Fighters that you (controversially) think are overrated

The day Briggs beats a Holyfield part 1 type Bowe is the day I eat both my boots. Shoot this thread screams Briggs .....minus the controversially part

Shannon Briggs a more dangerous puncher than Holyfield? The simple FACT is Briggs would be the most dangerous puncher Bowe had ever fought.

So...

How about Sugar Ray Leonard? I am not saying his is not great! But Colin Hart from the Sun for example has him as p4p number of all time and he generally tends to appear around the top 3-5 of those polls.

He did beat the other 3 of the fab four, but (and I know it's an mute point and only an 'IF') but if fights were 12 rounds in 1983, he would've lost quite handily to Hearns. He deffo lost the rematch imo. He was 1-1 with Duran (not a criticsim) and his win over Hagler was questionable.

Outside of the 'Fab Four' fights, he was too inactive for me and lept retiring like a bitch. Performances such as the one against Donny Lalonde were not good.

I know I am gonna get a hammering for claiming a man who beat Benitez, Hearns, Hagler & Duran as overrated but his career and his gordy little face bother me.

Oh man now that's just straight jacket and rubber room talk. Your putting way to much emphasis on 'a punchers chance' and not looking at a studied and fluid combination puncher who could actually level the power, roll it. Position, set it up and be consistent with it. Huge difference. Briggs is more the standing in the Pub loading up on the slug-o-matic punching bag to impress the gals . Power in itself is awesome but Briggs was a one trick pony with a bad haircut. THAT Bowe would have peeled him off his boot. Ah, just saw the question mark
