Tyson IS the most over-rated heavy-weight of all time.
Someone has posted his fight record and there is not one fighter over any note who he has beat unless you count victories of muppets like Frank Bruno which is what Tyson's reputation was built on...
The only decent fighters Tyson has fought, smashed him up - simple as...

Tyson has never beaten any fighter who could be considered even in the top-25 all-time heavy-weights and that validates he IS the most over-rated heavy-weight of all time and therefore you are a thick imbecile who has proved yourself to know absolutely nothing about boxing and shouldn't post on this thread for that very reason.

You are the don of boxing I suppose Sport is all about opinion. The issue of Mike Tyson beating somebody he never fought is purely hypothetical, you don't know for sure if Foreman would've beaten him and neither do I. That doesn't mean to say that either of us is a 'thick imbecile' who 'knows absolutely nothing about boxing'.
Your post above however does catagorically prove you are a knob  |

This website goes someway to prove my point. The compiler of this list has Tyson above the likes of Rocky Marciano who remains the only heavyweight champion to retire with an undeated record, which included 43 KO in 49 fights!! Many people's number 1 choice is also not so on this list......

and if you think that tyson is the most over-rated heavyweight of all time then your the one that knows absoluetly feck all about boxing....
as you seem to be the world authority on boxers and obviously are a boxing fan then why the disrespect for tyson?? when he was a mere 20yrs of age and destroyed berbick to win the title did you think he was "over-rated" or fighting a nobody as you seem to think he did all his career??
tyson is more over-rated than:
max bear
carnera
schmeling
johansson
leon spinks
tate
weaver
dokes
coetzee
witherspoon
thomas
page
tubbs
smith
moorer
mercer
etc etc etc????? |

How?? Tyson didn't beat one elite heavyweight in his prime (which was only about 2 years anyway). And when he did fight elite competition, he got his backside handed to him. |
