Who is the most overrated boxer of all time?
Great records, thin resumes, and arguments that never get settled in a bar.
1Floyd MayweatherThe 50-0 record is real; the argument is about how many of the fifty were taken at the right time.
2Manny PacquiaoEight divisions and eight losses, including one knockout that ended a fight he was winning.
3Mike TysonTerrifying for four years, then 6-3 in his last nine professional fights.
4Deontay WilderA five-year title reign built on one punch and a thin list of opponents.
5Naseem HamedUnbeaten showman whose career effectively ended the first time he met Marco Antonio Barrera.
6Adrien BronerMarketed as the next Mayweather and beaten every time he stepped up.
7Amir KhanOlympic medallist with fast hands and a chin that kept ending his biggest nights.
8Anthony JoshuaOlympic champion and stadium headliner who lost three of his next eight after 2019.
9Roy Jones Jr.Untouchable for a decade, then knocked out in three of five fights after 2004.
10Oscar De La HoyaThe sport's biggest draw of the 1990s, who lost most of his defining fights.
11Canelo AlvarezFour-division champion whose record includes a draw and a decision that split the sport.
12Vasiliy LomachenkoCalled the best technician alive, and beaten in three of his marquee fights.
13Chris EubankUndefeated for six years on decisions that the crowd frequently disagreed with.
14Andrew GolotaTwice beat Riddick Bowe on the cards and twice lost by disqualification.
