    Default Who was more over rated?

    AA going into Froch fight or lacy going into the calazaghi fight?

    both had good records and had looked fantastic at times without actually fighting anyone near to that level

    Lacys best win was a very old reid and AA's a jaded taylor

    Definately Lacy . Sure Taylor was faded against Abraham, but he did dominate Froch for 11 rounds so he wasnt shot when he fought Arthur

    I dont know, both were over rated.

    I think Joe would have done the same to both but maybe easier to Abraham as he isnt as strong.

    I said months ago that Abraham wouldnt deal with the natural strength of the genuine super middles. That was his only asset at middle, his strength advantage. He has no boxing skill o talk of, other than a tight defence.

    Lacy was an undefeated career super middle with a title on the way up. Abraham was a blown up middle without a title who got dropped in his last fight and lost.

    Froch is still yet to beat a world champion!

    Must be Lacy. Middleweight Mike Tyson? haha. While Abraham may have been over-rated coming into the Froch fight, he's hardly a bum, he just got soundly beat by a better fighter with a better game-plan.

    i've always thought AA was over rated. He is just always looking for the big shot, and doesn't have much boxing or counter punching ability. I think in the next round against Ward, we will see more of the same from AA.

    Yup Lacy.

    Lacy was good and dangerous, he just hadn't fought someone that would fire back. Lacy was not the same after the calzaghe drilling.
