    the most overrated fighters of the last 40 years?

    julio chavez-bulit up his record fighting outclass guys in mexico,also was very slow not alot of power and easy to hit

    roberto duran-hands of stone? hardly..this guy was hardly a very hard puncher, hardly used a jab in a tough fight, was wild ala gatti or mayorga

    mike tyson-was a knockout artist but never beat anybody any good leon spinks should haev been at 175, larry holmes was 40 when he beat him, buster douglas did to him what rid**** bowe would have done, lennox and evander would have exposed him at any point in his career

    muhhamad ali-hand speed was overrated just because a guy bounces around in the ring dosent mean his fast as lighting...and his power sorry bob foster the light heavyweight champ moved up to take on ali and said "ali couldnt punch his way thru a paper bag" after their match

    carlos monzon
    -didnt do anything special..would have gotten exposed by leonard hagler or hearns...he only fought bums from argentina..and argentina has never been a boxing capital..i give julio chavez more credit

      1)Tyson and 2)Ali.

      The boxers the general public love the most tend to be the most overrated.

      They Loved Tyson for his KO's, But the quality of opposition was the equivalent of me in the ring with a Grade 7 kid.

      They Loved Ali for his mouth.
      God, I hated it.

        Muhammad Ali Is The Greatset There Has Ever Been And Ever Will Be
        He Couldnt Punch Through A Paper Bag So Punched Through Liston And Foreman Instead

          Ali can't be overrated, he is the greatest. The only time he'd be overrated is if people say he can beat Marciano and Foreman in the ring at the same time (or some other thing ).

            hand speed overrated? it was clocked to be as fast as robinsons you twat! no one could hit him, and no one could hurt him if by chance he actually got hit you moron. he can't punch? i think it is called sour g****s. watch the williams, bonavena, liston, wepner, patterson, terrel, lyle, ect, ect, ect... fights. you are an idiot!
