    Based on how highly regarded they are, Duran & Tszyu.

    Tszyu's resume does not do a lot for me, as for Duran, the man is rated a number 4 ATG by some, that says it all for me.

    :rofl

    Arguably the best resume of all time
    Easily the best HW fighter technically
    Comes back from defeat to win the HW titles
    If Ali is overrated, everyone is

    but as of recently gotta go with adamek, this guy is the most plain looking boxer out yet people dribble on his balls like theres no tomorrow. STILL dont see whats so special about him. timothy bradley has been getting overrated too. he's a good fighter but like adamek i dont see why everybody is on this guys jockstrap.

    Good call. Hatton is massively overrated. Lloyd Honeyghan gave some good reasons why:

    no lateral movement
    leads with his chin
    trained by a taxi driver
    all his training team does is get him fit, rather than work on boxing technique
    unfocused, too distracted by his own hype

    P.S. "Overrated" does not mean "highly rated". It means highly rated whilst actually being mediocre. Fighters like Duran, Ali, Toney etc were not mediocre.
