    B) Antonio Tarver. Even though people don't think the world of him anymore, he is actually worse still.

    Very good. I agree with this - not sure about Valero, since I have never seen him fight.

    After the Chambers fight he actually became slightly underrated. The majority of people think he would lose to Chagaev and Ibragimov, fighters he should be favored against.

    Valero is insanely overrated, there are C+ level 130 pounders out there that could beat him. All one needs to beat him is a solid chin and mediocre boxing skills. He's a knockout artist who hasn't even scored one KO against any B levels yet, but has showed numerous flaws including a shaky chin.

    Tarver is going to get stopped by Woods, I rewatched his last 2 fights on showtime recently and he's shot. After that, Woods will most likely become a 7 on the scale. :D

    Glenn Kelly is the boxer RJJ beat with hands behind his back. He was an undefeated Australian boxer coming into that fight.

    Kelly was ruined by Jones. Paul Briggs KO'd Kelly in 4rds about a year or 2 later. I think that was one of his last fights.

    Of the list supplied I beleive that Woods is the most overrated, although Tarver is nearing the end of his career I see a tko inside 8 rounds. A strong case could be made for Valero being overrated but I see a few people have said he has been hurt a few times, this is clearly not the case. He has been hit plenty of times but hurt? NO!
    I love watching Valero fight, all action, no ***** footing around, straight in bish bash bosh, goodnight vienna!

    :hey

    Most KO artists have weak chins - but I believe everything you say here - the Woods thing included.

    Forgot to say that your pts were very well set, which was the most part of were I agreed. Can't agree on Margo though, but the rest are spot on - to an almost eerie extent.

    I think a case could be made for most of those, but I don't know that many people who actually rate Tarver or Paulie.

    I think people are thinking of Cotto and Pavlik as being the second coming, they are top class fighters, but still overrated IMO.
