Who In Your Opinion Is The Most Overrated ATG?

And you know what else? Palomino's mustache shits all over Spinks' mustache any day.

Palomino?>>>>>>>>>Spinks.

 

The balance tipped in the other direction for him a while ago, i tend to think.

I'm also slightly less of a fan of his tepid fights with an aging, uninspired Holmes than most(especially as he LOST the second), worthy accomplishment though the first was.Give me Charles vs Marciano anyday.

 

Winona Ryder :stir

 

Morales
MAB
Pac
JMM
Buchanan
Jeff Chandler
Azumah Nelson above 126
Manuel Ortiz

 

Worthy accomplishment.

You are tending to think wrong, Lora.

Maybe...

:good

Thats funny cause i think Ortiz,Chandler,JMM are underrated. Buchanan and Nelson at 130 maybe just a tad overrated. Morales,MAB,PAC are rated fairly IMO.

 

On a head to head basis...

Hopkins at MW

Liston

Ali - who, incidentally enough, I have rated one or two at the weight depending on the day. I just think people go overboard with how unbeatable he was...which is ironic considering how many of the same guys get pissed at old timers like Burt Sugar for hyping Dempsey as being unbeatable. Same ****, different day.

 

Gene Tunney at HW
Mike Tyson
Fitzsimmons at HW
Julio Cesar Chavez
Max Schmeling
Bob Foster
Naseem Hamed
Muhammad Ali in p4p ranks

 

I also find JMM underrated. Great strength, great ring IQ, one of the best uppercuts in the business, chin and recuperative abilities are also elite. A lot of will. I think he and his people's management skills are as much to blame as anything with the underrating. ...Also, ****ing JUDGES! ...****ing judges...:twisted:...grumble....

 

Hey now! Who are we to question the wisdom of a management team that sends their man to Indonesia to defend his title for $30,000?

 

A good majority of people on ESB rate Marquez higher than both Barrera and Morales. Epic fail, unfortunately. :verysad

 

The most overrated tend to be current fighters and the recently retired. i.e. those people can still make money out of.

In my tme watching boxing I'd say it's Roy Jones and Mike Tyson.

That's not to say they weren't great fighters just that they are not as good as people claim.

 

I wouldn't condone rating him higher than Barrera or Morales. But because he doesn't have the accomplishments and resume of wins to go over those guys. However, I do see him as on the same level in a h2h sense, at least.

Edit: Oh, I see no rebuttal about Spinks' mustache. Guess he's not the ATG you thought he was, after all, ey?
