    The only person that believes Floyd is better than SRL and SRR, and also believes that he is the best fighter that ever lived is Floyd. Also I'm pretty sure Floyd didn't become P4P number 1 until Hopkins lost to Taylor in 2005.

    James Toney is not overrated. He only missed fighting John David Jackson at middleweight, and he fought everyone he should have at super middleweight.
    He has way out done Jones Jr. at heavyweight. Holyfield, Ruiz, a draw with Tua, and a disputed loss to Peter. Toney deserves some flack for a positive test for steroids(which has only happened once in his career), but he still has solid credentials.

    I don't think Hamed was overrated. I remember fans calling him an all time great, but fans of people sometimes do that. Publications were not calling him an all time great. They were saying he was the best in his division, and you could argue that he was until he lost to Barrera. I made a whole $20 bucks predicting that one. I thought Barrera would win, but I wasn't putting big money on it.

    Pacquiao is definitely not. Morales, Barrera, a contraversial draw with Marquez. Pacquiao could be argued #1 lb. for lb.

    Vitali is an acceptable argument, so is Lacey.

    I can't see the genious but I can see the genius. BTW how the f*ck is Hamed over rated. He defended his title a heap of times and won titles in different divisions from memory. He beat top guys like Kevin Kelly, McCullough, Ingle and Medina. Not bad for an over rated fighter. His loss to Bareera wasn't a shutout by any means either, and Barerra is an ATG. In comparison Barerra's loss to Pac is far worse.

    Maybe in some point mayweather is overrated, I am not saying he is not good cause he is, but he can claim himself about being the best man in the sport if he didnt fight tzyu, casamayor, cotto, margarito, mosley and many others.... i would say jermain taylor was very overrated too

    Mike Tyson.

    People believe he could beat a prime Ali, Lewis, or Louis when he was in his "prime". Tyson is thought of as the best heavyweight ever, and while he was very good, he absolutely doesn't deserve those accolades.
