Well, I'am glad Trinidad has been put in the same sentence as Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, and Muhammed Ali. Just looking at the names thrown in this thread, makes me choose : you guys are overrated.
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 Frank Bruno Razor Ruddock
Overrated my ass. Hush up. Easily top five heavyweight of all time no matter how you look at it. Im sorry;
peopl dont watch him cuz hes a P4P guy. they watch him cuz he doesn't take no for an answer, and likes to have a bloody mess.
I mentioned what you said, he fights wars vs not so good fighters and he loses to the better fighters like Mayweather and Oscar as if he was a helpless woman, the reason i put Arturo Gatti is because yhis topic is for most overated, and that what Gatti is, their are people who think Gatti is a very good fighter, ive heard people talk about Gatti as if he were great, that is why, Gatti deserves a shot at the most overated list. If you hear people like Mayweather fans brag about a win over Gatti, it makes you think whats the big deal, I know Mayweather is a great fighter but its only Gatti, Nobody expected Gatti to win, its not like if they got a decision over a better fighter like a Judah or Margarito. Gatti is overated as hell
I think Mike Tyson is the most UNDER-rated fighter ever (84-88) but I also think Mike Tyson is over-rated (88-05). Basically, Post-Catskill he was a joke.
As for Ali, ridiculously over-rated and definately one of the most over-rated of all-time. Lennox Lewis and Bernard Hopkins were also over-rated. But the most over-rated of all-time has to go Roy Jones Jr by a country mile.
