Top 5 most overrated boxers of All Time

I feel "uncomfortable" when people unnecessarily decide to diverge from the subject of the thread and the forum for the purpose of rambling on and on about pointless matters while boring everyone else to sleep.

 

Perhaps they fall asleep.

 

Junk food to go with your junk posts.

 

Terry Norris will never be forgotten as long as his rectum kisser Red Rooster posts here.:good

 

Just being done as a point of reference. If think Louis' style was boring that's your prerogative, of course, but it would be interesting to contrast it with fighters and fights that you do find captivating, just to get an indication of where you're coming from when you say this.

And yes, I'll be happy to provide you with my list, if you'd like.

 

This is a good thread. Frankenfrank blatantly defending his alias was classic.

Ezzard Charles being overrated is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard, especially when so many 'experts' ignore him when referring to great light-heavyweights.

 

There is plenty of footage and additionally to that many many newspaper articles and other published things about those guys. You just have to do some recherche to see the truth. But, yeah, I know working for your knowledge isn´t very common knowadays because there is wikipedia and google. Right?

 

Christ, PhillyShell is one bitter man with a huge ****ing chip on his shoulder

someone just tell him he's superior to the whole human race and lets get back to boxing....

 

What does this mean? Is this a saying?

 

Ezzard Charles being deemed "overrated" is comical in it's absurdity and is general forum-worthy.

 

What is Gene Tunney also considered "overrated"?

 

100% right.

 

It is a saying. its originates from way way back in the day when a person would walk about with a small block of wood on his shoulder challenging anyone to knock it off him. A guy with a bad attitude kinda thing

 

hang on, could PhillyShell be one of the alt's of DINAMITA; their bitter argumentative style is certainly similar....

Although DINAMITA actually had boxing knowledge, so then again, maybe not.....

 

I don't find alot of ATG's overrated but Personally the 4 that come in my head are:

1) - Jack Dempsey: Very popular at his time, but will probably go down more as a famous celebrity than a p4p fighter. He held the title for a short period and make a couple of defenses against a couple of lackluster guys. That said, he does have some good victories against Gunboat Smith, Sharkey, and Carpentier, etc...but I don't see why alot of people actually put him higher on their all time lists over guys like Gene Tunney and Larry Holmes.

2) - Joe Calzaghe
3) - Rocky Marciano
4) - Ricardo Lopez

It's more easier to make a Underrated boxers list:

1) - Jimmy McLarnin
2) - Gene Tunney
3) - Joe Gans
4) - Kid Chocolate
5) - Vicenete Saldivar
