    Just curious as to which boxers do you consider to be overrated.

    IMO, Chad Dawson, Nonito Donaire and Devon Alexander are overrated. I consider William Gonzalez underrated.

    Underrated- In terms of people giving credit the Klitschko brothers and Sergio Martinez deserves more respect.

    Haye is massively overrated at heavyweight. He does have tons of talent, though, and he may go on to be a very good heavyweight champion. But his record is paper thin. Beating three old fighters on the verge of retirement has gotten him much more fame and appreciation than he deserves, which is the very definition of overrated.

    With the Exception of Yuriorkis Gamboa and Jean Pascal I completely agree, while I think Jean Pascal does get the figts and paydays he does, he is more avoided then not given due. In boxing when you are avoided its not because people don't think you are a force its quite the opposite.
