How so? I agree but what is your reasoning? For example I believe he showed very little ability to adapt. Oh and to answer the question I nominate Shane Mosley, he is touted in the general forum as an ATG but his resume is very thin, he used steroids albeit unknowingly and I don't know if he even belongs in the hall of fame. Credit to the sport though and he is a very nice guy.
Zab is not overrrated at all. Nobody is calling him #1 p4p, they acknowledge his talent and appreciate what he brings to the table. Overrated: Vitaly Klitschko
Obvious Answer: Tyson (Crazy enough to call him top 10 but some go crazier and place him top 5???) Current: Zab Judah (just who is he a threat to???)
I'm happy with Trinidad for an anwer. But George Foreman is certianly worth a mention in the h2h sense.
Tyson is not overrated. Top 10 ATG, abosolutely. Top 5 no, maybe head to head but not in terms of achievements. Judah is not overrated, I don't see anyone talking about him as the best welter around, I dont see anyone including as the top 5 in the 147 pound division.
he is. Name me one other fighter who could have beaten the 1973 Frazier as convincingly as Foreman did. Foreman is top 5 head to head
His mid-late 80's title reign alone warrants a place in the bottom half of the Top 10, any lower is a tad harsh I feel (he's not Top 5, though). Tyson also faced and defeated better opposition and top ranked fighters overall than 70's Foreman did (with the exception of Frazier and maybe Lyle).
