Who are the most overated British boxers

Probably Anthony Ogogo but he is at the start of his career so will give him time, he does have a lot of critics as well.

 

I know, I didn't want to come across negative or jealous though. Do you think it come across that way? :nut

 

Kid Galahad.

Good fighter but I've heard people rave about him, I just don't see what's so special about him.

Holds a good win over Jazza Dickens, but Jazza did make him look very ordinary at times.

 

On a serious note, I think Kell Brook.

They hype him but everything about is second rate IMO. I think once he steps up he loses and loses convincingly.

Sad to say, cos I don't mind him as a person, much more likable than Khan.

 

Well the fact you said it yeah but you are not the only guy who has chosen Burns so you are entitled to an opinion.

 

Agree on Crolla.

Price overated? was this thread made at the start of 2013 or something? No one over rates him now, if anything peoples opinion of him is currently so low that he's under-rated if anything.

Same goes for Chisora, how is he Over-rated? No one expects him to be a World Champion unless he fought someone like Leapai for the title. People rate him exactly right, a good tough fun Heavyweight to watch but not Top 5 Heavyweight material.

UK Boxers who are Over-rated are:

Kell Brook - 10 years as a Pro and still not fought a Top 10 Welterweight.

Tyson Fury - Like the guy a lot but he'll get knocked out the first time he faces a Top 5 guy.

George Groves - Controversial choice, he's a very good fighter but just not the great one people are making him out to be. Think his bubble will be popped after the Froch Rematch.

Lee Selby - Good domestic level fighter but don't see a future World Champion.

Callum Smith - Looked great so far so it's not so much that he's over-rated but people need to wait till he actually faces tougher opposition before they proclaim him the next big thing.

Anthony Joshua - I just don't see it, he'll come unstuck beyond Euro pudding level.

Scott Quigg - Good decent fighter but just isn't Top 5 Super Bantam level.

Martin Murray - Despite two outstanding performances he also got lucky against Sturm and Martinez, just don't rate him highly.

James Degale - Been very carefully managed to feed off garbage Super Middleweights, will lose as soon as he faces a Top 10 guy.

Kevin Mitchell - Horribly inconsistent and dosen't have it at highest level.

 

You might be right about Brook, will find out whenever he fights the best. He has great talent, however he used to have stamina issues.......will find about Brook in time. Hope he makes it.

 

That's true, was a competitive fight until Kid stunned him. Galahad is in an incredibly tough division, don't think he will get to the top which is no disgrace.

 

On this forum it is looked down upon to actually rate a British boxer...

 

Don't see how Derry Matthews can be seen as overrated?

He has his limitations but he's a solid domestic fighter who's record practically lists a who's who of the British LW division over the past few years.

Can box as well as bang, been involved in some top tear ups and you can never write him off even if he's miles behind as we seen with Coyle.

 

Kel Brook is so overrated, hasnt fought anyone of note, yet still gets bigged up
Del boy is big time overrated, just a night club bouncer no skills what so ever
David Price , well overrated, no heart or guts

 

Loads of people think the clown is world class and will definitely win a world title. He's always in an entertaining fight I'll give you that but he's painfully poor imo.

 

Theres also just as many or if not more people who write him off and says his a complete waste of space and no good dispite probebely being in the top 5 heavyweights in the world

 

Carl Froch

 

I'd suggest far more people write off Kell Brook than those who rate him, so no idea why you are just taking issue with my suggestion of Fury?
