Most Overated Fighters of all Time

[Champoreeno]

There is no question the most overrated fighter of all time is Mike Tyson.

He was a phenom in the 80's, there's no question about that. But, even then.....the way folks went nuts about his invincibility was ridiculous.
You could see from the Tony Tucker fight that Mike had limitations....which would be exposed by a heavyweight with real skills & the balls to use them.

You can see how overrated Mike was by the way so many EXCUSED all of his losses.
So many couldn't handle that he lost because of his own limitations as a fighter. They HAD TO attribute it to outside causes, & that's because they were BLINDED by the excitement he generated. They all overrated what he could get done in there.

Look at how many people still think Mike is worth a damn today !
Just proves so many have never viewed his abilities with a clear mind.

Exactly...OVERRATED is the key word here. Sure he had his moments, but the fact that I can walk into any bar in the country, and find someone who thinks a prime Tyson would beat any fighter of any era regardless, suggests that he is indeed quite overrated.

And who dares to deny that the most wises of people are found in a bar.

(BTW please do not mention Ali now!)

Mike Tyson is the winner of the overrated club. He beat an assortment of average heavyweights in his prime, Berbick, Smith, Thomas, Tucker, Biggs, Holmes was too old and slow to count for ****, and Tony Tubbs. i ratted Michael Spinks and Tyson did him in a round so i credit him with this win but what else did he do apart from beat these, aprt from Spinks and Holmes is too old, useless group of heavyweights, and nearly half of them had either drug or weight problems, Tucker ( drugs ) Tubbs ( fittness ), Thomas ( drugs ), Smith ( a journeyman with a **** record ). So after Tyson beat Bruno ( ha ha )and Carl `**** truth; Williams he gets Ko`ed by Buster Douglas, and battles in hard fights with Razor Ruddock, who was kinda average. He gets released from prison and fights two nobodies in McNealey and Mathis, then beats on poor Bruno again, then Bruce Seldon who`d probably worse than Bruno. Evander Holyfield, a shot fighter and he`s gonna end up in wheel chair most boxing fans claimed beats him up twice. Then Fran Botha kicks Tyson`s ass for 4 and a half rounds only to walk on to a punch. Tyson couldn`t beat Orlin `Crusierweight' Norris, then he beats a 21 - 7 Brit in Juilus Francis, then beats on an old and shot Lou Saverse and he beats Golota when high on dope and rightly has the win taken away. Brain Nieslen, Tyson won that one like a legend didn`t he and Lennox Lewis beats him up in a one sided fight. Cliff Etgtitane gets Ko`d in 53 secs, people are claiming Tyson is gonna rip Lewis apart in the rematch, and,guess what, a Brit, a Brit lol, knocks him out in 4. This guy isn`t in the top ten heavyweights of all time, on these facts, how the hell could he be?
