What is the most overrated record in any sport?

[Dr. Jack]

Some people say it's - Most consecutive games played: Cal Ripken, 2,632

I personally think that's an amazing accomplishment

Any thoughts?

Rocky Marciano undefeated record as Heavyweight champion...

This was the weakest time period in a long time in the Heavyweight division...

He was a great fighter but he would have been destroyed by anyone from Liston on..

There were threads in this forum when it was said. I can’t recall exactly but hopefully we’ll find out soon

[smitch124]

An amazing thing about Ripken's streak, if I'm not mistaken, is that for a vast majority of it, I don't believe he even missed an inning...

[be47320]

I don't really want to argue, but was a different time with a smaller talent pool than today as well...
