Biggest Hypejobs of recent years?

Wow, banned before he could finish the post, lol.

 

Indeed, no list of this sort is complete without the biggest hypejob of the lot... Wilder.

Prospects like Anderson... I guess we just don't know yet - could he come back, improve and build up to where some thought he might get?
Dubois was overhyped before the Joyce loss, but was then written off and underrated for a good while until he'd more than proven he belonged in the upper reaches of the division.

 

Yeah. I hate treating prospects like that. Let him develop and see what happens.

 

Joshua the bodybuilding fraud is the biggest hype job in boxing history

 

Agreed

 

Mahmoudov I agree with. People always get overzealous for a powerful guy crushing cans.

I don't recall Frank Sanchez getting much hype at all. He's a reasonably skilled guy who could still have some success.

 

Still had great success and a better resume than Fury though

 

In history?? New are we? Ever heard of Baby Joe Messi?

 

Joe mesi lol, been a while since heard his name.
Used to get serious hype and screen time.
He seemed to me like “the great white hope” of the 90’s

 

Hype is part of boxing.

 

Ben Quitaker is definitely up there.

 

Yep, basically what HBO had hopes for. He wasn't bad by any means, just not the elite HW they pushed for.

 

Berlanga

 

If Itauma loses soon against a gatekeeper he will be up there.

Of recent years? Maybe actually Joe Joyce - he did beat some good fighters but a lot of people thought he was going to beat Usyk and be champion.

Bakole was pretty overhyped as well.
