The Most Overrated Boxer of All Time

[Yogi]

Get the **** outta here you hating ass punk I'd love to spit in ur face and kick u in the ****in head!

Quit hating *****!

Joe Louis ducked 5 guys and lost to all of them? he only has 3 losses ****face, and 2 of them are white people...

He was old as **** when he fought Charles...

Joe Louis the night he knocked out Schmeling KOs anyone in history.

That guy is talking out of his ass and is obviously clueless to what he's talking about. For your viewing, or more importantly for that moron's education, here's the Ring's annual rankings for both the 1930's and 1940's;

A simply crosscheck of Louis' record shows he fought the vast majority of the top contenders of his era, and it's ridiculous for Imnorw to claim Louis ducked anybody during the late 30's and early 40's.

It appears the links I gave to the Heavyweight rankings of the 30's and 40's didn't work, but anybody can access that by heading over to boxrec, clicking on the encyclopaedia and checking out the most popular pages...The page for the ratings should be among the top dozen or so.

anyone who says roy jones jr is the most over rated fighter of all time is a biased idiot. roy may be over rated, but were talking all time over rated here. same thing goes with hatton. seriously you cant say ricky hatton is the most over rated fighter in the history of boxing. roy and ricky the most over rated in all of boxing since, well, like 100 years ago? please people, please.

Roy Jones Jr. is not over rated. He is just old now, and that seems to happen to every fighter. It's a funny thing..... age. It seems to get the best of all of us.

We can't really say that a fighter was over rated just because he fought a little too long and let father time get the best of him. Almost all of the great fighters have been guilty of that.

Roy Jones Jr. was probably one of the most invincible fighters I have ever seen in his heyday.

Muhammad Ali could not have been beaten when he was 27 years old unless he had been drugged. Nobody even came close.

Marciano beat everyone he fought. What more can you say about that? Yes, he was strange to watch and awkward looking, but he KO'd lots of guys.

If we want to talk about over-rated fighters, and in my mind, "over-rated" would mean fighters that never really lived up to their billing. These fighters to me would be:

Wladimir Klitscko
Gerry Cooney
Mike Tyson
Michael Grant
Vinny Pazienza
Michael Spinx (at heavyweight)
Marvis Frazier



These are some obvious ones to me. There are lots of them, but alot of them were blown up to be the next big thing, and then they faded into obscurity.

and primo carnera

primo carnera is unanimously regarded as the WORST HW champion of all time (along with john the bum ruiz).

most overrated is Sugar Ray Leonard.
