Who's the most over-rated fighter you have ever seen?

The difference between Tyson and Mitch Green and Tyson/Wladmir is that Green had a very good chin and wasnt afraid to engage with Tyson. This was a young Tyson who was still green.

Tyson and Tucker/Smith - Both very quickly realised they would not be able to tame him, so they decided to hug and dance to a 12 round decision. Whens the last time Wladmir actually fought a guy who wasnt here to lie down?

Wladmir would be fighting the Tyson that hunted down Tyrell Biggs, not the guy who had his last hurrah against Lennox Lewis.

It will take more than just jab and grab to tame Mike Tyson, thats when Wladmir realises what hes in for, he then either gets knocked out, or hugs his way to a decision loss.

 

Dont see the guy withstanding Tyson's best puch and Mike wasn't a guy to wait around for opportunities. There is a method to beat Wlad and Tyson had it

 

Wladmir doesnt have the fluidness or the footwork or a Buster Douglas, he doesnt have the chin, heart or inside game of Holyfield.

Even Lennox Lewis was deathly cautious of the already halfway in retirement version of Tyson that he fought

Douglas being fearless and having a good chin was was a huge factor. Wlad doesn't have the mental strenght or chin to handle an animal like Mike.

Lewis who is is a superior version of Wlad knew his style would go against him if they fought back in the day. It was Lewis who gave Sanders the gameplan to beat Wlad.

 

look how recklessly Lennox fought Vitali and yet look with how much respect and caution he fought Tyson.

Tyson was a great fighter both lennox and holyfield knew this and thats why they were so desperate to beat him.

who do people call out today? the Klitskchos. Nobody calls out Audley harrison.

 

wow....some crazy postings here.

 

On ESB: Calzaghe, Wladimir, Vitali, Povetkin

All the above for sub-par resume's & being loved by their nationalist fanbase, PityTheFool described Povetkin best, but he's hardly well known enough to be the most overrated

lucian Bute was formerly in this category, until he stepped up his competition and was dealt a harsh lesson

IRL: Pacquiao (there's a mind-fogging that surrounds his fights like no other from the hbo commentary team, I'm aware he has a contract with HBO and has an image that makes him easy to promote but c'mon)

Let me put this in small words so ya'll will understand it

Floyd Mayweather is VERY overrated...
OK he is one of the most naturally talented boxers I have ever seen BUT
that alone does not make him an ATG or anywhere near one. Floyd was sadly cursed with the cojones of a gnat, which forced him to duck dodge & avoid every fighter with a legit chance of beating him. Damn even Hatton's remote chance was taken away by appointing Joe Cortez as ref. He was there to stop Hatton fighting his fight & ensure he had no chance.

Roy Jones jr comes a close second due to his cherry picking

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but it was Tyson that ducked Lewis all along same way Bowe did. Damn King even paid Lennox $4mil to stand aside & let Tyson fight Holyfield instead assuring Lennox he'd be next.
We all know what happened then

 

Lennox was deathly cautious in the fight dumbass

 

has anyone mentioned manos de excusas Roberto Duran?????????? The most overrated fighter ever!!!!!

 

yes he was overrated but not the most overrated! Duran was still a 4 time weight winner like his buddy Thomas Hearns and Pernell Whitaker!!

 

Yup, Linares was in the same boat as well.

 

atsch Stop talking to yourself, ya clown.
