Who's the most over-rated fighter of all time ?

[.Mik.]

I'm amazed you could type that **** while jerking off to your Tyson posters on your wall. Seriously, Tyson faster, maybe comparable, but not faster, and Tyson having a better chin, HA!!! Tell me who knocked out Ali? Ali survived a brutal right hand from the hardest puncher the heavyweights have ever seen in Ernie Shavers. Granted Ali doesn't remember any part of the fight after that moment, but that is impressive. Tyson was good and Ali was great, overrated Ali might be a bit, but not the most overrated of all-time.

I think that perhaps you need to turn down the brightness on your computer.

Rocky Graziano. Great story - makes for wonderful reading but not elite, where he is often bracketed. Landed a big punch on Zale in fight 2 but was pulverised in the other 2 in quick fashion. When he faced Robinson he was schooled, badly.

Good figher with a very interesting story but not deserving of elite ranking.

Boxing was way different then, but Jack Dempsey may be a tad over rated by historians, considering he didn't defend his title for a spell of three years from 1923- 26 and then got beat by Tunney twice.

I think Jack was a big star of his day, Hollywood, first million dollar gate and all that, but he never met guys like Harry Wills either and had a number of losses and draws on his record, several to some guy named Willie Meehan.

I'm not knocking the guy too much, that was the sport in his day, only developing in the modern world, but I'm not sure he deserves to be rated so highly by the old timers.

Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter probably gets my vote.

A very tough brawler who had a good win over Emile Griffith in his first foray up from Welterweight, but it's been totally blown out of proportion due to the media stuff.

The only reason he beat Griffith was because he suckered him into a brawl (Griffith's downfall in his losses was his temper), & he got schooled by just about every other really good boxer he faced.

ali is the most overrated he was fast but not even in tyson league in speed and a chin. tyson was a level A and ali was a B+. u suckers really thought I meant it. ahaha

please don't compare tyson's chin to ali's, ali had a far better beard

The most overrated fighters were:

1) Muhammed Ali (not nearly as good as Joe Louis, Ali was beaten in his prime by Frazier and a journeyman, Ken Norton)

2) Jake La Motta (beaten how many times by Sugar Ray Robinson?)

Popularity is not the same thing as being the best in the ring.
