I dont think you can rate him really , you only have to look at his achievments, I think everyone knows him for what he is, average that is
a good top 10 heavyweight in the late 90's. done sod all since the lewis fight though has he. show him something different and he hasn't got a clue how to deal with it. if he catches ya right your ****ed though. :yep
Apart from hitting hard he is and always has been a joke a top level, anyone who can hold a punch and box abit will beat him.
true anywon that can box a bit n hold him off will beat him,but thats a big ask of any1,mind you though lewis wobbled him in the 12th when they fought
I don't think he's underrated, people think quite high of him. It fascinates most people when a guy has an iron jaw and a huge punch. Boxing skills are not fascinating but they are just as (if not more) important anyway, and that's where David lacks. I had him losing that "draw" fight with Rahman and the knockdown was completely legit in my eyes, it's not like the bell rang and Tua dropped his hands, he was dropped when they were still fighting. His fight with "The president" is a classic though, one of my favorites even if it has no knockdowns and neither fighter was clearly hurt. But a guy like Lewis will always beat him, whom by the way, did take Tua's best shot on several occasions.
No..I find him overrated. A lot of people have said he's 50/50 with prime Tyson, Louis and Liston for frigg sakes. That's A LOT of praise for someone who has always lost at the elite level of a bad heavyweight division. :yep
