Most overrated aspects of a heavyweight?

Follow up to Crowcroft's thread

I'll start:

- Lewis's power
- Marciano's defense
- Ali's ability to be caught
- Liston's power
- Tyson's chin
- Vitali's chin
- Wlad's stamina
- Louis's power
- Tua's everything
- Lyle's chin
- Wills' everything

 

They overrate him because they cling to ANYTHING they can hate Dempsey for. That's why the entire "fab four" of McVea, Jeannette, Langford (in a heavyweight perspective) and Wills are overrated

Even though I only see Wills beating a prime Willard and none of them beating Johnson or Dempsey. Guys like Fred Fulton, Billy Miske and Luther McCarty were equivalemt to McVea and Jeannette at the very least.

 

I've heard Vitali called the chin GOAT even though he really rarely got caught. A combination of his defense, power and imposement of his size. I think he's been hurt before at least.

Louis did not hit harder than Baer, Dempsey or Marciano. This is fact stated by multiple sources and I wish people would stop trying to deny it. Louis had awesome 1 punch knockout power, both those other three, especially Dempsey and Marciano, were absolute monsters.

 

It's never brought up in his head to head matchups. Imo it's one of the reasons I find it nigh impossible to see him beat Marciano

 

And that cruiser would still knock out the heavyweights

Also never compare Marciano to Beterbiev, there's such a skill and talent gap there that it's not even funny. Marciano would impose his power and pace in Wlad and break him down
