Calzaghe IS vastly overrated on here, and Hatton WAS vastly overrated on here, but thats to be expected with all the Brits on here. They love their fighters, and can't help but be bias. It pisses me off just the same though.
Wlad is overrated too, quite a bit. How quickly they forget about his KO losses and make excuses, now that he is back in favor with the brass at HBO and the hype machine is up and running in full force again. But its all good.
Underrated:
Roy Jones, Brits hate him and some Americans, so they were happy when he got KO'd by a lucky shot against Tarver, then lost it mentally and stopped throwin punches. They can't face facts that no one has defied boxiing technique, abandoning the jab, fighting with hands down etc. and accomplished so much. They can't face facts that he IS the greatest boxer ever, or top 5 for sure.
James Toney. Like others have said, this is a former freakin MW, who has ducked NO ONE in his entire career, and is now fightin at HW and beatin top guys handily, admittedly I thought he shoulda lost a close decision to Rahman cus he was just too damn lazy and outta shape, but theres no way in hell he didn't win that Peter fight. Toney is a legend people, forget bout his smack talk, its all jive, nonsense and in fun anyhow. The man is a legend.
