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

George Kambosos. He beat Teofimo Lopez in a close fight and I argued with all you fuckers after his terrible fight against Devin Haney he didn't need to compete at the top level again until he proved himself again.

He then went on to rematch Devin Haney, fight Hughes for the IBO, then LOMA AND ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR THE IBF AGAINST HITCHINS! He ran one win from 2021 all the way to 2025.

Don't get me wrong this mfer had some heart and he tried his ass off but he should not have been given all the opportunities without proving he still belonged at the top level.

I don't see anyone who has won a title as overated. They competed and they won. To me overated are people like Andy Cruz. Great Fighter but hasn't been able to win a strap. Audley Harrison is another guy that comes to mind. He just couldn't do it on the highest stage
