most overrated current fighters

joe calzaghe, hands down, with amir khan getting honorable mention

calzaghe-slaps way too much. he is also put on a pedestal by his supporters; c'mon guys, he's not ali, robinson and leonard rolled into one like you seem to make him out to be, he's a quick fighter with above average stamina who has been fighting in what has been a weak division for almost its entire existence, a skipping stone between middle and lt heavy. he has also held onto the least prestigous major belt for 20 defenses; he really only has 2 defenses as champ. before all you calzaghe nuts start mf-ing me up and down, im just saying that he's over rated, not that hes a **** fighter.

amir khan-over rated may be the wrong adjective, just way too over exposed. as far as im concerned hes a skilled young fighter who has much to prove before getting the exposure he's receiving. remember what too much praise too soon did to a certain american heavyweight?

 

yeah, i totally and completely agree, but who gives valuev props besides don king?

 

marciano loses to valuev? are these people smoking their gym socks?:rasta

 

First off, i don't understand your logic, but ok.

here's some fighters that i rate above calzaghe p4p:

bernard hopkins--maybe p4p #2. ring smarts and experience are a dangerous combo with bernard.

winky wright--toughest fighter aside from hopkins to look good against. killer jab and fortress like defense.

shane mosley--quicks and good power, fights all comers.

ricky hatton--did something even floyd couldnt do: beat castillo convincingly; terrific leverage and quicker than he gets credit for.

shall i go on????

 

blocky--

juan manuel marquez--draws with arguable p4p #1 pacquaio and beats living legend and still top 15 p4p mab.

mab--whupped morales, hamed, kevin kelley, rocky juarez, etc. takes on anybody. killer stamina and good boxing skills. can also brawl just a touch.

ok and just to keep it interesting heres some fighters i pick to beat calzaghe:

kessler-consistent power overtakes calzaghes workrate
roy jones-even though he's over the hill, he still has enough pop and hand speed to get joe. his angles are all wrong for calzaghe and jones has confidence edge.
bernard hopkins-slows calzaghe down with infighting and headbutts. lands exactly what he needs to when he needs to do it.
winky wright -jab jab jab. if calzaghe couldn't break through peter manfredo's defense (and make no mistake, he didn't) how will he get through winky's?

and if you dont think shane mosley is top 10 p4p...well...mma will welcome you with open arms

 

i stsnd by what i said. i think jones is too quick (yes still), too smart and has too much experience for calzaghe. the angles he throws are all wrong for calzaghe and he can still move enough to get out of the way of the first punch calzaghe throws, which prevents him from setting up combos. i think jones would frustrate calzaghe. i may be wrong, but its too bad wel'll never find out cause calzaghe wont fight jones.

 

which fights 6-8 yrs ago, barrera morales II and III, barrera juarez I and II?

or was it marquez-barrera or marquez pacquiao?
