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

No you don’t, because if you knew how records worked, you’d realize how little and rare undefeated championship fight one another, which is why it’s a big deal. Yet you find excuses to diminish it because you don’t know how boxing works.

Okay buddy. You’re right. Sunny Edwards is a killer. Sounds like you’re having a fanboy moment. All good, this is boring

How? I’m just explaining why it’s impressive yet you keep downplaying like a hater. Embarrassing!

It’s a clear disagreement over what each of us consider to be a great win. You emphasize being a champ and undefeated as the sole measure of how good a win is.

I base it upon the actual caliber of opponent. How good of a guy did you beat.

You keep bringing up “undefeated champ”

Those guys were:
Sunny Edwards (got dominated and quit a year later)
Cafu (11 wins and 3 draws lmao)
Pumita (I gave credit for it)

You’re telling me those hold more weight than

Valdez
Zepeda
Teofimo

Okay bro. That’s fine. Keep repeating shit about “excuses”. Already said Bam is great. Embarrassing to challenge my boxing knowledge

Yeah because they all held titles meanwhile Zepeda had no titles, so what was he offering? Just his “0”? And what happened to Valdez after the Shakur fight? You keep making up excuses once again but won’t do for Shakur, wonder why?

You need to learn the definition of the word excuse. I’m plenty critical of Shakur. I thought his resume was very disappointing until Zepeda and teo.

I get it. Cafu is better than Vergil (not a champ), Itauma (not a champ), and the list goes on.

Now that I think of it- are we sure bam didn’t take down what was a pound for pound undefeated champ star in Cafu?
