Who is more overated Roy Jones JR or Mike Tyson ? people talk about these 2 fighters like they were unstoppable in thier primes so i wanna know who is talked up way to much for your liking out of these 2
IMO Roy beat James Toney & lived off that fight for years he also beat Hopkins yet that was just seen as a run of the mill win agaisnt a good fighter but not great ,its only when Hopkins improved as a fighter & when on to become a great fighter himself that Roys win began to look much more impressive ,after Roy beat these 2 fighter he fought over the Hill fighters like Mike McCallum & then beat some fighters that he could have beaten on his worse night in Otis Grant ,Frazier,Hall ,telasco ,Kelly etc ,he beat Ruiz granted but even a fat James Toney acomplished that feet just shows the calibre of Heavyweight champion Ruiz actually was
as for Mike Tyson its no coincidence in my mind that he looked unstoppable in an ERA where the competition was less than stellar & his Biggest defeats were against the best fighters he faced in his whole career
