    I don't know about that, the crab position Charlie went into was pretty effective defensively :p

    It all depends on the opinion I am reading/hearing.

    Being that there are many fans and critics out there who fit this bill, I would say people who only list one fighter from the last 20 years in their top 50 overrate a decent bunch of fighters by definition.

    :huh explain that one, Armstrong and Monzon and many others had limitless stamina and they fought more rounds than they do now, not to mention Monzon smoked like 5 packs a day,.....and I mean just looking at the HW division then and now it's embarrassing how lazy and bad conditioned boxers are now compared to the old timers.

    Most of them

    the older they are, the more overrated

    Jack Johnson, Dempsey, those kind of dinosaurs

    they were good for their primitive era of undersized men, but they'd be nobodies if they were fighting today

    Lennox Lewis was the best HW champ since Muhammad Ali. He never got the respect he deserved because he was an Englishman the US fighters couldn't beat:patsch
