Depends on to what extent you'r referring to "overrated".
If you're arguing against him being the HARDEST hitter ever, then that seems fine to argue.
However, he was one of the hardest hitters. He was short with short arms and had to create leverage differently than guys like Liston and Foreman.
Look at it this way.
Chris Byrd's single hardest punch may be a 45/100
Foreman's slow, single right hand may have been a 95/100.
but each uppercut, hook, straight punch in Tyson's speedy 3-6 punch combinations were like 80/100
He may not have hit the hardest, but EACH and ever punch he threw was fast, accurate and hard enough.
