    I think Cintron is underrated
    Arreola is underrated and hated on because he's fat
    Margarito is overrated
    Clottey is overrated
    Joe Calzaghe is DEFINITELY overrated
    Hatton is overrated...although recently my opinions are changing but i still feel he's overrated
    Kirkland is underrated
    Berto is underrated
    Klitchko's are overrated...being dominate in a **** division
    Taylor is underrated...the guy loses to Pavlik twice and he's forgotten :huh

    There's more but i just cant think right now...

    Good picks.

    I would put Dawson alongside Williams as the most overrated and Taylor alongside Kessler as underrated.

    Taylor has ALWAYS been fkking underrated.

    The guy beat Hopkins twice, Lacy, Corey Spinks, and held Winky to a draw.

    How many other fighters in the world are even willing (much less capable) to do that??

    Only has been beaten by one fighter, and there's a lot more embarrassing ways to lose than how Taylor did (like the way Pavlik did to Hopkins, for example).

    The criticism of him is bullsh*t. People only ever look at how he "looks" in his fights and not who he's fighting or what he actually gets done.

    I agree with you 100%. I love the professionalism that Taylor shows as well. That being said; I wouldn't use Lacy in my argument :lol:.

    I'd say Bute is a bit underrated since the debacle in the last round against Andrade.

    Yep! Bute due to his lack of experience made a big mistake in the last round against Andrade. He is underrated because he fights only in Montreal, he will get his credit after fighting in US and beating Andrade in a rematch.
