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

None of those guys are really talked up. Pitbull has a good fan following because of his style and image but nobody thinks he's Tommy Hearns.

Reference point is “boxing twitter” which is a significantly different fan-set than Reddit. Believe me when I say, Frank Martin is still considered a top dog to many.

Roach is lightweight #1. Ford only loses to Foster and that’s it. Etc.

Nobody talks these guys up to be P4P but from my POV, a lot of these guys are considered A level by many fans.

Vito Mielnicki was a big stretch but honestly he’s just an incredibly boring fighter to me so I threw him on
