    1) Floyd Mayweather Jr. (history of ducking, cherrypicking, and PED use)

    2) Mikey Garcia (weak sauce resume, but consistently praised as being P4P)

    3) Billy Hoe Saunders

    4) Errol Spence (P4P for beating... Bundu and Kell Broken?)

    5) Tyson Fury

    How could Thurman be overrated if he is the unified champ? Not a fan of the fact that he is inactive and seemingly ducking Spence but I can’t call him overrated.

    Lool I hope you stick with your boy Ortiz once Wilder gets his hands on him.

    Ortiz may be old enough to remember the Cuban missile crisis but he's a proper boxer which separates him from the sorry line up Wilder has faced to date. Wilder's windmills won't save him this time.

    If he's popping up on p4p lists and I don't think he's p4p yet.

    I think most boxers are properly rated in boxing.

    The overrated fighters (Rigo and Gonzalez) has been knocked down a few notches recently.

    Usyk is slightly overrated when people talk about him matching up with heavyweights, but he's got an incredible resume. Saunders won't be overrated when CEJ knocks out Groves.

    Inoue need to step up a bit and fight the best. He's getting rated highly without having to take on tough competition.

    maybe james degale. dude can still fight tho.

    you dont really no if there overated untill they lose or something bad happens.

    we may have overated guys like rigo an chocalito or maybe we didnt. maybe there were just 2 small guys who jumped up one to many weight class to make the money they can make

    That’s all good, I like Ortiz skills but the fact this guy failed the drug test for blood pressure medicine has me now rooting against him. I got Wilder beating him in a hard tough fight.

    There are people who put Inoue on the P4P list and he has never even unified a belt, Golovkin was on the p4p list way before his fight with Jacobs (which I had him losing in).

    What I’m saying is outside of Spence, Thurman has beaten two of the top 5 in the division, that makes him p4p for me eventhough I think Spence stops him.

    I'm going to go for Crawford. He has beaten absolutely nobody of genuinely serious note and yet is hailed as the second coming by some people. He may be that good but what's his best win currently?

    Him easily schooling c graders might be flattering his abilities.

    Lol at people saying Jeff Horn. All he did was beat another overrated fighter in Manny Pacquiao. Nobody ranks Horn in their p4p lists and the media gives two shits about him.

    Nobody even on this board pumps him up. He’s just a schoolteacher who gave Manny more than he could handle.

    You'd think Joshua and Fury were Lewis and Tyson the way some people go on. Usyk also just squeaked by Breidis so I don't think he's quite the impossible to outbox fighter some would have us believe.

    Yeah, this is MY list of who I think is overrated - think Thurman is overrated and gave my reason. Nothing in your post challenges that.

    Tbf, I couldn't give a **** who'S unified so that might be why we see things a bit differently.

    He gave Manny an F. I think he's rated at home though. Seems to be talking very loudly about 'easily beating' p4p ranked fighters. He must be following Danny Green's 'I just beat a shot to **** RJJ and that makes me an ATG' blueprint.
