He's overrated in that, everybody says he's underrated.

Hall of Fame credentials, yes. 1st Ballot? Helll no! You gotta be kidding me.

An "O" with no real bad*ss fighter on his resume. haha

Doesn't impress me. Just another man who displays skills... and there are plenty of them.

A real 1st Ballot goes balls out and risks his "O" with BIG fights... and almost all the time, it doesn't look pretty, because your actually fighting someone worth fighting for.
I disagree. It's not right to punish somebody by history. Like Bert Sugar said. People have the wrong idea of what makes a fighter great and punishes them by history. Just because you don't see an all time great on his list doesn't mean he fougth everyone that those weight classes had to offer. And if you dominate an entire division for over 10 years then it doesn't matter if you have that one GREAT fight.. just because nobody came along to truly challenge you doesn't make you any less great.

So don't punish a fighter by history. You can if you can name 5 great fighters he should have fought and didn't.
