    there is a difference between over rated & over hyped

    over hyped = berto
    over hyped = ortiz
    over hyped = gamboa

    nobody actually says these guys are amazing...they just get a rediculous amount of attention because they are young & up n coming guys...

    someone who would be over rated (these guys are just examples not my actual opinion) would be guys who people think are monsters who are really not

    over rated = pavlik
    over rated = cotto
    over rated = shane mosley...


    these are just EXAMPLES so don't get your ****ing panties twisted...

    ricky hatton is a good example over OVER RATED! not OVER HYPED!... ricky hatton didnt get much hype at all... just a large contingent of uk people saying he was a beast.... nobody says these young guys are beasts.. they just recieve a lot of attention because they are on the way up

    Floyd Mayweather bar none....no active fighter has been given so much hype and accolades with having done so little. His lightweight and junior lightweight days were impressive, but since Corrales what has he really done to deserve such hype? Beating an old DLH by split decision? Hatton?....2 guys little Pacquiao destroyed and far more impressive fashion.....Gayrunner gets my vote by none for being the most overrated and most protected/carefully managed fighter perhaps in the history of boxing.

    Arthur Abraham, and it's not even close. With 10 title defenses, a controversial fight with Miranda remains his best win at 160. He fights guys like Ayala, Marquez, Simon, and Oral, and half the posters on ESB cum all over themselves over how "great" he is.

    It's hard for him to fight anyone else considering how many people have ducked him. Sturm has been ducking him for ages now. Hhe turned down a shitload of cash about 6 months ago to fight another bum. Pavlik wants the fight but Arum doesn't- seeming that Pavlik is Arum's ***** this fight won't happen either. Get your facts right- Abraham is indeed a very good fighter. Go watch some vids of him if you've never seen him before; which is the way you're coming across.:good

    David Haye should be recognized as the #1 PfP and the #1 Heavyweight. This is a no brainer. He cleaned out the cruiser division except for a few nobodies like Adamek, Cunningham, Tokarev, Huck, Braithwaite, Flores, etc. He KO'd iron chinned Maccarnelli, he almost lasted 5 rounds with ex-supermiddleweight Carl Thompson. At heavyweight the picture gets even brighter: He destroyed the legendary Tomaz Bonin (only ko'd by atg Audley Harrison prior to Haye)..KO'd in 5 rounds the great Monte Barrett only one year after Monte had been KO'd in 1 round by the legendary Cliff Couser (26 wins, 20 losses). What else does Haye need to do to get credit as an ATG. Seems nobody wants to give him his just due for all these superlative achievements. And now both Bitchko's are ducking and running from him. David Haye might be the greatest ever to lace them up!!!

    But nobody overates Bradley though so how can he be overated, he takes the tough fights all the time. That should be something to admire so he is not overated. I think he has flaws but what fighters doesn't

    Have you never seen a Guzman fight dude ?

    That's plain stupid to say he is overated.

    He is a quality operator, you name other fighters who has the slickness he possesses.

    Sometimes I think dudes dont even watch boxing but still comment on it.
