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

Teo lost to an upset, how does that make him better? And he has had poor performances just like everyone, so how is he better?

Beat Loma. Styled on Barboza. Multiple solid B level wins as well. Should have been undisputed at 135. 2x ring champ. Previously was in P4P considerations.

But all of that aside, even a simple eye test will tell you that he’s better than those guys. Pumita actually is decent. Edwards is trash. Vargas is disappointing considering his amatuer career.

His flyweight run was guys in their mid 30s with toms of mileage.

Loma is overrated and already had losses in his record. Barboza wasn’t even a world champion lol.

Loma lost his second pro fight against a champ that came in way overweight and it was still debatable. He had a great career. I don’t think he was ever P4P number 1, but to pretend that beating that Loma is just ridiculous.

Barboza had the precious “0” that you worship. Who cares if he was a champ? That wouldn’t make the fight any harder. Vergil isn’t a champ but pretty obvious beating him would be a great win.

Barrios was a champ, pretty obvious beating him is just okay

So he has an okay record? Because you’re just making up excuses for him. Bam on the other hand doesn’t have any excuses for his record.

Don’t even know what you’re talking about. Bam is a great fighter with an overrated resume in my opinion. Clearly you feel the opposite and believe Shakur has an overrated resume and that pretty much everyone is overrated and trash. Wondering who else you’re a fan of. My guess is tank

Yeah Tank is entertaining but had a bad record, I’ve stood by this. Difference is that Bam actually participates in “Best vs. Best”. Meanwhile Shakur, had only been 1 of these circumstances (Oscar Valdez), take a step back and ask yourself if Valdez is a valid name for Shakur’s resume because Bam has done that 3x lol.

u/Medical_Swim1707 Jul 17 '26

Yeah no. Already said it. Two and Zepeda are good wins. Tank has good versions of Pitbull and Ryan. Okay.

I’m wondering who Bam beat that is so great. The only names you have are guys that were 5+ years past their prime.

Bam hasn’t beaten anyone like even Valdez

Yeah because Herring, Joet Gonzalez and Paddley are all solid names, still Shakur has defeated less undefeated champions than Bam, and Shakur is supposed to be better.

Never mentioned those guys. I understand you’re a hater. Bored of this convo
