okay - back from pub and drunk but that is when i get my best ideas. the most overrated sportsman is somebody who people think is great but you only think is good etc.

(1) Muhammad Ali - a very good boxer. however some think he was the greatest sportsman ever when all boxing fans know ray robinson was best boxer and I believe joe louis is the best heavyweight

(2) rocky marciano - coincidently also a boxer. retired undefeateed champion but defended against old men like joe louis, jersey joe walcott etc.

(3) david beckham - a good footballer but probably not as good as peter beardsley (no where near barnes) but good looking, married famous women and lived for publicity.

(4) anna kournikova - media made out she was really good, not quite steffi graff but still very good. reality, she was just a working professional standard (think the brother of andrew murray, professional level but no more).

Ibrahimovich - highest paid player in the world, and I have yet to see him have a good game against a good team........ flat track bully for me.

I think there are a few managers that are overrated, but I don't suppose they can be classed as sportsmen ?

Amir Kahn, he may well get a world title , but he is not the great fighter everyone was hoping for.

Totti - was great when I used to watch him with Batistuta, never looked anywhere near that level since.

OUCH...

totally disagree with both Ibrahimovic and Totti...

you dont watch much Italian footie besides the champs league games do you

kidding but both have been fantastic for their sides and i'd go as far as saying that there isnt much to chose from between ibrahimovic and Torres today... 2 of the best forwards if not the best 2 in the world...

Totti yea probably faded a little in the last couple of years...mostly down to injury though...

Ali. Great showman Very good boxer. but not "The Greatest"

I don't think there are many people that actually rate David Beckham. I think he has a lot more haters. and nobody claims that kornakova was good, just hot.

I agree. Ibrahimovich is a mixture of the terrible and the sublime, and some of the sublime is just him being speculative most of the time, and getting lucky. He's just bloody awful with some of his decision making on the pitch, and his misses in front of goal deserve him getting a bullet. I mean, a prime example was his miss against the Mancs mid-week. He missed a chance that I'd have scored, and I've a 50p head when it comes to headers at the net. He bags that, and United could well find that their balls drop off and they exit Europe. Primadonna.

As for Khan, disagree with you saying about him getting a world title. You've got to be able to take a dig as well as give one. He can give one, but he's a glass jaw. He'll flop big time.

Vidic - Good player , very strong in the air , but everyone knows if you've got a striker with a bit of pace he's in trouble . No where near paolo maldni , or nesta in his prime even sol campbell

Torvill and Dean. So they were good at ballroom dancing on ice? Who gives a feck? It's hardly sport is it. It's rehearsed theatrical performance, performed on ice, to music. You might as well give an Olympic Gold to the cast of Les Miserables or Starlight Express. I'm not saying they weren't good at it, because they were from what I can gather, but essntially the whole sport is b0ll0cks.

Give em a stick, some padding, two fireguards as goals and a rubber paperweight as a ball and you got yourself a sport. Failing that, tie one arm behind their backs and get them to lean forward at an impossible angle before having a race and it's a sport. At a push, give them a scooter tyre and a sweeping brush apiece and get them to play bowls on ice and it's a sport. Playing Revels Bollero (sounds like a chocolate to me, always has) over the tannoy though and dancing around a bit doesn't qualify. Even if your erse sticks out so much like that Robin Cousins bloke that you could stand your whisky and coke on it, it makes no odds. Not a sport, so therefore overrated as Sporsmen and women in my book.

Thats one of the worst posts ever. Have you seen what they did to win gold? What they acheived?

Out of all the sportsmen/women in the world you go for one of the most faultless events ever competed in teh history of sport.
