So if everyone else thought he sucks, then you'd think he's good?
But because people speak so highly of him, he sucks?
This "overrated" nonsense is, well, nonsense.
That aside, let's tackle your other question.
Is he crap? Not at all.
There's no doubt he slaps with a lot of his punches in combination, but who ever said you need to knock a guy out with everything you throw?
He's scoring points when he flurries and scores telling blows when he has his opportunities.
He's not going out there and wasting everything he has in combinations while his opponents are completely guarded.
But he's always scoring points.
Did the ref jump in too quick in the Manfredo fight? I'd say yes.
You can blame the hometown favortism or bad refereeing, but how does that make Joe crap?
You can blame Warren for not risking him in bigger fights, but how does that make Joe crap?
He scores and scores and scores points. Not everyone needs to be a Tyson.
You can blame decision makers around him, you can hate on boisterous fans around him, but as a fighter he is not crap.
