The Most Overrated Of These Fighters

This poll is ****. How are any of these fighters overrated?

And don't give me that "Hopkins' big wins came against smaller guys" bull****. Who did Hagler's big wins come against? Is Hagler overrated? please.

 

now your playing with my emotions.

Well you need to better define what over rated means. For instance, Marciano, logically, is not over rated. I say this because you won't find many top 10 list that don't have him on it, but you will also never see him ranked aboved Ali. Therefore most would agree he is a top 10 heavyweight but not the greatest that ever fought.

The best example up there is Roy Jones, as some see him as top 10 p4p ATG, or Max Kellerman who actually asserted RJJ was possibly the greatest that ever fought.

 

Oh, you don't want me to go there do you?

 

why not? if meeting pac in person will make your life complete, do so by all means.:good

i'm genuinely happy for you.:thumbsup

 

you're a bad man. this is going to have some serious debate. but the answer is marciano.

 

This

IF I have to go by the thread then Jones Jr.

 

i'd like to hear you justify why you think that

 

I dont think any of these fighters are overrated. Jones is underrated by many and also overrated by a few. Hopkins might be a little underrated. When you consider Marciano would only be a cruiser he is far from overrated unless your talking about him betting Big great heavys. I dont think Mayweather is overrated at all but his careeer isnt over yet so its hard to say.

 

why is rocky marciano in there?

 

people like to revere fighters of the past. personally, i think marciano is the weak link here.

 

Hopkins. Comfortably.

 

i expected a lot of people to say hopkins because his style often wasn't pretty...but that man owned the ring and he knew what he was doing in it.
it's a credit to him that he can be competitive far longer than jones. the reason though is because jones was an offensive machine and when the desire left and age set in he had no defence. hopkins does.

 

i havent seen any of marcianos fights but he defended his title a couple of times undefeated.
