Re: Most Overrated/Underrated People In History
[QUOTE=InspiredLebowski]Denzel, while a very good actor, is a bit overrated. He's falling into the Pacino niche of basically playing the same character over and over.[/QUOTE]This is true IMO. He is one of my favorites though. He did do a different style of acting in 'Manchurian Candidate' than his normal stuff but they weren't extremely shocking performances. Don Cheadle is a better performer IMO and is underrated.
Now, Gary Oldman is a shocking performer and very underrated. :bowdown:
Also, I never hear any praise for Sean Penn's performance in 'The Assassination of Richard Nixon'. Unbelievable!

Re: Most Overrated/Underrated People In History
Mike Tyson is the most overrated athlete in history. People still buy into the myth of a guy who dominated a severely weak division. He was exposed time and again, but people want so badly to believe he was unbeatable at 19...
IMO, no one comes close to the overrated-ness of Tyson... at least, not in sports.

Truth is he was just dominating a severely weak division of average swimmers.

[QUOTE=LJJ]I can tell you. It's because Ali's GOAT status is all marketing. He wasn't even better than Frazier.[/QUOTE]
:roll: Ali marketed himself.... And he rhymed, he joked, he made a show out of the pre-fight hype... and he was an entertainer in the ring.. the best ever
to top it off he stood up against the war and was even stripped of his title. He did it on principle....
ali is not Overrated
