Who do you think was the most overrated heavyweight boxer ?

There was not much separating him, Douglas in Tokyo was a great fighter.
But Bowe was not near prime when he fought Golota. Less energy, diet & lack of training had sapped muscle.
He likely beats Golota in both fights, even if competitive, when prime.
Being out of his prime so early? That was all his fault.

As was installing the fridge in his bedroom.

 

Somebody once asked Alexis Arguello who the best fighter he ever saw was and his answer was Cassius Clay, before he became Ali.

 

and that was from a man who never seen people in future like fury lennox and others so his words means nothing no person words matter

 

I agree with you completely. The opinion of a person (like Arguello) who never saw people in the future absolutely has no credibility. The fact that Arguello was one of the best fighters of all time has no relevance. Thanks for clarifying that.

 

like I said at end words dont matter from anybody it can be bias or lying

 

We are completely on the same page!

 

I have Ali as my #1 Heavyweight of All Time in resume and probably even head to head. He is overrated though by the general public, general sports fan. Many will tell say he is the greatest boxer of all time. A by product of his own boasting and personality.

That kind of makes him an easy choice here.

 

If you're saying he's the best heavyweight ever then it's stands to reason that he's right to say he's the best fighter ever because if he can beat any fighter ever in the ring in a boxing match then he gotta be the best and the greatest.

 

we argee legend and I was told ali wasnt overrated sense he beat names

I still dont know who is more overrated ali or Louis I wanna say Louis sense ali could be put in any era and do good just we dont know how good sense he never had to deal with these big hw like lennox or fury with skill

 

wrong cause he didnt beat the best the best skilled fighter he fought was joe and floyd it is no holy lennox fury all these guys are better then joe and floyd way better in skill ali never fought these type

so no ali is not the best I would put lennox over him for facing more skilled

 

Sarcasm? If not...

WTF? Tyson won every one of his big fights before prison homie!! I guess Thomas, Tucker, Biggs, Holmes and Spinks weren't considered big fights in the 80's?

If you consider Berbick as the big one, then what's with the above mentioned fights?

Let's do the time warp again, hey fellas!?

 

hey legend you know rob is a troll to and liar mike beat more skilled people then ali but never gets credit for it those names you said all was skilled so called bums though to idiots

where did that lie of mike never won big matches come from he beat those names and was the only won to do a old Larry that way which showed larry was still skilled

 

I can see the argument for him being over rated, but the most over rated?

How over rated can you be if you are legitimately the best in your weight class.

 

Truth!

The only way Ali could actually be overrated would be if people on here were saying he could beat say Joe Louis and Evander Holyfield, with the three of them all in the ring at the same time, as in 2 against 1. I don't see anyone saying that.

 

What the hell are you talking about, Arguello saw Holyfield, Bowe, Tyson, and a fair ammount of Lewis, are you implying that the Heavyweights of today are on another level compared to those of the past???? LOL!
