Who's the most over-rated boxer from the 90's ??

[Eno]

I have to agree. I saw the Ike-Tuaman fight on Classic a couple weeks ago and there is nothing I can tell that would put Tua ahead of Ike in the fight. Rid**** Bowe might be overrated for the 90's considering he beat Holyfield once rightfully and the next time Holy basically gassed out. He got lucky in the two dq's of Golota and he openly ducke Lennox.

For me it's Lewis, the most over paid boxer in history compared to his ability.

how do you figure lewis was overrated? yea,,,he was stopped twice but he won in rematches and beat every single fighter he faced. how many retired heavyweights can say that? very very few

Beez. Watch it again?? Lol, I'm watching it as we speak. I'm fast forwarding the commercials, into the 9th round.

Ike is using that one handed block to pick off Tua's hook's perfectly. He's barely getting hit clea. And all you see after Tua's shot's are these fluid-ass combo's from Ike. He was countering Tua all day. Even on the INSIDE.

Jones Jr. and possibly Oscar.

Some consider Jones the greatest of all time or a top ten for sure. I don't. He beat a green Hopkins and a weak Toney, and it was a good style match up in his Jones' favor.
Jones is a great fighter but he just doesn't make it near the top.

Depending on who you're talking to, Terry Norris warrants consideration as either the most overrated, or most underrated, fighter of the decade. At his peak, his supporters had you believing he could do no wrong. Today I know a lot of people who are actually disgusted that he was mentioned as a possibility for the Hall of Fame, never mind voted in on the first try.

Terry Norris was probably one of the best boxers of the 90's era.

Though Camacho lost it very early on in the 90's, he was a brilliant fighter in his prime.

the ridiculous part of this post is not the "green" and "weak" bs:

how on earth is fighting toney or hopkins a good style matchup for anyone?

jones was unorthodox, but hop and toney are masters with the ring iq of einstein.

btw i dont consider jones much higher than hopkins or toney in my ranking, but downplaying those victories is just bull****

I think he was overrated. Who did he beat that was in their prime?

Anyone who thinks Lewis is overrated does not know anything about boxing.
