Most over rated fighters ever.

Your opinion of Duran blows, but I notice Amsterdam didn't even attempt to respond to this post.

 

yeah, vitaly certainly. but duran??? no way. he would have mutulated pryor.

rocky marciano comes to mind.

 

it's amazing how many great fighters people consider overrated. when i think of overrated guys like fernando vargas, antonio tarver, jermain taylor, and winky wright come to mind.

 

Who is the most overrated fighter ever? Definitely NOT Roberto Duran. He was perhaps the best lightweight ever and put up his best 147 version against anybody today, and they get beat up.

 

He may well not be quite top 10 depending on how you look at his career, but calling him a poor man's Pryor just shows you haven't seen nearly enough of him or have no idea how to analyze a fighter's abilities.

 

Duran would outdo him on the inside, being as he was much craftier and more skilled, had a better outside game and was a much better defensive fighter. I don't figure Pryor lands as cleanly and his wild style leads him to getting caught often and I'd say Duran ducks and weaves more than a few of his punches. By virtue of getting tagged less and tagging Pryor cleaner, Duran wins this matchup, and no way Pryor is tiring Duran.

 

That's all I needed to hear, argue with someone else.

 

Duran- overrated
Johnson- underrated
Jam Killer- moron

 

ALexis hit him with quite a few VERY cleanly.

 

Nah, Duran was off rhythm yes, but more calculated I'd say, Pryor was often hit on the way in and off balance, which is why he was dropped by smaller punches than he should've been at times.
