Who do you think is the most overrated boxer ever?

[SquareCircle]

????come on man..Tyson ruled his division for a long time...give me another pick...

a long time?

3 years would be a long time to rule his division if he had fought more often in that time frame

but he had like 6-7 fights (none against guys in their prime btw) within a 3 year timespan, starting from when he beat Smith..Then he ducked a 40 year old George Foreman like a hoe...but w/e, if you wanna respect that kinda guy then be my guest.

no you are not an ******* but you are damn close...Ali is the Greatest...dont forget it playa..But Zab is by far the most overrated boxer today..as for ever, I'll get back on that one...

I just don't see how people can call Ali overrated, the beating he took from George that night and to still come out the victor, and by knockout...a true fan would bow and respect that.

I think Bruce Lee is the most overrated 'fighter' (i quote that because he never fought a single match in his life)

people love to compare Lee to guys like he'd actually have a chance and what's crazy is one time on this forum, a Lee vs Ali thread was made and like 90 people picked Bruce Lee to win..I'm not trying to say the board is full of dumbasses but maybe alot of kids browse it or something, who knows.

king sat down with mike after his loss to douglas and explained to him that he needed another big name to get him back into circulation,Foreman was coming back into the picture around this time and every time Foreman would have a big win he'd call out Mike on the mic, as soon as king mentioned Foreman, he yelled at king and declined the fight out of fear for his life, true story. I'll prolly get -karma for this from a bunch of tyson fans but its really the truth,and im not a karma whore, I say what I'm thinking not what people wanna hear.

Truth is Mike ducked the biggest fight of his life,the fight the public wanted, which was Tyson vs Foreman, a 40 year old Foreman, at that. Tyson was 22 or 23 when this happened. He was afraid of a 40 year old man.

****ing Yawn.

Holds wins over,

Currently "highly regarded" Vitali Klitschko

Mike Tyson-- And dont give me this "Mike was washed up..." ****...because they were the same age basically.

Evander Holyfield--1 legitimate win + the draw that should have been a win....but was robbed.

David Tua

Michael Grant-, who was considered the future of the heavyweight division because of his impressive undefeated record at the time.

Shannon Briggs
Andrew Golota
Henry Akiwande
Oliver McCall

Razor Ruddock


Overrated my ass. Hush up. Easily top five heavyweight of all time no matter how you look at it. Im sorry;

Metallica:

"You know its sad but truuuuuuueeeeeeee!"

Mike was washed up. Its not about the age, Tyson was inactive and mentally destroyed. But I agree that Lewis was not overrated.

JERMAINE TAYLOR IMO is overrated..

joe calzaghe hes been rated so high up from fighting bums in europe for 99% of his career only big wins are lacy(ridiculously over hyped) bhop(44 and didnt have the legs to keep up that pace no more) kessler (good win) roy jones jr (over the hill)


i saw him at cotto-clottey fight he was 10 ft away from me made eye contact and i yelled calslappy at the top of my lungs it was awesome even if he would have kicked my ass

[taker1570]

Tyson.


For those of you saying Ali or Jones, idk if i agree with Jones, but Ali maybe. He is more famous for his trash talk then his actual fights, besides his fight with Frazier, and the most famous is the Thrilla in Manilla anyways, and maybe the Sonny Liston fight. But Ali was very good, and Jones Jr's skills were out of this world.

i met him outside of the arena and got his autograph. He was a nice guy.

I'm not saying this to be an *******, i genuinely believe Ali is and was the most overated fighter ever.
