Overrated fights

Yeah, for whatever reason I just never enjoyed it as much as others. It's far from a bad fight, I think I had it like top 30, but just never hit me in the same way as the ones in the top 10 did.

I love Arguello vs Pryor I man, it's just my type of fight I suppose.

 

I don't think it would make my top 10, but I enjoyed it more than Arguello vs Pryor 1, which felt a little one sided for extended stretches and didn't land for me like either Chacon-Limon IV or Gomez-Pintor did. It's obviously really good and well worth the watch. but it still lands behind Gomez vs PIntor on an all-time list.

 

I still have Pryor-Arguello 1 as my personal top fight with Chacon-Limon 4 just behind it.

I totally get why people would rate Chacon-Limon above iPryor-Arguello - for pure action it can’t be topped and it also had the drama of the final seconds KD that sealed the win for Chacon… but Pryor-Arguello was just a higher profile and higher level fight quality-wise with more at stake and still had incredible exchanges combined with boxing science as well as drama too.

You can’t go wrong with either in my view.

Gomez-Pintor I have around 5 or 6 on my own list, alongside Morales-Barrera 1. I love it that much.

 

To some extent, Leonard-Hearns l .

 

Gotta say Naoya Inoue vs Nonito Donaire. It's a fun fight to watch but still a one sided fight where Inoue only lost 3 rounds at most which doesn't warrant it being FOTY IMO. Most people love it because of Donaire's heart and being able to last the distance but truth be told he should have been counted out after that body shot knockdown.

Another fight that I found pretty overrated is Lucas Matthysse vs Ruslan Provodnikov. It gets overblown because of Ruslan's toughness but it was a fight that was mostly controlled by Lucas for the most part while Ruslan just ate shots without much defense.
