What is this based off of. Is that just some type of character flaw based on your opinion?
Everybody knows Tyson was a wash after that 3 year stint in jail.
Is Marciano the most overrated heavy weight boxer alltime?

In the cut
Tyson at his best(18-19 years old only sadly enough) is a top 5 heavy all time but in terms of his overall career hes prolly 10-20.
Marciano mos def the most overrated! He was a mob fighter, who knows how many of his opponents took a dive to avoid getting they kneecaps broken and he prolly loaded his gloves too amongst other cheap sh!t

Exactly. With Tyson, everyone plays the "what if" game instead of looking at his actual body of work.
he quit against Holyfield twice, gave up and got KO'd by Buster Douglas, and I won't mention the farces he put forth after Lewis.
You really think they gonna let Tyson rush them? They have jabs that hurt and keep that at a distance.
Although I should clarify myself, I think they would beat Tyson but I would have Tyson over those two in the ATG rankings.

Dope post. Him beating every fighter off fear is a myth.
, Pinklon Thomas, James Tillis, Mitch Green, Bonecrusher Smith...they werent shook and Mike still handled business. Some taller ones gave prime and focused Mike problems, but nothing significant to the point that victory was ever in doubt

This is bullshyt that's constantly regurgitated. Who were all these fighters that were willing to stand up to him and made him fold? There was a decent amount of fights in his career where the guy he was fighting came straight at him. From what I remember Ruddock was a great example of that. Where was Tyson folding then?

RIP Champ
Forget heavyweight, Marciano is the most overrated boxer of all time...
The only prime great champ Marciano ever fought was Ezzard Charles who got blatantly robbed the first time around...Charles busted Marciano up and had him leaking so bad they had to stuff gauze in his nose...That shyt was unheard of even back then...Marciano was only allowed to continue because of his mob connection...Those gwops weren't going to lose money over a fukkin nosebleed...
He also blatantly ducked a young Sonny Liston who would have obliterated that nikka...It was ok for Marciano to make a HOF career out of fighting old dudes forced out of retirement but when he was on the wrong side of 30 he wanted no part of a young cat like Liston and quickly retired...It's also worth noting Liston was a green HW and Marciano was still petrified of him...

Pretty much, but yea, Marciano may very well be the most overrated Heavyweight of all time.
To be fair a lot of fighters from that day and age are overrated like a muhfukker. Them oldheads be on that
Like Willie Pep winning a round without throwing a punch

Can someone remind me of who the klitschkos have beaten and what those opponents have accomplished?
Marciano is overrated simply because he is white and retired undefeated. It's pretty much that simple. Rocky was maybe 190 pounds soaking wet. What would he be able to do with a prime Tyson, Ali, Frazier, Foreman etc. Nothing but be like Jerry Quarry and the rest of the great white hypes. But i tell u two heavyweights that will be underrated because of competion but would give and probably beat a great deal of the great hevyweights. And that's the two Klitscho brothers. Those boys are huge and can actually box with an awkard style. Everyone thinks Vlad is better but Vitali has never been knocked out and is more of a fighter to me. It's a reason why Lennox didn't want to step back in the ring with that man.
