Bute, worst hype job of the decade?

[tobias]

No, mate, but top 15 and even now Bute should be listed top 20 P4P. I only think he is closer to Martinez than Chavez. Even though I respect the Mexican.

That's a brave statement and I actually have a modicum of respect for you for coming on and saying it.

About 20 places wide of the mark for me though,but it's all about opinions and yours is as valid as mine.

But he has accomplished so much more than any of the names discussed here that to mention him here shows how dumb one is.

Rubbish, Chad Dawson was never CONSENSUS P4P, only in the ring magazine. He robbed Glen Johnson (who loses to EVERYBODY) got beat up by Jean Pascal and got KTFO by Ward - all in his prime.

I think Bute would beat Dawson with fair judging.

And this is coming from someone who was a fan of Bad Chad.

Khan should be anywhere near this list.

Hes beaten legitimate fighters,and is still a top ranked fighter who could easily avenge his recent losses.

And still, there were people here claiming him to be the best of the division when Kessler,Froch,Ward and Dirrell were all rumbling in a tournament for all the marbles.

Call it hype, call it bias, call it plain nuthuggery, but it was some of the worst baseless nuthuggery I have ever come across on this forum. Now I understand why people wouldn't want to call a champion a hypejob, but due to all the exterior farces, he was to an extent, a HYPEJOB.

I couldn't agree more

TBH , now I'm not interested about the Froch rematch and I don't care if Bute would be beaten by Froch 10/10 , I really don't give a shit. What I really want to see is if Bute fights with Bika , beat him , take the WBC strap , will Ward ( the emeritus WBC champ ) fight him / Bute ?:think

People forget that Bute was willing to travel in Oakland to fight with Ward but Ward wasn't agree ! In Oakland / in Ward's home turf !

Bute doesn't have shit I've said this before if Bute ever fights Ward, Ward will beat Bute worse than PBF beat Gatti. It will be a complete and utter demolition job. Bute is arguably the biggest hypejob of this era. Me and a few others said as soon as he stepped up he would get exposed and he did in grand fashion.

Dawson and Hatton hype jobs?
The world's gone mad.

Who in their right mind would see Hatton as anything other than a guy who overachieved given his somewhat limited ability?

God help us.

At this rate,Oscar should get a mention soon and Feroz must have a chance.
