    Tyson, Holmes, and B-Hop. All great fighters who would struggle against the elite in any other era.

    Ill informed I don't think so .. Corralles was ranked number 4 trust me this isn't the first time this has been brought up .

    Hernadez old at 32 was old WOW so what does that make nate cambell and casamayor and pac is 29 oh and juan is 34 , 32 is old????
    get the **** outta here !!!!

    I know nothing about Ricky career ?? does the word Liner mean anything to you ?!?!

    Castillio and Corralles beat every top fighter at 130 and 135 that include steve johnston , Fretas, casamayor , that the cream of the crop at 130 and 135 at the time .. who else do you know .

    Rahman also beat future WBO beltholder Corrie Sanders, won at least 7 rounds against David Tua in rematch but was robbed (after getting robbed in the first fight by an incompetent ref).

    There's fighters more overrated, like one who LOST to Lewis and whose most meaningful win was over an older, less active, fatter Corrie Sanders than the one Rahman defeated.

    Floyd Patterson...HE GOT ABSOLUTELY WRECKED BY SONNY LISTON TWICE!!! IN THE PEAK OF HIS CAREER!!! 1 round demolitions

    Ali would demolish him 2 years later as well.


    This happened in the peak of his fighting career yet he's still mentioned in the same breath witht hese guys

    You could argue the Liston losses were around his prime(definitely NOT the peak), but he was facing a bigger, more natural HW, and Patterson never gets mentioned as highly at HW as Ali or Liston, considering he was a natural LHW and his best performances came against fighters closer to his size, such as his demolition of Archie Moore 6 years before he lost to Liston. Those were around his peak years.

    For a small HW and natural LHW, he had a fantastic career at HW, he just lost to the best big men of the era with size advantages. I don't consider that overrated at all.

    Like TStealer stated, Rahman has done enough not to be deemed overrated. I would put Rahman in the wasted talent category. The way his game has evolved is disturbing considering his talent level.
