    **** off. Rocky is one of the best heavyweights that ever lived. He is up there with Lennox Lewis and Danny Williams. Ali is/was the most overrated boxer EVER. The guy couldn't fight, he ran and slapped and got owned in all the fights I saw him in.

          Both cleaned out the heavyweight division. Can't really blame them for the era the fought in. They did what they had to do.

                why do you think rocky was/is overrated? i look at it like this: the guy had very little hand speed and was by no means a slickster, but he could punch like hell, was tough as nails, and worked his ass off. there are plenty of guys who have those attributes that never become world champion. for him to do it the way he did it was pretty special in my opinion.

                  yep Mike Tyson is massively overrated people say he was not the same after prison welll neither was Holy after his wars with Cooper,Stewart,Bowe,Qawi,Stewart but he was still to good for Tyson if Holy had enough left than there is no reason to think Tyson had declined so much

                    yeah, prison had little to do with it imo. at his best he was not beating lennox, or holy imo.
