1. Roberto Duran 2. Jack Dempsey 3. Sam Langford 4. Barney Ross 5. Ezzard Charles who in your opinion, are the top 5 most overrated boxers of all time?
Reasons? Charles and Ross are very often underrated. Duran gets overrated by a section of his fans but he is quite simply in the top echelon of fighters alltime, which ever way you want to look at it. He should be rated high and talked about as one of the best ever. Langford??? I mean ****. The guy is a consensus top 5 alltime. His record is crazy. Its really almost impossible to overrate him because he actually has an argument for GOAT. How more can you rate him then that?
1. Aaron Pryor 2. Alexis Arguello 3. Joe Louis 4. Bernard Hopkins 5. Archie Moore the question of 'overrated' depends on the rating place , so i regarded this forum.
the most overrated fighters are going to be those who are active because there is a vested interest (i.e. money) in promoting them.
Dempsey arguably but IMO no one really rates him as a top 5 heavyweight anyway. Duran and Charles are ridiculous inclusions in an "overrated" list.
here on esb, the early triple crowners Fitzsimmons, Ross and Armstrong get alot of praise here Ray leonard the most overrated I've ever seen but I know esbers like to jump on the bandwagon with so called experts or popular opinion to make themselves look knowledgable Louis at least had some guns and a string of defenses
This new poster must be an alias. Awful post, as are those choosing Louis, although I do agree that Dempsey is overrated by some. Frankenfrank is the man who has O Neil Bell in his top 10 P4P to put his choices into perspective
Not sure on that one, i think louis gets his dues pretty correctly in this forum but if we look at a lot of "general" publications on who the greatest fighter is of all time p4p i've seen him as high as 3 or 4 which is clearly overrating him in my opinion
