    Everyone who put floyd in thier is an idiot. MOST overrated over the last 10 years? Get the **** out of here with that nonsense. You would have to put 98.5% of all current champions on the list if you put floyd. To put someone on there with as much undeniable skill is just stupid, ignorant or hateful. No other reason for it.

    How about this,

    Danny Jacobs- Some had the nerve to say was a better prospect than Ward and Dirrell years ago. I never thought he was anything more than a basic fighter. No special attributes

    Angulo- who was outboxed by Cintron who has been KOed 2 times by Margo and made to look like a bum against Martinez.

    Kevin Mitchell Get's KOed by Katsidas who lost to another overrated fighter in Juan Diaz and a past his prime Casamayor (nothing wrong with losing to Casa).

    David Diaz was a very overrated fighter before the Pac Destruction. He wasn't better than Casa or Juan Diaz.

    Devon Alexander. The way he was exposed for his defense agianst Kotelnic was disgraceful. Kotelnic didn't miss a left hand all night.


    And truth is I cant really call any of the guys I just named overrated. Maybe over hyped but I have a hard time saying that they are overrated.

    To be fair, DLH was past his prime in both fights against P4P#1s. In his prime he was undeniably a top fighter. His downfall began when he made his move to 160 and got that gift win over sturm. He had no business at 160.

    I don't take any of those guys who say GOAT seriously. I don't think there is such a thing as the greatest of all time in boxing. Every fighter who is an ATG has another ATG with the style to beat them so nobody is The GOAT IMO.

    I think those are some great fighters to be put up there and be judged over-rated.
    **** they're like the elite of their day. Even the best are gonna' lose sonner or later.
    Boxing has no mercy rough fckin sport but easy to complain from the peanut gallery.

    The 3 most overrated boxers of the last 10 years are:

    1.) Manny Pacquiao (uses EPO Steroids, cherrypicks shot weight-drained, has had 3 Fixed Fights, and ducks many challengers).

    2.) Shane Mosley (uses EPO Steroids, and has cheated his way to fake wins with Steroids)

    3.) Tito Trinidad (uses Illegal handwrappings in most of his fights)

    How rough is that? Lacy has become part of Boxing folklore after losing to Calzaghe.

    In years to come people will say, dang!, you got Lacy'ied, or, stop doing a Mayweather.

    4) Ishe Smith - Loaded gloves & heart
    5) Phillip Holiday - Lance Armstrong drug kit in 1992
    6) Manny Pacquiao - def using a cheating device in his brain. Phillipine Government installed a 9999tb micro chip to enhance his motor skills.

    I totally agree with all your points. I think his prime lasted until his first fight with Mosley and soon there after he became a part time fighter. I'm actually a huge fan of all three, but for the past ten years they have been riding off the coat tails of their former accomplishments. Pre-ten years ago they were the top dawgs.

    DLH went 0-6 against prime ATGs he faced (Tito, Mosley x2, Hopkins, Mayweather, Pac). But he wasn't overrated, they were tough challenges.

    He's is starting to be overrated now, as nostalgia seems to be skewing his AT ranking by many fans
