Was Tyson The Most Overrated Ever?

Bro do you see the bums he fights Lepai is a horrible fighter

Im done talking to you like Roger said most people dont know **** about boxing

 

He had a very short time as champ, beat no one who can be considered great, and avoided countless good fighters in his day.

Mike was a bum.

 

over rated after jail / under rated before jail

 

Please don't use logic. He won't be able to sleep tonite
because of your disturbing comment. Hate is good.

 

Over rated are u tucking serious who makes these threads

 

Problem is.....THAT JAB

 

he is up there on the biggest waste of natural talent but he is not overated

 

This ^^

 

:twisted::twisted:

drugs got to mike the most. cocain , weed , drinks , even crack cocain :-(
thats bad, if cus was around him another 10 yrs or even 5 it would have made a hellva difference in mikes career to me.

 

I don't think Tyson is overrated at all.

For me his fall from the top of the pile was due to his change in style following the split from Kevin Rooney. If you watch his career from the start up to the Spinks fight (under Cus (until his death) and Rooney thereafter) and compare it to his next fights against Bruno 1, Williams and then Douglas his style almost completely changes.

It's hard to imagine how he could forget everything he was taught under Cus and Rooney but he changed from the peek-a-boo bob and weave to a straight up more conventional stance under Snowell and others to follow.

For me up to the Spinks fight he had the speed, power, combinations, ring smarts etc to give any Heavyweight in history at least a good run for their money.
