    By all means, refute the points made.

    One thing I'll say about Barrera/Hamed is that it wasn't the pure boxing masterclass people make it out to be. In fact, Barrera often looked quite sloppy/disjointed. Hamed was just pretty damn easy to catch, and Barrera protected himself well.

    Agreed. Even as a massive MAB fan, I don't think there was much clean work on the part of the Mexican to rave about. In fact, had he fought the whole fight like he fought the last two rounds, MAB could have probably forced a stoppage. He showed Hamed too much respect, in my opinion. The rounds he did lose were given away due to inactivity.

    I don't think Barrera-Hamed is overrated at all in any way. JMO.

    Hatton got a lot of juice on the back of that horrible fight.
    Addie makes fair points but it tasted so sweet to see Hamed humbled and that means it will always hold a special place in many hearts.While it wasn't exactly a beatdown,the fact that Barrera showed such a superb adjustment in style against a fighter who was tailor-made to expose his previous style raises it to a great win for me.It can be fairly argued that Hamed is not his best win but shutting him up is not overrated for me.

    Pacquiao vs Margarito

    I have said it all along. If you have speed and stamina then Margarito is an easy fight to win. PERIOD.

    more overrated is Dawson - Hopkins because Dawson got the belt doing nothing

    Not really. A green as hell Sergio Martinez had both speed and stamina, and got stomped. You evidently need more than that.
