    As for a list, I'm not gonna number it but I'll throw some names out:

    Allan Green
    Tommy Morrison
    Chris Arreola
    Zab Judah

    Just off the top of my head...

    i'll go top three most disappointing but not overrated. he earned his hype the right way...he's just been an enormous disappointment since the taylor fights.

    although you did say kelly and paul were boring fighters in the other thread so i don't expect you to see the light :deal

    Good post, i agree. I like Zab and he''s fast, but i can't help to think how overrated he was and i don't see how people ever thought Arrelo was good

    Taylor beat Hopkins twice,it was just all about him,after that he went down hill..and the hype ended,
    Chavez Jr is already a good candidate for the last 5 yrs,but he still have a chance to prove me wrong.
    Edwin Valero,died without proving me wrong.

    Because of him being so ****in over hyped when he has no ring smarts and all athleticism they built him up so much that he wrongfully got the decision vs Hopkins in the first fight. Bernard defended the title a record 20 times or so. U should have to drag him out of the ring dead to take that ttle from a man that worked up from nothing for that belt and defended more time than any middleweight figter in history.
    Hopkins had him hurt out on his feet in rd 11 and Duane Ford gave jermaine the last round which essentially took the title from Bernard and gave it to Taylor. A draw even Hopkins keeps the title. In the last round Taylor landed 2 punches total.

    For that to happen for a guy that clearly did not have the stuff to be hyped like that he ruined a part of boxing history.
