    lewis vs tyson ridiculous how much attention and credit lewis got for that victory. I still think lewis was a great fighter and I loved watching him but tyson was a shell of himself and I knew it would be an easy fight for lewis yet so many considered it an even match up

      Overrated fight....hmmm makes you think.I am going to go with "The Thrilla in Manilla" because I thought Ali/Frazier I was a better scrap and I also liked the end result better.

        Lots of Tyson fans were in denial. We knew that Tyson had a very slim chance of winning, but we tried to delude ourselves that the very slim chance was reasonable and even good.

        Sort of like De La Hoya fans when he fought Hopkins, or Gatti's fanatics when he fought Mayweather.

            Gatti-Ward II and III.

            Ward got schooled twice by a broken-handed Gatti.

                I think the Toney/Jirov scrap in 2003 is underrated. It had an awesome finish that is never talked about. Manny Steward going crazy makes it even better.

                I think Corrales/Castillo 1 is a great fight but overrated. People quickly call it the best fight of all time. I thought Gatt/Ward was better.

                  THEN YOU LIKE 2 CLUB FIGHTERS KICKING THE CRAP OUT OF EACH OTHER MORE THAN A SUBLIME SLUGGING CONTEST BETWEEN TWO WORLD CLASS FIGHTERS AND MAYBE HOF'ers??????????????????

                  the Castillo Corrales fight may not be that ebntertaining but the heart AND SKILL the two fighters put in that fight was amazing, definatly my favourite fight

                    Ward and Gatti aren't that bad technically. They're not Corrales-Castillo or Barrera-Morales, but Gatti was a top 10 jr. welterweight at the time. Above the club fighter status.

                    And Corrales-Castillo I was incredibly entertaining. Brutal and skilled in-fighting.

                      i think this oscar/pbf fight is being overrated... oscar is past his prime at 35, has recently lost to shane and nard, looked bad against sturm and has a new trainer... yet people are talking about it being like leonard/duran.. no way...
