Considering how he is rated in most boxing experts top heavies, I wouldn't say he is overrated. Most have him in their top 15, or top 10.. Very few seem to have him in their top five, because of competition. Which can be debated, and people can argue that he fought guys past their prime, or they were cans of corn. With that said, noone at heavyweight has equaled his record yet. Not even the "king of fighting cans of corn"-Valuev. Still Rocky doesn't rate in alot of top fives. Also because of pure boxing skill. I don't consider him the best heavy, but I will give him his credit, because even if it's padded, it takes a beast to go undefeated, regardless of competition. And, the big three that everyone says was past their prime(totally agree), would have still whipped an average, to an above average fighter.

Cons-Not the greatest comp, or skills......Pros-Great chin, heart,power, and did go undefeated= top 10 for sure, probably top five. IMO, I feel he is judged fairly. Can't call him a bum, that's for sure.
