    I strongly, strongly disagree. Gamboa is the future of boxing, IMO. Incredible skills, speed. I see a little zab in him in that he is both monstrous offensively and can get a little lazy at times (which could be suicide at some point), but i don't see him going the judah way. Kid can flat out fight, is lightning, and will make JML look like an amateur.

    donaire has a lot still to prove for being ranked so high p4p(4th according to the ring rankings). Nonito Donaire completely outclassed vic darchinyan, proceeding which has accomplished nothing besides outclassing good but non stellar opppsition, collecting paychecks, and padding his record.

    although it seems donaire is moving up in weight, fighting someone like Fernando Montiel, Abner Mares,Hozumi Hasegawa all would be a real test to his true place in rankings. I think he is very skilled, but is slightly overrated. I do believe he has great talent and really look forward to see donaire tested.

    I also know that Nonito Donaire wanted to rematch darchinyan but could not come to a agreement, that would be a great fight to see agian.

    Haye is the worst. I'd also add Tyson Fury and Paul Williams to the list.

    It all depends on your perspective as well as your idea of what it means to be overrated. IMO, this list is laughable. Many of the guys on it are actually underrated IMO. Williams and Lopez are the most flawed fighters on that list, but they've proven they can beat top comp. despite their shortcomings. Bute just might turn out to be overrated. I only say that because he seems to be fighting the same type of guys everytime out. However, he's dominating them.

    How the hell does Dirrell make this list? If I'm not mistaken, he was a decided undergdog against Froch and arguably beat him. Many predicted he would lose to Abraham and he won that fight. Now almost nobody is picking him to beat Ward. So how are you overrated when everyone keeps picking you to lose and you manage to exceed expectations? I could give a good argument as to why many of the rest of the guys on that list are pretty underrated as well.

    chad dawson and its not even close. number 4 p4p, give me a ****in break, he's had 1 good win over adamek, beat over-rated shite like tarver and went life and death with 13 defeat glen johnson :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    he is about to have his suspected fragile glass jaw shattered by a b-level fighter who got his ass handed too him by the severely limited carl froch :rofl

    he will then be thrown on the ever growing, american hype-job scrap-heap alongside the likes of lacy, pavlik, judah, taylor, and mosley :deal

    I'd definitely go with Andre Ward. I see dirty fighting, home ring advantages, and some soft opposition yet boxing writers and most fans are anointing him as the winner of the Super Six as well as a future hall of famer. Im anxious to see Ward face off against an aggressive boxer-puncher with some good power.
