Who is the most overated fighter ever ?

Just make sure you come in here when the next Calzaghe thread emerges and call Kessler overrated. Kessler is more proven than Jacobs that's for damn sure. Jacobs is overrated.

Froch is can box I already outlined that for you earlier. GGG couldn't even beat Jacobs by wide UD but yet you think he beats Froch easily. Where do you get this kind of logic from.

What has Jacobs done to make him elite? If he beats Canelo I will say he's elite but as of right not he's not

PBF was never outboxed and Madiana was not outboxing him in the 1st fight he was roughing him up and fouling him and he got frustrated when he got cut early in that first fight.

Ward didn't need corruption I can admit the first fight was very close and a case can be made for both fighters but Ward got the decision. The rematch was mental warfare at it's finest and what happens when you give the superior boxer a rematch.

The difference between me and you is you cry and make excuses blaming everyone but the fighter himself as to why the guy you wanted to win didn't. It happened with GGG-Canelo 1 when GGG was supposed to make Canelo leave the ring on a stretcher and it wasn't going to the cards like you predicted. After you realized that GGG's power was overrated and it was a draw you cried robbery. GGG fans like yourself were left demoralized for the rematch because you knew he couldn't KO Canelo. Now on to Kovalev-Ward 1 same thing you picked your hero to put Ward in a coma but he didn't deliver it went to the cards and you cried robbery and were full of excuses. For the rematch you were looking sick in the face while people like me knew Ward would school him in the rematch. Me on the other hand i don't make excuses. I'm a Charlo twin fan I picked Jermell to beat Harrison I scored it for him and rooted for him but he didn't get the decision and lost. Did I cry about robbery? No I gave Harrison his due and hope they have a rematch and Charlo wins it the next time. I don't make excuses and cry robbery in every close fight like you do.

 

Golovkin was never outboxed, GGG doesnt need to have the deck stacked in his favor to beat his opponents, Ward does.

Kovalev never lost to Ward, he was a victim of corruption. Kovalev is a superior boxer and has more power.

Jacobs is elite, so is Canelo, Golovkin beat both.

You dont care about robberies because you dont care about the integrity of the sport, youre a groupie, a Beiber like fangirl.

The version of Kessler that Calzaghe beat was superior to the version that Ward beat. Its that simple, hes still overrated though, Jacobs is more talented and slick than Kessler.

Froch is one dimensional compared to Golovkin, its fairly obvious he doesnt have the technical aptitude GGG does, Froch isnt known for his pedigree.

 

My view was Mike Tyson if you watch many of his early fights he fought quite a few cruisers, beat a way over the hill Larry Holmes, James Smith, Trevor Brebick, Carl Williams just seems a bit overrated as an all time great based off the resume.

 

Pac.

 

Absolutely spot on. These are the two recent fighters that on these boards people say are close to unbeatable H2H. Which is total BS because neither man fought elite level fighters in their prime. Not a single elite name on either CV.

And then the fact that Loma lost to Orlando Salido. And Mayweather arguably lost to Jose Luis Castillo. Both of whom are hardly generational talents. Salido was must watch, but hardly the greatest fighter to walk the planet.

 

Hes overrated because people call him the best ever.

How can you call the best ever when Roberto Duran beat Sugar Ray Leonard?

 

how is multiweight multi title abe worse than vacant title then immediate loss then nothing ever again lemieux? u r writing jokes.

comparing multi titlist with one shot titlist AGAIN. one title vacant win in 3 attempts is not elite.

you not only made a terrible error, u did it TWICE in one post.

 

u've repeated the same errors a third n fourth time. Simply regurgiating someone proven wrong, doesnt make it right, you need to argue with the points in hand.

 

obv Money is a good choice since he calls HIMSELF TBE - there is no greater overating outside of being called Trump. Besides being disrespectful of the highest order, its a joke, many are above him. Hes probably best from last 20 years though, bar Pacman and tailender Roy Jones.

Hes a good example of a guy who has ruined his rep by not being humble. He'd be solid top five of last two decades without opening his mouth but that spoilt the party, no surprise he lost a top five place from last 2 decades in many eyes now.

 

he fought all comers on the way up, including lots of huge guys. His issue was he only had half a career.

 

Mayweather isn't overrated

but his resume & approach to opponents was garbage

Always fought at home & with various demands, weight cuts, waiting guys out, not fightings guys, Maidana couldn't wear horsehair gloves etc etc etc.

No dare to be great moves. RISK ADVERSE.

You think Floyd would have done what Fury did with Wilder? hell no.

 

Joe Frazier, he missed quite a few guys that he shouldn't have, struggled against a few that he shouldn't have, didn't have enough fights under his belt against the right people, and the two absolute best men on his resume, his career paled in comparison with them and out of 5 fights with these two men only won one.................and even in the win his face was transformed......

He's talked about in the realm of nostalgia but H2H there are literally so many HWs I'd pick against him...........smh

 

Terrible post. You're talking about a man with probably the single greatest win in boxing history, but he's somehow overrated?

 

Hamed. 1st time he stepped up he was made to look ridiculous. His supporters act like he is an atg featherweight. Ridiculous.

 

Duran loss to Leonard also.
