    Hyejobs are :

    Kelly Pavlik winning by KO over Bernard Hopkins

    Antonio Margarito being the most avoided fighter in boxing

    Ranking Jeff Lacy in the top 10 p4p had he beaten Calzaghe when prior no one had him in their top 20


    Bam Bam is none of those things ..He's a blood and guts warrior that's fan friendly who happens to be the WBA Champ !

    If you are not slick, you are an overrated hype job.

    When another good fighter like Rios comes along, expect another thread like this. Just erase the name above and replace with new name. :roll:

    Anthony ? He sure is, though not quite the perfect example of a 'boxer' unlike his older brother Lamont. His style was just taylor made for Rios actually.

    Freddy my man you, of all of ESB members, know pretty damn well the physical/athletic side of a fighter don't suffice to skyrocket him to the top. How many great prospects like Perterson have we seen before ? Some made it after a good loss (and after a long soul-searching) and many didn't cause they didn't have the heart.
    "were supposed to be the great next thing" but hey let's give 'em some time they are just at the beginning, those kids still have a lot to accomplish if they can put it back together after their losses to Rios and Bradley.
    That being said, Anthony doesn't seem quite energized to get back into the ring yet since he didn't fight after his loss to Brandon Rios.

    Personally I find Bam Bam to be one of the most exciting fighters out there. He has good knockout power in either hand, throws short compact punches, has a good chin and is still developing as a fighter. I don't think he is overrated at all.
