PBF

Is he not the most overated fighter on the planet right now. i mean yes he's got skills but the way some people went after he beat a washed up gatti i mean come on get a grip. he goes from division to division saying that he is the best yet he fails to get involved in the superfights that are available to him. ok maybe the castillo fights would pass for superfights as he was probably the best lightweight at the time but in the words of shania twain he dont impress me much.

Aherm... I am a PBF fan and I am sometimes frustrated that he never has the 'super' fights, but his demolition of Gatti (who I don't think was washed up at all) confirms he has skill, speed and power that can't be matched by anyone (I'm sure Hatton, Tszyu and Cotto will match his power but not speed and skill.) I still think he would beat anybody in his weight zone quite handily, including Hatton, but he likes to hand pick his opponents carefully to achieve his own personal goals.

Gatti was far from washed up, or even described as washed up, prior to his fight with Mayweather.

The fact of the matter is that a proper, skillful box-fighter with great reflexes and tremendous footwork will often make a well respected warrior look one-dimensional and out of his depth.

I think this thread has mistakenly been put up on the British Forum, please move to the general forum.

no two ways about it gatti was shot going in to the mayweather bout. the ward fights done that to him plus his many years being in wars. im not trying to say that PBF isnt talented far from it i just think he is overated and never seems to fight the biggest fights in his divisions before moving up.

i personally think i bout with him and hatton would be very close i fight we must have the one we have been waiting to see
