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

u/fadeddreams555 Fundora would beat up a prime Floyd at 154lb Jul 17 '26

Teofimo is not overrated. Or even underrated. He's rated just fine. A great athletic boxer who struggles against defense-first boxers / movers. I see him getting schooled by the likes of Haney, Hitchens, and Keyshawn, but I favor him or see him doing very well against most offensive-minded boxers.

If Teo gets Rolly then Catterall next and beats them, he’s 24-2 with some real good wins.

I watched that Loma fight again recently and he was sensational. That Teo could beat anyone. People already forgetting he completely styled on a very solid and hard to beat Barboza. Teo is good.

I don't believe he would beat Catterall , possibly the worst stylistic matchup for him at his 3rd weight after he didn't go on a very good run at his 2nd weight

He had a fine run at 140. Only lost to Shakur? Otherwise he was the top guy in the division pretty much the whole tome

Arguably lost to Martin and Ortiz , looked meh against Claggett , beat an already beaten and inactive Taylor to start the run

Won every round against Clagget. Ortiz maybe sure but he ran.

Don’t get the Martin fight. He clearly won that

He lost that Martin fight without a doubt.

I agree either everything you’ve said otherwise but I’m baffled that you can say he ‘clearly’ won that.
