    Hatton was an overachiever as opposed to being overrated

    If Tyson is overrated, what does that make Lennox and Holyfield, who were hell bent on cementing their legacies by beating Tyson?

    That's only due to the overinflated public perception of Tyson. The American boxing public always seemed to use it as an excuse of why they Lewis wasn't that great.

    Actually most would and do have him top 10 in HW's. I am not a huge Tyson fan, and used to rate him about 12....I just can't find 10 that I would legitimately rate over him.

    Who have the Klitschko's fought?

    If Mike Tyson fought cab drivers, then the Klitschko's are fighting people who CLEAN those cabs at the car wash.

    Not trying to be funny,
    Are your trying to say that Tyson was overrated and in turn Lewis isnt that great either?
