    depends on what you mean by overrated. He's not the best fighter of all time. A lot of casuals think that. But his resume and skill are very sexy

    Khan's W over MAB was good victory (not great), He was 21 years old and had only 1 fight since being KO'd by Prescott.

    Naseem Hamed Would have been competetive with MAB if he trained properly.

    Some Old timers get overrated

    99% of currently active fighters won many (one too many) fights against men who were paid and showed up to lose. Men who often come out after years away from the gym, and the sport, to pad a fighter's record.

    This is a sick practice in boxing, only to be justified by it's followers? Disguisting. Corruption at it's finest.

    Bottom line? The corruption is never ending and tomato cans and their promoters do more hurt than help for the sport. That warrior mentality ended with The Gillette Cavalcade of Sports.

    Boxing needs a reset button more than anything :deal

    Mike Tyson is not one of the top 10 greatest heavyweights of all time.

    Ali was never close to being the same fighter after exile.

    Both Klitschkos are top ten HWs over the last 50 years.

    So it's just a coincidence that all three of these fighters just so happened to not fight the top man at 140 at that time? Mayweather has called out Pac too but once people called his bluff for it, Pac is not next anymore. He never was going to fight Tszyu just like he has no intenion what so ever of fighting Pacquiao or the Williams Martinez winner.

    Like I said before, suprisingly, Judah had either the most balls or was just stupid and paid the price.

    Neither Mayweather/Casitillio fight were close. Neather was Mayweather/De La Hoya.
    In all three fights Mayweather avoided being robed.

    Marquez was fortunate to be given the benefit of the doubt to recover in the first Pacquiao fight. Many boxers were knocked down in a similar manner (Kirkland, Tysyu/Mitchell 2, Lopez/Ponce De Leon) or took less punishment (Manfredo/Calzaghe, Canelo/Gomez, Cotto/Corley) and the referee didn't give the same opportunity regardless of the fighters capabilities.
