Time to pick your overrated welterweights. The only fighter I didn't put on was Georges St. Pierre, but again, feel free to add him as your other.

+1 thumbs upMatt Hughs is past his prime.  I don't think he's over-rated.

+1 thumbs up

Man, I always have such a hard time with these and I've figured out why...10 slots is too many.

I don't really feel like there are TEN fighters in every weight class who are notably overhyped.

I think Karo is overrated, but, again, I feel like everyone else has hype and ratings pretty much proportionate to their abilities and accomplishments.

I could see the top 3, maybe even 5 most overrated fighters in every weight class, but TEN?! Per class?!

I feel like it just gets down to nitpicking and putting people who aren't really even overrated on the list.

 

I see Jake Sheilds on BOTH of the lists above me.

Jake Sheilds is DEFINITELY the most UNDERrated ww out there. Definitely.

Look at my list, and tell me that some of those guys aren't at least a LITTLE overrated.

I don't mean to bash your poll...heh...

Yeah, most of the guys on the list may have a little bit of excess hype.

It's a tough one though, that's all. For instance, you have Matt Hughes as #1.

Which, honestly, I'm inclined to agree that he's a bit overrated these days.

But at the same time, lately I'm hearing a lot of people call Matt Hughes out as being "past his prime".

It's not a bad question though. I just have a hard time ranking their degrees of...uh...overration?
