    To say Trinidad is overrated begs the question by whom?

    He was a world class superstar knock out artist.

    He had flaws, but he was always awesome to watch and gave a lot of love back to his fans while pushing for big fights. Brilliant fighter, very entertaining and not over rated by any measure as far as I can tell.

    Floyd and Manny at the moment, well thats anohter story.

    Going up in weight is extremely difficult for some fighters as most people pack on 10lbs or so after the weigh in. Like you can def tell that Manny will stop at 147. Felix should have stopped at 154.

    All I have to say is I would be one happy m--****er if someone like Trinidad entered the welter ranks today. Trinidad was one of a kind.

    Well, if you think Floyd's better than Leonard, Pacquiao, Ali, and Robinson combined he'd be a good place to start at.

    Tito is not really overrated. He was a great puncher who could be outboxed, but never lost to bad fighters. A first ballot hall of famer.

    Ricky Hatton, on the other hand, is WAY overrated.

    I think the TM was a little harsh on Tito. I trip out how these so called boxing fans like to disrespect Great fighters. Getting on him for losing to Winky and Jones wasnt fair Tito was past it, plus styles make fights those guys would beat or give a lot of great fighters trouble much less a past it one.

    I agree Tito got a gift against Oscar but beating Vargas,Reid,Joppy,Prime Yori Boy,Carr,Whittaker,Blocker etc etc and defending his title numerous times qualifies the 3x champ as an ATG.

    SOme tend to overrate him but nevertheless he deserves the Props people give him. THere are other fighters that are overrated that id mention before Tito.

    I have him no lower than 80 on my atg list maybe top 70.

    I wonder how a poll that ask the question, "Has there ever been a poster stupider than Jacory Harris?" would turn out.

    How about a poll that gives people a choice; "Which poster is more worthless; Nallege or Jacory Harris?" How do you guys think that would turn out?

    based on activity and current overall dumb postings? Jacory has now surpassed Nallege. Maybe Nallege is shot or weight drained? Jacory in this post just KOed Nallege in just 10 seconds of the first round!.. lol!:lol:

    Surely Jacory is on some kind of Performance Decreasing Drug (PDD)...his posts are getting even worse.
