Tyson overrated? Yes, probably, but it's not really his fault that the late eighties and early nineties were a wasteland for a champ looking for contenders. The same thing could be said for Larry Holmes, clearly the best fighter of his time, but he lacked somebody to play George Foreman/Joe Frazier to his Ali, or vice versa. When a palooka like Tex Cobb gets a title shot, you know there is a dearth of talent in the ranks.
As for Don King, yes he is a crook, but boxing has been crooked since the days of bare-knuckle fights.
