    All of the past HW champs are ridiculously overrated by their fans.

    The Klitschkos would dominate any era.

    Slappy Joe far and away. The guy gets more run now than when he was fighting. People say this is the work of an ATG:

    Lennox Lewis was not overrated, Amir Khan and Carl Froch are very underrated. Calzaghe and Hatton yes!

    No Prea, I would like to know even what the K2 fans think . . . and I mean the hardcore. I was hoping that they would be on this thread but it looks like it did not say Klitschko so they did not open it:lol:

    To be fair, *****s does the same thing. But then again, Floyd is a lot better than Calzaghe.

    I think I qualify as hardcore these days. I recently claimed Sam Peter had a better jab than Sonny Liston. But not even my laptop could stomach it, because it crashed. And suddenly the thread was flooded with knowledgeable posters of a kind you rarely see on the general, and the verbal slaughter was on :kayo

    Some dude made a thread earlier saying in a year he'd be p4p number 3 :rofl:rofl:rofl. Not only would donaire tap that ass but he hasn't beaten anyone if any note anyway. Amateur boxing is a lot ****ing different to the pros!

    Thankyou!

    People proclaiming him the second coming of Jesus when all he's done is beat Domestic Journeyman Willie Casey, struggle with Cordorba and then KO a 'World Champion' who was too scared to punch :-( (Not of Rigo either, Ramos was scared for 8 rounds in his previous fight:rofl)

    That video should be titled "Scoreboard." Slappy Joe gets thread after thread here when he was barely a blip on the boxing radar for 99% of his career.

    That's actually really funny stuff:lol::lol::lol:. You know Sonny had one of the best jabs ever, not just amongst the heavy's right. I think you were a wee bit overzealous in your praise perhaps:D
