Pick your most Overated & Underated fighter right now

Better let him know what one is first - otherwise you might start seeing troops in malls all across America.

 

For the record:

Overrated: Froch
Underrated: Witter

 

Most overrated? Right now, probably Calzaghe.

 

I agree..hes up there

 

I don't know which one you are laughing at, but Cory is definitely under rated, he has been his entire career. And he has had a good career.

 

Overrated: Jermain Taylor

Underrated: Sam Peter

 

overrated- b.hopkins these days not prime b hop
underrated-katsidis

 

Overated- Every boxer mentioned so far

Underrated- Every boxer mentioned so far

 

Overrated- Eric Crumble
Underrated- Sugar Ray Robinson

 

Might as well call this post- "who do you like and who do you dislike?" because that's what it's evolved to. If I dislike Wlad Klitschko then he's "overrated". If I like Manny Pacquiao he's "underrated". Unfortunate but that's how most people's minds work here at ESB.

 

Overrated: Calzaghe(BEYOND belief, 2 name fighters on his record that MADE the fight happen by going to him, despite being champions. If it wasn't for them he would still be feasting on bums over there in Wales)
Underrated: Paul Williams

 

I thought you said your criticism of Calzaghe has ended and that he's an ATG with ATG skills.:yep

Another good two -

Manny Pac(over)

Joan Guzman(under)

 

Changed my mind, especially when I see him think over 1,000 times whether to fight a 42 year old Hopkins simply because HE HAS to fly all the way to America this time, like both Kessler and Lacy did for him. He has ATG skills that are being flushed down the toilet or viewed against bums in Wales.

 

Well, in all seriously, a fight with a totally shot Hopkins is a waste of time for anybody wanting to establish a further legacy and if you think Hopkins and crew aren't negotiating ridiculous demands, as would be Warren as well, all of the political nonsense, then think again.

I don't want to see Calzaghe vs. a guy who has no shot, a guy who struggled a year earlier against a fattened Winky Wright, it's a useless fight and Hopkins is not prime and is just a massive name, I don't judge guys for beating massive names, I judge how they defeat true threats.

Now Calzaghe vs. Dawson, that's a huge threat, one that for me brings significant regard for the winner.
