Who is more overated Roy Jones JR or Mike Tyson

[pelonxsoldier28]

RJJ is responsible for the trend of "Avoiding" fighters by giving the excuses like "He aint good enough" , "The Money aint right" and "Cherry picking".
Mike Tyson fought just about everyone there was win lose or No contest.
Unfortunately Mike peaked in his early 20's when the competition around him wasn't the best and then threw his career away with his problems outside the ring.
RJJ & his fans choose to be happy with the "Roy would beat anyone in his prime and didn't need to prove it because he just would..."
I'm not saying RJJ was crap , I just wish he would have chosen to prove he could beat everyone rather than just tell us he could have.

I AGREE, THAT COULD'NT OF BEEN SAID ANY BETTER

as opposed to calzaghe telling us hes the best and hiding away in cardiff instead of going after jones who was considered the kingpin at the time. the eyes dont lie just check out the videos man, tell me what you see

I dont care who fought everyone or who didnt. Roy Jones was an absolute monster, and nobody ever speaks of him as highly anymore. It's weird how one knockout when he was 35 made everything change.

Tyson is more overrated.

I can guarantee you Roy Jones wouldn't look like a monster had he fought every single top fighter in the MW, SMW and LHW divisions but of course that is not possible. But no one can say he couldn't have fought better opposition.

Some of the guys he fought were UNDESERVING, what if Mayweather took a fight against someone like Golden Johnson or Jesse Feliciano? Because that's what Roy did.

RJJ fought some good opposition but he also had some very awful filler fights.
