cory spinks is overrated

since he's fighting tonight he's on the mind. i didn't think he beat judah the first time[ i scored it even and as the 12th round came to its end if you remember he had just been floored and was out on his feet] and i thought ricardo mayorga got the shaft from the ref in there fight for the undisputed welterweight tittle[ mayorga lost 2 points that would have mad the fight a draw].so to be honest never thought he won a big fight and he did nothing but run in his last fight with taylor. the judge that thought he won that fight was high. so in closing i think he's not just the most overrated fighter right now but maybee of alltime. he lives off his last name(father leon and uncle mike both legit heavyweight champs) because he cant fight.

mike tyson, good sure but not the god he is made out to be

[SugarShanep4p]

tyson = most overrated of all times. He never beat anyone decent before he went to jail, the two most notable names were an old out of shape michael spinks and and old out of shape larry holmes. When he finally met anyone decent (ie holyfield and lewis) he got steam rolled. Hes no doubt one of the best heavyweight to ever live, but hes extreamly overrated.

I'm begining to think the use of the word overrated needs to be cut down for a while, whether some of choices were right on the money or just wrong, it only results in some fans trying to act like smartasses and try to make other fans look ****** for not agreeing with them.

I'd have to say Oscar de la Hoya, and I'll tell you why. The amount of attention he has received from the mainstream, you would believe he was Ray Robinson or Ray Leonard. Clearly he is not. For all of his great talents, he is more celebrity than fighter.

oscar de la hoya, then if we are considering Mayweather as a top 5 all time, then he is too. Dlh firstly, has never beaten a great great fighter who was at their peak in a convincing manner.

Mayweather is to me the best of today, but to consider him a All-time great, is ******. His best victories are vs Correles (notice i left if at one)....How can you consider shot dlh a great stand out victory especially in the manner he fought..like lionel richie or something. Then judah who has been beaten by every fighter he ever faced that was tough. Baldomir,,,hmmm, Hatton was a very good jr welter, but what did he ever do at Welter, which is the division their fight was in. That leaves us with Castillo, which many feel he lost the first fight, and the 2nd fight was close as well.
