Greatest but most overhyped (top 5)

[NChristo]

5.Mike Tyson (When anyones level of skill was above Spink's it was basically over)

Spinks was probably the most skilled boxer Tyson ever fought.

4.James Toney (NEVER won a big fight in his LIFE)

Nunn and McCallum.

In my humble opinion, in this day and age of uber-advertising....it is easy.

1. Mayweather Jr.
2. Pacquiao

should be the top...nothing against their CAPABILITY (Btoh are awesome fighters) obviously but they're overhyped likewise, but that's the nature of the "business" and sadly so because of this. I always looked at it as pugilism and an art, until money comes in.

When you uber-oodles of millions of dollars per fight, then you know it is overhyped.

Oscar De La Hoya would be up there. For all the uperfights he had, almost non of them were as good as they should've been.

I don't think this guys trolling, his points about Tyson and Jones are valid, whether you agree with them or not.

Oscar De La **** wins this !! He has his own promotion company, and statue for losing all his big fights, and fighting Trinidad left overs lol

I actually meant something on the level of his jones fight but ok I guess thats as high as it gets..

Spinks was probably the most skilled boxer Tyson ever fought.

Nunn and McCallum.

jirov too. i consider it a big fight anyway

Manny Pacquiao

Roy Jones fought over 20 champion fighters, and fought over 30 championship fights. Toney has definitely fought good opposition. Look up his record. Are you 15, must be because you obviously are too young to remember the careers of these fighters you mentioned. Try not to listen to half of these people, they just hate.

roy is the greatest and the most overhyped is tyson

Fail thread...

We also get it, you don't like black fighters

[TOBYLEE1]

This thread fails. Did you ever see Jirov/Toney? Griffin/Jones II? Tyson/Spinx?...I could go on and on
