    It depends on what level , to some extent Haye and Hatton are because they called out the absolute best and were well short. This doesnt make them bad fighters .

    A couple that haven't been mentioned yet

    Chavez Jr, Juanma, G.segura and Helenius

    I also still scratching my head, trying to figure out why some people think Canelo can beat both Mayweather and Martinez and is this unstoppable monster

    What fight of his made you come to those conclusions?

    Sam Peter
    Edison Miranda
    Rocky Juarez
    David Haye
    James Kirkland

    Honorable mention to Pac and May of course, who largely ain't worthy of the status they've had for the last 5 yrs, which is based mostly on **** they did yrs ago.

    A lot of the posts here just shows the intelligence of half of the idiots on ESB.

    Most of them are guys that have just lost, but at the same time had huge wins. Biggest hypejobs in the past 5 years? **** right off.

    There are brits who think David Haye isn't a hype job.

    That about sums up their collective boxing knowledge.

    Haye was self proclaimed hype job,
    I would add Bute, Darchinyan, Kameda, Lineares, Juan Manuel Lopez, Guzman

    Juan Diaz
    Antonio Margarito
    Miguel Cotto - not really hype job but because everyone thinks this guy is instant HOF, he's in the hype category
    JuanMa Lopez
    Lucian Bute

    He may have generated a lot of his own hype but regardless of that the brittards still ate his **** up. Hype is hype, and the betting odds don't lie.

    Not sure how Haye can be a hype job when he won English, IBO, European, WBC, WBA, WBO, Ring CW titles and the WBA HW title all within 24 fights.
