    I always remember watching Pavlik- Rubio and thinking....you know what, Pavlik is actually not that good. Dont get me wrong I knew he was limited, albeit also very good at what he does, but that fight kind of reminded of his limitations.

    May v Hatton. I knew personally but had so many people try to tell me otherwise. Also made £1250 that night as well. Money lives up to his name.

    Camacho-Leonard too.
    Macho should have got that old journeyman out much sooner than he did.

    Are we talking about said overrated fighter winning? Kinda defeats the object if they get dominated and stopped, easy to say a fighter is overrated after that.

    Calslappy was a top 5 P4Pr back then, but yeah, he really started Lacy's crash with the schooling he put on.

    As for being proven overrated......Molina really spoiled Kirklands chances of gaining steam. I know Molina is an ultimate spoiler and difficult to look great again, but most thought JK was gonna steam roll the overmatched Molina. :think

    I don't think that's accurate, I know many including myself picked molina, still think molina would have won

    Wlad vs Ibragimov

    Such a negative & cautious performance I knew what the future would be like with him as champ :-(

    I was led to believe Angulo had a lot more about him too.Cintron's hardly the best name to take your "0"

    Proksa!

    Told my friend Proksa was brilliant and would blow through Hope after about 9 rounds.

    Untold fury.

    I know it wasn't a win,but I truly believed Spinks was the ideal fighter to give Mike Tyson a stern test.:patsch
    On a related note,I expected Mike to score a few knockdowns against Berbick.:hey

    Juanma Vs Mtagwa... Dont get me wrong I still like watching juanma fight but it proved that if he cant knock you out he gets frustrated and starts fighting extremely stupid

    Alexander. All he did was clinch Maidana. He didn't lose but he sure didn't win either.
