Mike Tyson - the most overrated boxer ever

exactly, Tyson is not overated , Marciano is IMO

 

100% spot on. :good

 

Henry Cooper disagrees.

 

i said in a fight they were losing, Ali was not losing that fight prior to the knockdown

 

Tyson was the greatest left and right hooker.

But Marciano had the best jab of all the sluggers.

Ali was the hook artist with no power.. that's why people thought he was the greatest.

The Damn Guy is a damn troll, and not a particularly funny or clever one.

 

and he keeps sending me abusive personal emails.

Streetwise is another one of his alts

 

Report the next one he sends you.

 

I've reported the last 3! :good

 

Maybe because in every fight he got floored he got KTFO??

 

If you were around when Tyson was at his peak you might over-rate him simply because he dominated the heavyweight division more than any fighter before or since, both in and out of the ring. He didn't just beat opponents, he destroyed them. Douglas and subsequent defeats showed that he had as many weaknesses as strengths but for those brief years he was champion he was a collossus of the sport.

 

Evander Holyfield: "Me and Tyson were the two best fighters of our era, i had to beat him to be recognised as the best"
Lennox Lewis: "I had to beat Mike Tyson to cement my legacy".
