The most overrated boxer ever is........

maybe someone already said but julio cesar chavez for me go check his record on boxrec,they tryin to mould his son the same

 

Depends who's doing the rating.

 

Pernell Whitaker is the best fighter of the last 20 years

 

I dont know,but you may be right.

 

Roy Jones Jr is one of my favorites,

But he is defiantly overated, he one of the best ever and an all great, but hes not the unbeatable best Hd 2 Hd fighter ever that people make him out to be.

 

Those periods of inactivity kinda hurt him. In the 90s RJJ arguably has a resume as good or better.

 

the fact that the guy was a former lightweight KING and could even go 15 rounds with duran let alone beat a guy like iran barkley who is 6 foot 2 natural middleweight is amazing..... obviously no idea what youre talking about.......and obviously a guy who youtubes his boxing history

 

I happen to agree with you about Hearns,although I don't think it would have been as quick(2 rounds,whew!And it just as easily could have been over in the 1st.).However,concerning Benitez and Duran,if you watch both fights (RD v CP and RD v WB),you'll see a much sharper Duran against Palomino.

 

i would say ray leonard and def bhop that dude stinks sorry

 

rocky marciano (beat a bunch of old fighters that would be cruiserweights today)
joe calzage (reasons stated above already)
kostya tyzsu

 

Vic Glaschinyan

 

But to be fair, Durans victory over Iran Barkley was a great win.
Barkley was much better than his record indicates. After all, he was a three division champ (or belt-holder). No matter how, you have at least to be a good fighter to do that. He was also a very big, tall and strong MW (remember he finished his career as a HW), and I think it's fascinating that a former LW in Duran, who was past his prime already, can hold his own and beat a so much bigger opponent (who was at his peak at that).
Barkleys first round KO loss to Nigel Benn has to be put into perspective too - it wasn't Benn just entering the ring and smoking Barkley. These two went at each other swinging right from the opening bell and had an all-out war. Benn was on the verge of getting knocked out himself but managed to come back and KO Barkley.

I don't think Duran is overrated. He lost some of his most important fights but a 103-16 record in 7 weight divisions doesn't lie.

 

and how , the youngest heavyweight champ in history is the most overrated boxer ever.

Of recent times :

Judah - No heart

Malignaggi - Supposed slickster who couldnt dodge a punch if his life depended on it

Juan Diaz - Mid level plodder , who couldn't be arsed training

I hate to say this but ..........
Haye at HW - Unless he does something dramatic shortly this'll be one of the most dissapointing career moves of all time

 

Ali. Great fighter but still very overrated

 

Bute :d
