    If anyone loses a fight, they're automatically a hype job.

    Hype jobs are guys who are severely hyped until their 1st loss, fall apart at the seems and never live up to their original promise thus making all who supported them look stupid. Guys like Fransisco Bojado are hype jobs. Likewise on Audley Harrison and Dominick Guinn. The fact that there are names like Miguel Cotto, Nas Hamed, Chad Dawson and even Sam Peter on the list show that we're not quit getting what a hype job is.

    Dawson is undefeated with a good resume and all sorts of promise. Nas Hamed was one of the most exciting talents of the 90s. Miguel Cotto has a tremendous resume and is coming off his 1st loss. Sam Peter isn't a hype job because he's not all that talented..and furthermore his losses are to the top 2 HWs in the division.

    Hell no. Lacy was a beast. Calzaghe's great boxing ability was simply too much for him. However, Lacy now gets a bad wrap because of his horrible shoulder injury that he sustained in the bout AFTER Calzaghe. Lacy has never been the same since he suffered that full thickness tear.

    This is extremely easy.

    1. Miguel Cotto ( Has Proved Nothing)
    2. Zab Judah ( All the talent in the world, No heart)
    3. Kelly Pavlik ( No Skills)
    4. Antonio Tarver ( No more excuses)
    5. Chad Johnson ( Nothing Special)

    Cotto: Two division world titlist who beat Malinagi, Judah, and Mosely.

    Zab Judah: Two division world titlist with victories over Rivera, Corely, Spinks, and Witter.

    Pavlik: One of only 4 men to win the true middleweight championship while still undeafeted. Solid resume for a 26 year old kid. Beat the man who dethroned Hopkins, not once, but twice.

    I do not know who the **** Chad Johnson is, but if you're talking about Chad Dawson, he's a 26 year old kid who already has two wrold titles and wins over Tarver, Glen Johnson, and Adamek.

    In closing, please allow me to be the first to say: Shut The **** Up NOOB!

    Andre Berto
    Kelly Pavlik
    Chad Dawson

    Anyone see the connection, yes they are all American. With Jones, Hopkins, De La Hoya, Mosley coming toward the end of there careers and Floyd retired (????). They are clutching at straws for the next big thing. To me they are good fighters but not much more than that. If they were European do you think they would be as highly thought of ?
