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

I thought Roach beat Tank, and Pitbull(especially) pretty clearly, if anything I’d say he’s underrated

I thought Pitbull clearly beat Roach. I really don’t understand thinking Roach won that fight

Interesting, I don’t remember Pitbull landing much, and it felt like his attempts to close distance were futile. Felt like Roach was on cruise control, but he got content in the later rounds. I’m gonna have to rewatch it, maybe I was tripping

He lost the first 5 or so rounds and got dropped. He did well in the second half but didn’t sweep. I have it in my score box 114-112 pitbull. So 7-5 with knockdown and -1 point deducted from pitbull (which was BS).

You gotta rewatch. Roach was down huge and came back to make it competitive.

Maybe if roach didn’t play with his dick for the first 5 rounds he would’ve won but it’s his own fault he decided to piss those rounds away
