Who are the top 5 most overrated heavyweights ever

nope he is correctly rated as the best heavyweight in the world

try to learn more about the sport before commenting here then you won’t look so stupid

 

lewis and tyson

 

I'd go Lewis and Tyson, also

 

Evan Field.

 

1. Donovan Ruddock - never beat really good non-shot heavyweight. Was beaten up twice by post-Douglas Tyson, demolished by pre-prime Lennox and past prime Morrison. And still a lot of people act like he was some incredible monster, while at the same time underrating guys like Buster Douglas who had MUCH better resume and credentials

2. Jim Corbett - some people try to make him a HW version of Pernell Whitaker, which is as far from the truth as can be

3. Shannon Briggs - had beyond awful resume for a HW title holder, let alone lineal champion. Aside of gift "win" over 49-years-old George Foreman, a "win" over 44-years-old Ray Mercer, who obviously took a dive, and last-second KO over Liakhovich Briggs has beaten literally nobody. His fourth best official win is probably journeyman Marion Wilson. Plus Briggs, while in his prime, was demolished by Darrol Wilson, beaten up badly by Jameel McCline and even got beaten by 9-9 opponent Cedrick Fields!

4. Jack Dempsey - great fighter, but nowhere near to top 5 HW of all time and a lot of people (including boxing writers) had him very high in their all time list

5. Jack Sharkey - very good fighter, but when people rank him over Schmeling it's pretty weird. Schmeling had much better resume, I think his resume would be better even without Louis win and that win alone is one of the greatest achievements in the boxing history

I also think Vitali is overrated as well. Can't believe some people rank him ahead of Wlad by achievements. I would understand H2H, but by achievements Wlad Vitali isn't even close to Wlad

 

Lol

 

what an in-depth response

 

Shannon Briggs - Very likable guy, and his trolling vids of Wlad is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen. But like another poster points out, pretty poor resume for a lineal champ, especially since that title was gifted to him.

Mike Tyson - Great fighter. He's not on this list because I think he's not. But some people only know two fighters. Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. He's great, but he's not THAT great.

Deontay Wilder - Great puncher, but the most one dimensional fighter ever. But I don't "hate" him. If he beats a few top ten guys under the age of 45 I might take him off the list.

The other two go to some of the early white "champs" who refused to fight blacks. Perhaps they were the best. Perhaps they were not. We'll never know because they refused giving us the opportunity to find out.

 

Wilder
Joshua
Holmes
Bowe
Ibeabuchi

 

Fury has done almost nothing in boxing, Wilder is a bum, and he's beaten 40 yr old Wlad, this is literally the extent of his record.
Fury is an unbeatable monster who would outbox Ali and everyone else, because he's what? a few inches taller?
Maybe Dundee went wrong with Ali? He should have just trained him in the twitching freak style and kept him fighting 40 year olds.
What an absoulute joke.

 

Fury would have made ali look silly he is the most overrated boxer in history he couldn’t even beat ken norton who Fury would have decimated easily

 

Yes because Fury's resume is just so much better than Norton's, let alone Ali's!
Joke!

 

Ali and Wilder.

 

Fury easily outboxed wlad who would have destroyed ali

Fury is so much better then ali it’s actually comical

 

Cool
