    You're just speculating.


    Blame Pacquiao for being afraid of needles.

    Yawn. Draining didn't effect him in the slightest. Wasn't any slower or weaker than what he usually is.

    Examples?

    Who cares? USADA was informed and so was Pacquiao's team. Obviously wasn't a problem for USADA and Pacquiao.

    ?
    They didn't deserve rematches. No one did besides the two rematches he actually gave.


    I would care for this if Mayweather beat up Marquez because of the weight advantage but he didn't. He just outboxed him. Didn't bully him, just fought him like how he fights everyone else.

    Such a tired narrative. Besides Pacquiao, who gets the blame for that, Mayweather fought everyone at exactly the right time for both fighters.

    Nah, I'm good on Castillo getting a decision he didn't deserve to get.

    most overrated - Fury.
    For obvious reasons. Win against Wlad had fewer punches in the whole fight than most have in a round. Was a dreadful fight to watch. Refused the rematch.
    Victories against Whyte and Chisora...and Wilder. GOAT status he ain't.

    most underrated - Spence.
    Not underrated but under-appreciated. Battered a prime Brook in his own town. Sent Mikey Garcia into hiding. Floored and beat Porter, beat Danny Garcia and Ugas comfortably. Doesn't get the props he deserves probably cos of inactivity. If he beats Crawford he is p4p no.1

    Joe Joyce underrated ? Is that a joke ? After he beat Parker there were threads on here where people thought he was the next coming of George Foreman, and that he would beat a prime Mike Tyson.

    Overrated -

    Loma. Some people were literally calling him one of the GOATS after like 10 fights with 1 loss already.

    Fury - Could have been a GOAT but unfortunately didn't have the mindset. If your best win is 40 year old Wlad and Wilder you may only be top 30. He may have only looked as good as he did because no one tested him properly. If Wilder almost KO'd Fury, then the likes of Lewis and Mike would have beat him.

    This one is easy. Fury and it’s not even close.

    Overrated: Joyce, Fury, Claressa Shields
    Underrated: David Benavidez, Bivol

    Elaborating on Shields - compared to her peers she is the best and her achievements show that. However, that's not saying much, considering the talent pool she's faced is so laughably shallow and underwhelming that she's been competing in divisions with less than 20 active, registered professional boxers. Not her fault that women's boxing is ****, but it is what it is. Also pillow fisted doesn't even begin to cover her 13-0-0 record with 2 KOs

    Overrated I’d say Andre Ward never did it for me

    Loma is a really good fighter but spending too much time in the amateurs and being horribly guided in his pro career has made questions.


    Usyk hasn’t won me over yet, and while I agree he’s a really good fighter he hasn’t done the things at heavy yet for me to not have him on this list. If he beats Fury, Wilder, and one or two more top guys he can then lay claim to best heavy of his era.
