or else he'd be #1.

who was aging and mostly inactive for three years. His only attempt to beat a great fighter in their prime ended with him being KO'd by a ring post. He somehow is being hyped by the Brits again for beating feather-fisted Paulie the Drag Queen.

IN WHAT WAY DID HE CHEAT??? AND YES HIM BEING IN THE P4P TOP 10 IS QUESTIONABLE.

2)Pac-Man-the Pac-Man hype express is so out of hand he his bound to fall hard except he won't fight one young elite fighter who is not past their prime which his arch-rival JMM just did. Barely beating JMM and fighting two human punching bags in one year does not make you p4p #1 or great. He has only fought one style of top tier fighter (all were past their prime).

HE STARTED HIS CAREER AS A LIGHT-FLYWEIGHT AND HAS MOVED UP ALL THE WAY TO WELTERWEIGHT. IF THAT'S NOT AN ACHIEVMENT THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS. HE BEAT UP BARRERA IN THEIR FIRST FIGHT WHEN BARRERA WASN'T MUCH PAST HIS BEST. HE DREW WITH MARQUEZ IN THEIR 1ST FIGHT (I HAS PACMAN 1 POINT AHEAD). HOWEVER, MARQUEZ SHOULD HAVE GOT THE DECISION IN THE SECOND FIGHT (I HAD HIM WINNING BY A POINT). HE BEAT A WAY PAST IT MORALES YES. BUT HE IS NO WAY OVER RATED.

3)Carl Froch-Maybe he should change his name to Carl Fraud. His biggest accomplishment is running his mouth and being obsessed with Calzaghe. He has not beaten one world-class fighter and yet has a belt. He will be back to fighting journeymen in the UK when Jermaine Taylor is done with him.

I DONT THINK MANY PEOPLE RATE HIM NEVERMIND OVERRATE HIM. I DONT LIKE HIM MYSELF TO BE HONEST. HES A B+ FIGHTER AT BEST.

4)Arthur Abraham-Once again who has he fought other than Euro-bums? Oh, he fought Miranda, got his jaw broke and took 2 fights to KO him while Pavlik destroyed Miranda in half-a-fight. Pavlik will beat his turtle shell down with ease, especially considering the way AA sits on the ropes. The only thing he is King of is fighting nobodies.

AGREE HE IS SLIGHTLY OVERRATED. HASN'T REALLY FOUGHT ANYONE EXCEPT EDISON MIRANDA. BUT I THINK HE CAN BEAT EVERYONE IN HIS DIVISION. JUST NEEDS TO PROVE IT BY GETTING THE BIG FIGHTS.

5)Amir Khan-never has beaten anyone of significance and was KO'd by a C glass fighter who made him dance off a jab. He has a glass jaw and

. A Mere Con. Will be no surprise if a shot Barrera KO's him.

JUST SHUT THE **** UP U ****! GLASS HEART? HOW THE **** HAS HE GOT A GLASS HEART PLEASE EXPLAIN???

6)David Haye-David Hype is much like Carl Froch in that

This content is protected

I THINK HE PROVED HE WAS THE BEST CRUISERWEIGHT IN THE WORLD DONT YOU? PROOF THAT HE HAS GOT A CHINA CHIN? HE GOT HIT ON THE FOREHEAD IN THE LOLENGA MOCK FIGHT, WAS TKO'D BY CARL THOMPSON NOT KO'D. YES HE GOT KNOCKED DOWN BY MORMECK BUT THAT HAPPENS. AND COURAGE TO FIGHT WLADIMIR OR VITALI? HE'S DYING FOR THESE FIGHT.

7)Alfredo Angulo-he is a bad copy of Margarito. Very one-dimensional and not as good of a chin. El Perro is more like a Shitzu than a Bulldog or Pittbull. Kirkland would destroy him within 2 rounds. He is too easy to hit. Has no defence or skills to speak of other than decent power.

YEAH AGREE HE IS A BITOVERRATED.

8)Kendall Holt-What is there too say. His only claim to fame is a fight he won by a head-butt, otherwise he would have been stopped in the first round. Bradley will make him look foolish.

NOT MANY PEOPLE OVERRATE HIM :huh

9) Chad Dawson-dropped by one dimensional Adamek and then fought two senior citizens, barely beating one of them. A questionable chin.

HES CLASS MATE NO WAY OVERRATED !

10) Adamek-Very one dimensional. Has never beaten anyone that was very good. Cunningham and Banks are average at best and Cunningham almost beat him, even after getting dropped various times. The most Robotic fighter in the world.

CANT COMMENT ON ADAMEK AINT SEEN MUCH OF HIM.

He has been knocked down and knocked out by glancing blows. He's holding out as long as possible to keep building the hype but his china chin will be shattered if he ever actually gets the courage to fight Wladimir or Vitali.

Good calls on Abraham and Froch. I used to think Abraham was a legitimate threat to Pavlik, but at that time most of what I knew about AA was ESB hype. After I finally took the time to watch a few of his fights, and dig past the surface of his resume, I changed my opinion drastically. Arthur does not have a single opponent on his resume' that would last more than 8 rounds with Zuniga, and KP beat Zuniga way back in 2005. If any aspect of Arthur's game is more over-rated than his power, it's his defense. The guy has never faced a world class opponent, but people compare his defense to a prime Winky; ridiculous. Stylistically AA is a sitting duck just waiting to get Pavlikated. Arthur's defense consists of laying on the ropes or in a corner with his ear muffs on. On the ropes, or in a corner? That's where Pavlik's victims go to die!

The hilarious thing about Froch is that evey single guy he has talked smack about would beat him with relative ease. Calzaghe would "Lacy him." Pavlik would give him a career threatening beating. Kessler would win a wide UD or get a late TKO. Taylor will embarrass him 118-110.

Pavlikated, lol, that's a good one. I agree. No way he sits on the ropes and gets away with that against Pavlik.

Those fighter are not overrated. I don't care what Pac-Heads think because they cannot be reasoned with. Pac wasn't over-hyped until after beating a shot ODLH. The hype has went out of control since then but ODLH is very overrated himself.
