Top 5 most overrated boxers of All Time

yea, speaking of jokes, arent you the one who ranks SRL around #12 p4p? You and your sweat pea groupies

 

A lot of them seem to come from the HW, which could be to do with them being the most watched fights by people who are not big boxing fans. Tyson, Dempsey, Tua and a possible one who has not been mentioned is Liston.

It is difficult talking about overrated fighters as I dont want to seem disrespectful and while some people overrate a certain fighter, other do the opposite so it depends whose ranking you are talking about.

That Charles K.O was ferocious :bbb

 

Ignore sweet pea Boom_Boom. He's trash

I got TNT Norris way up high because of his ability to perform under presure situations along with his vast and boundless talents that enabled him to not beat but DOMINATE opponents like Mugabi, Leonard, Curry, Taylor, Brown. All prey to powers that know no equal

let's fact it, it was the SPEED that beat them all! And the way he was hitting the five time champion Sugarman Leonard? You ever see a man put leoanrd in his place lke that? That quickly? Not since Mustafa Hamsho put the fear of God in Bobby Czyz and Wilfred Benitez nine years earlier, had I seen a man been so intimidated

Camacho was great too, going the entire decade of the 80s without any losses and picking up three titles along the way

 

who gives a f** about UFC? I'm rather pay for some KFC

 

Joe Louis is cool :good

 

And incredibly overrated. And boring.

 

what heavyweights did you like to watch? Tyson? Ali? Holmes?

 

How was he overrated in your opinion?

 

Everybody likes Ali, so that's kind of a given. I like James Toney. And Joe Frazier.

I'm assuming that you ask in order to undermine my credibility in saying that Louis is boring?

 

So you agree that he's boring? Awesome.

 

I never agreed to anything, I was merely asking your opinion. If you dislike a fighter's style, that's on you, but to call him overrated despite what he achieved just because his style isn't to your preference doesn't really pan out. Regardless of whether or not you personally enjoy watching him, he was unquestionably one of the most dominant and effective fighters of all time. A 12 year reign with 25 title defenses is nothing to scoff at. I suppose you find Hopkins quite overrated as well?

 

I agree he is overrated also and the esbers here (Sweet pea being the main culprit) heaps way too much praise on those boxers from the 1930s like he's some big know it all

No, I was just wondering which heavyweights you liked watching

my favorites are Larry Holmes and Riddick Bowe because of his kick ass style

 

although I will say I wasnt bored by his style. You knew that whenever Joe Louis fought either he or his opponent or both were going to crash to the canvas

 

by the way Philly, it is good to have a knowldgable poster like you who speaks his mind and gives his honest opinion. You could say I am the same way

Once i start posting, it sometimes gets quiet. everybody stays out of the way for a few hours

 

Joe Louis was boring? That's a new one.
