It's gotta be Hatton. He was on most people's top 5 p4p going into Saturday's fight against someone who was not on anyone's top 20 p4p -- and he was very unimpressive in almost losing. The only other guy on this list that is ranked that high--Mayweather--has only had one really close fight, and it was against another top 10 p4p guy. Hatton wins the overhype contest by virtue of his ranking vs. close match-up against low-ranked fighter ratio.
Taylor is not on the Ring or Saddo's Top 10 p4p list, he's the underdog going into his next fight, and most people think he lost at least the first B-Hop fight, so I don't see how he could be overrated.
I could see the argument for Calzaghe, but despite not facing very good competition, he doesn't really have any negatives against him--no one's made him look bad like Collazo did to Hatton. And most people don't rank him as high p4p as they ranked Ricky.
I don't see anyone giving Floyd real trouble unless he presses the issue and goes up to 154--which still wouldn't show that he was "overrated."
