Following on from my thread of "The Greatest Fraud in sporting history" I now ask you for totally over-rated sportsmen / women...
 


Calzaghe was an incredibly talented athlete, better than Hatton imo, but the force of will Hatton showed to beat tzsyu shouldnt be forgotten.

In terms of the status he holds, Beckham is a good shout, Henman got too much praise for delivering so little

Henman was probably the second best grass court tennis player in the world for a period of three years bur because he was never the best, he's a national figure of fun.

I've alwasy felt rather sorry for the bloke if I'm honest. Being 2nd best in the world at anything is vastly more impressive then anything anyone I've ever met has ever done.
 
Change my mind on Joe Calzaghe, actually. Just remembered him as someone who fought 'bums' and was overhyped. Forgot about the top names like Roy Jones Jr and Hopkins he fought towards the end of his career, to be fair.

I'll change my mind to Amir Khan. Chin like a 14 year old girl. Always gets hyped by the English media as one of the top boxers in the world. He's not even top 10 in his weight class.

He beat a better version of Kessler than the one who beat Froch aswell, also the night he destroyed Lacy was awesome, all the yanks telling us Lacy would kill him. When Khan signed for sky he got hyped up a lot, I'd still have him in the top ten light welters but if he steps up to welter Brook beats him for me, so yeah can see your point on Khan, the way his family behaved to GB coach Rob Mckracken was a joke aswell.
