He's not even overated by anyone though. I mean apart from HattontheHomo who else in the entire boxing world overates Carl Froch?
And overhyped? Apart from the hardcore boxing fans on this forum nobody in the UK or US has even heard of him.
It's ridiculous, yes he talks himself up a lot but self promotion doesn't equal other people believing he's special.
He has limitations, just as many boxers do.
The thing is, when a fighter has good fundamentals, or a great defense, or superb athleticism, all of his negative attributes tend to get completely overlooked, whereas if a fighter has a weak chin, or is slow, or throws wide looping shots for example they get ripped apart by 'experts' like Taeth who show us why they are so poor and then ask us to explain how we know so little as to have concluded they were good. These kind of threads annoy me. They just highlight an obvious point that everybody is aware of and then talk as if it's only the sage boxing wisdom of the thread starter that has deduced this and that we, the illiterare need to be informed.
