    So, losing via robbery to the P4P best the US has produced since Floyd Mayweather Jr. and coming back to dominate via one sided schooling the man who stopped you at an advanced age when you're considered shot and past it, is now considered overrated.

    You're a ****ing idiot.

    Sure but no one has the skills that Loma possesses. He's a once in a lifetime talent.

    So Joshua is a hypejob due to resume, but Loma with an inferior resume including a loss is a once in a lifetime talent.

    Stop fanboying and start appraising all fighters using the same criteria.

    Close between wilder and canelo.

    Wilder lost to Tyson badly and got exposed . Roidnelo has 4 losses on his record and counting.

    On that list, relative to general rankings and discussion; Spence, Golovkin, and Wilder. None of the others fit the bill in my opinion. Sure, Joshua has 5% of his fanbase as loonies. Lomachenko is crazy overrated by a much larger % of his fanbase but is also great and proven enough that I'll leave him off the list (whereas with Golovkin, he is largely the definition of the term [once again, relative to being an elite P4P-type talent]).

    How terrible is the P4P top 10 this past half-decade or so? My God. At least we had a year of Roman Gonzalez as King plus Ward/Kovalev and Golovkin/Canelo matchups. And how terrible are boxing fans that those rivalries are the most whined about subjects of the past half-decade or so too.

    GGG is now underrated tbh. His biggest fights came now when he is old and past his prime and he doesn't look so good. Few years ago he was overrated, he is not on the level of Hagler, Monzon, though would give every middleweight a really difficult fight. But right now people are evaluating his skills focusing mainly on Jacobs and Canelo fights completely forgetting him in his prime, when nobody wanted to fight him.

    To many people are hating on Canelo to call him overrated. Same with Wilder I guess.

    I think Spence might be a bit overrated as of now, beacuse I saw quite a lot of P4P lists with him in the top3.

    I would say Mikey is the most overrated from above, he does not have a great resume and he was really high in P4P talks, also many believed he could beat Spence. The narrative is changing now though.

    Deontay Wilder, closely followed by Gennady Golovkin. The first one (Wilder) is undeniable and self-evident. Whilst the latter has become grossly overrated, ever since numerous of his groupies and fanatics started saying he would DEFINITIVELY KO ex-cancer patient Daniel Jacobs and ex-welterweight Canelo Alvarez. Now that none of these things have happened, those same fools aren't willing to take the blame and responsibility by admitting they were wrong in their 'rating' of Golovkin and therefore being critical of Golovkin. Instead, we see these same 'groupies' shouting and crying 'ROBERRY DOE' and 'JUDGES AGAINST GGG DOE', instead of CORRECTLY saying "GGG is an INSANE feather fist of the highest order for failing to achieve the feats that were expected of him.

    Well he isn't. Mayweather was better, so was Pacquiao. Even a prime Rigo was on par with him pfp
    He's sick and has great footwork but he's not a 'once in a lifetime talent'

    For the most part I agree. GGG was far from a bum, he was long reigning champ. Who Canelo ducked and robbed. But i agree he was overhyped and pegged as more than what he was.
    But Really? Duran and Leonard would be KTFOd by a prime GGG. Hell even Hearns and Jones would have to be careful. He's a better MW than either of them beat at MW
