Who is highly rating Rahman?

Well, he WAS highly rated before. Especially when he beat Lewis.

I always thought it was a fluke and it was proven to be so months later when Lewis was actually paying attention that time around.....I have never heard anyone personally who was on their soapbox going on about how great Rahman was.

I agree with Pryor. Also, with Dempsey.

He was a great fighter but I've seen him in some top 10 all-time great lists. That, to me, is ridiculous.

Saddler beat Pep three out of four times. Does that make Pep overrated as well? A lot of fighters ducked Pryor during his era

He is rated top 10 p4p by many. I just don't see it.

People look far too much into the Pep fights. He may have gotten the best of Pep (after Pep nearly died in a plane crash), by questionable methods in my opinion (except in the first fight), but he wasn't better than Pep.

I don't agree about a lot of fighters ducking Pryor. Jim Watt may have but that was about it. He himself screwed up potential fights with Leonard, Duran and he did eventually get a huge fight against Arguello, a fight after which he went onto ruin his career with drugs.

How does Pryor rate over Thomas Hearns for example? He has two notable wins, an ancient Antonio Cervantes and Arguello in his 4th weight class.
