Who is the most overated athlete of all time?

This post is obviously inspired by another thread, but I figured it was an interesting question all on its own.

I'll agree that tyson has to be way up there. Bill Walton immediately comes to my mind. who else??

I don't get it. If it's a joke, well, it wasn't funny.

If it's not, well, you're wrong.

Sorry, not trying to be a dick.

Your response was the first to make me laugh.
Congratulations, you win!

PS- Yes, it was a joke.
I thought a comment like that would get some fairly interesting responses. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'll go with Tyson. I don't think his accomplishments hold up anymore. A classic example of myth over reality.

Walton is probably overrated but at the same time he won and was good.

While someone like Ruth may not be able to compete in today's game he still accomplished feats that held up long after he did.

Tyson never beat any heavyweights who are even considered good when looking back let alone great.

Tyson was overrated, but Marciano is way more overrated.
