    Oscar Delahoya is overrated and why he is getting the chance to fight a small guy and knock him out is not fair to other great boxers. This is a page right out of Ray Leonard's book.

    Overrated I would go with Chad Dawson - I only say this because people seem to think he can go onto be the best pound 4 pound...I just dont see it. although he obviously has some class.

    Underrated is a more interesting list imo, I would say Kermit Cintron is very underrated, he has ability and is one of the hardest punchers p4p in boxing right now, because the 47 division is so stacked I feel he'll still struggle to get to the very top, but hell be a world champ again before he leaves the game.

    Timothy Bradly - I was at the show when he beat Witter and he looked very good againsy Cherry, yet people dont seemt o be talking about him in the same way they are Berto, seems strange to me.

    Very true. Linares is very overrated, though I'd like for him to prove me wrong.

    Cabellero still underrated, people are still picking JuanMa to destroy him :patsch

    no doubt even after his last fight most people think Caballero is an easy fight for Vazquez,Marquez or JML but win or lose this guy isnt an easy fight for anyone.

    I agree that Caballero is underrated, most people on this forum were saying before the Molitor fight, that he will be outboxed in that fight.

    To the people saying Berto is underrated, the kid is being hyped up without doing anything! That is the definition of overrated.

    Hasegawa on the other hand is a legitimate WBC champion who has fought stern tests since he won the title and won all the fights emphatically. At the moment he isn't in a loaded division but with Darchinyan, Montiel, Mijares and Arce pondering the move up to BW, he could show the wider audience how good he is.
