    I suppose you could say that. Good fighter, though: **** of a person. His power certainly isn't overrated, though: it's right there on the top shelf. :good

    I've never seen a fighter who is both so overrated and underrated as Mike Tyson is.

    It's a little hard to gauge who is underrated and overrated since it all depends on whom is doing the rating, so I'll try to emphasize whom is doing the ratings for the most part.

    Overrated: Aaron Pryor. Historically overrated on all-time lists, by magazines such as The Ring, and message board people who watch Legendary Nights.

    Overrated: Shane Mosley at lightweight. More so by people on the internet. A force head-to-head, but his opposition and achievements at the weight are rather limited for all the praise he tends to get, and for his remarkable talent level.

    Underrated: Lloyd Marshall. This guy is not in the Hall of Fame.

    Underrated: Eddie Booker. Refer to Marshall.
