I'm not sure what you meant with the years. Does this mean how he was rated at that time or how we rate him now as to how good he was at the time?
Anyway here it goes.
1- Roy Jones in 2007 Just right, I think most agree he probably will never be a wourld champion again and if he does win a title it won't be for long.
2- Mike Tyson from 1990 to 1996 Wasn't he in jail most of this time? Anyway, post jail Tyson was way overrated. He was never back. Pre Jail Tyson might be slightly overrated but that is only because he was thought of as a boxing god by some.
3- Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2007 I think many underrate him and the rest blatenly overrate him. He is the best fighter of his era and an all time great. He is NOT unbeatable and he will find his match soon if he stays at WW.
4- Pernell Whitaker (career) Like Larry Holmes, he was underrated at the time but now as time has passed most are rating him just right.
5- Arturo Gatti (career) Just right. No one thinks he is an ATG. Most know he is just a very exiting fighter.
6- Ricky Hatton in 2007 Just right, I don't believe he will have much success if he goes up in weigh though.
7- Oscar DeLaHoya (career) This is a tough one. Some overrate him some underrate him but in general, just right.
8- Bernard Hopkins (career) Just right.
9- Antonio Margarito (career) Slightly overrated a few months ago. Very much underrated now. Williams fought a hell of a fight and Margarito is still a hell of a fighter.
10- Felix Trinidad in 2007 This is a hard one for me personally. He is my fav fighter. Half of me thinks he can beat Jones and the other half sais that it's just wishfull thinking. But I firmly believe it will be a good entertaining fight. Still I think he is slightly overrated as to his abilities now. I do think he is sometimes judged too harshly for his two losses. I can't stand when people say anybody with a jab and some boxing skill would beat him. The man has 42 wins, do you think all of those guys were brawlers. No only the best boxers could beat him.
