    A fighter loses one fight and all of a sudden hes either washed up or over-rated. But then a fighter wins one fight and is put up against all time greats.

    Margarito for example, a good fighter ill give him that. Before his fight with williams hes the most avoided fighter and no one wants to fight him. Then he loses to williams and everyone says how he was over-rated the whole time. Comes back and beats cotto and some of the same posters that said he was overrated are posting threads comparing him to the likes of ray robinson ray leonard and other all time greats.

    no youve got it all wrong. mayweather is a joke! hatton is a loser! haye is a bum! and as for cotto.....

    ignore the idiots. styles make fights. any fighter that gets to the level that people on here are arguing about him is a very special fighter indeed. years ago fighters werent suposed to win every fight.......

    not to get too deep into it, but i think the polarization of everything is a growing cancer in western society (sport issues, politics, ethical issues, environmental issues etc).
    balanced, educated reasoning is out of fashion - you're either with us or you're against us.

    Woah. Don't generalize it as the whole of ESB. Keep it between the ***gits here in the General Forum.

    thats boxing nowadays. people give too much credit to an undefeated fighter and cause of that some guys dont fight any good comp cause theyre afraid of losing the 0 .

    I think Cotto's first loss is a lot like Fernando's and they're careers may end the same.

    Time will show and that's the best part of ESB.

    When a place is too active there tends to be more ******s than true boxing fans that understand the sport, this is very normal and a perfect time killer.

    basically is like this every top fighter has haters and when those fighters lose the haters come out and say they were exposed and were overrated.

    This is called a bandwagon and there are a lot of them around here. This will never change

    I have been saying this about wlad klitchko, when someone beats him there great, they did it with sanders an brewster, an before he fought peters, people were saying peters was going to be the next guy in the division, an going into the peters fight, it was pretty much seen as wlad last fight an the begining of the peters erea, but once peters was out boxed an battered, this next thing was over-rated, an now that peter hit the canvas in the mcline fight people say he has no chin, but if you watched the wlad fight, you can safly assume he got a chin,,,,,,,,,,,,so a guy like wlad gets this rip either way, boxer are great till they fight him, then are overrated once they lose to him
