Who In Your Opinion Is The Most Overrated ATG?

You didnt answer my question how would Kostya's face hold up under Chavez accurate power shots?

 

1. Jack Dempsey: Does not belong in the top 10 ATG HW list nor does he belong in the top 20 p4p list. Though he's a stellar fighter and great champ his resume is thin and he unrefined. I also think he fought down to his level of competition. Also just because I think he's overrated it doesnt mean that I don't think he's great. He's a great fighter for sure but not as great as some people make him out to be.

 

I think that the number of mentions for Jack Dempsey in this thread suggests that he is somewhat under-rated on this site.

 

Marciano

 

Jack Dempsey
Aaron Pryor

 

do you think pryor used drugs in the arguello fights?

 

No doubt about itatsch
It was caught on tape how much more evidence does one need?

Pryor was walking to the wrong coner at the end of the round after a big shot from Arguello, the he comes out in the 14th like it was the 1st.

 

Imo he did, certainly in the first fight. Just my personal feeling. Thing is i am not hitting him on that point, i just think he gets too much milage out of Arguello. Great win etc but the way people hold him up you'd think he was some sort of monster. He's a great, no doubt, but substancially less so than so many think imho.

 

I kind of did. I dont think Chavez would do the damage you think to Tsyzu at that weight. Tsyzu was an underated boxer. He had a good jab and moved in and out of range pretty well. That combined with the size advantage which is the biggest factor in making that all work in this fight keeps Tsyzu out of harms way and in control. Just too big.

 

Yeah i agree, he established he was probably a great with his displays in those fights, but didn't really do a thing to consolidate on it afterward.

 

Roy Jones Jnr - never really tested himself against the best available competition despite his obvious talent.

Ray Robinson........Just kidding

 

Nope. That he is rightfully rated on this site.

 

Made a mistake. - Will be edited with relevant point if not deleted.

 

ESB goes through its cycles.

Back in 04 when I joined this site, Lennox Lewis would never find himself on the top half of a top 10 list now he seems to be moving up steady.

I personally like Dempsey and would have been a huge Dempsey fan had I been around during his day but I can't place him above figthers who I feel are more deserving.

He's certainly underrated by some (unfortunately) but he is still by and large an overrated ATG.
