    Definitely not Tyson.

    Hatton is overrated, but not too much.

    McClellan and Toney are lock-ins for this title. Toney had some real skill, but not as much as he and his fans think. He was good pre-fight though, and could usually back it up in the ring. McClellan is a complete fraud. Lost to nobodies and then they lowered the level even more. Met two decent fighters his entire carreer and got KTFO by one of them. Bowe is another one that comes to mind as a real one-hit wonder... (beat smaller Evander and ....? noone). At least he wasn't a complete fraud like McClellan.

    true, but my arguments are still valid.

    So Toney is not an ATG then?

    Joe Calzaghe. Lacy (A ****in punch bag), Kessler (exposed), Hopkins (Good win but horrible fight and controversial) and a shot to **** Jones.

    Nothing else on his resume is worth a **** and his super middleweight defences would make a ****in pig puke.

    How anyone can drop the likes of Tyson, Hagler or SRL into a most over rated list is baffling.

    I agree. Tyson, when trained by Cus D'Amato and then Kevin Rooney (up until the Spinks fight) was the best heavyweight of all time, along with Rocky Marciano.

    The reason Tyson is so underrated is because he sacked Kevin Rooney and hired a trainer he could boss around. Tyson stopped training seriously after the Spinks fight, and it's obvious in those next fights. Against Douglas, it all came down on him.:bbb

    I agree with this. Trinidad was good, but I never got all the hype around him. DLH boxed the **** out of him and then acted like an ass and ran for 3 rounds. He was an elite fighter but he wasn't what people make him out out to be..
