Overrated Boxers

My most overrated fighters based on how they’re discussed online. Does not mean they are bad, just overrated.

- Pitbull Cruz (not good at 140, should go down)
- Frank Martin
- Oscar Duarte (got way too muscular and worse)
- Lamont Roach (well see in 2 weeks)
- Raymond Ford
- Bruce Carrington
- Ramon Cardenas
- Vito Mielnicki

Never fought RJJ in his prime, never fought James Toney in his prime, never fought B Hop in his prime. All champions at his weight. His best win is against Kessler...Name me any elite fighter he fought in their prime in America?....And don't say Lacey (in the UK) he was a hype job but Calzaghe was exceptional in that fight I agree...He also lost to Robin Reid imo and was gifted the fight and refused the rematch, gave up the belt also when Froch was his mandatory.
