most overrated "legendary" boxer in the last 20 years

[Prince Boateng]

How on earth do you put Lewis on the list and not any of the Klit's.

Yes, Tyson did lget KO'd in his prime, but so did Wlad on more than one occasion. Of course, Tyson is overated but I think he would have done a lot beter if he didnt go to jail. Its kinda like Pac, who is beating fighters in such a fashion that is always going to give you more kudos, even if those opponents aren't really the greatest or have been cherry picked....

Lewis is funny because he's both overrated and underrated. He's considered one of the best HW champions ever until you bring up how Vitali beat him on the cards before the cut stoppage and how many shared opponents the Klitschkos have put down.

Since a lot of brothas & british would rather take a cactus up the butt than give the Klitschkos any credit, Lewis will drop from an ATG heavyweight to an untalented slow giant in literally 5 seconds of conversation. Personally I think all 3 were/are great. If Tysons opponents had absolutely nothing then the Lewis/Klitschko batch of HWs can at least claim to be the largest and most powerful across the board ever if not the slickest.

Since when have championships been 6 round fights? The cards are irrelevant. An out of prime Lewis beat an in prime Vitali. Those are facts. Cuts are a part of boxing.


It's also funny how you only pick the black fighters or "brothas" as you put it, as overrated. Tyson only beat bums but Vitali and Wlad have beaten quality opponents. Yeah Ok.

Currently it would be Manny Pacquiao not because he isn't awesome because people believe him to be a perfect fighting machine and only see the positives while just glossing over flaws.

A couple fighters on that list had the same treatment at various points though, like Tyson and Jones.

First and foremost, I think there were too many names to only pick one but I picked calzaghe based on his nothingness that he’s contributed to boxing.

[MADBOXER]

ha ha ha wifebeater leads again! LOL

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Hahaha Floyd Mayweather should not be leading this poll. Maybe some of his fans piss u off but he's not overrated, he's an amazing fighter no matter how much you hate him. I picked Calzaghe. Good fighter but for those who think he's greater than he actually is because he beat Roy Jones and Hopkins, yes, he's overrated. Both fighters were way passed their prime.

[Pullcounter]

atleast hamed gave us some great KOs and he actually got in the ring with a prime mab.

1) Tyson
2) Hamed
3) Jones Jr
