    Hatton: Real deal.
    Cotto: Real deal.
    Rockgloves: Hype job.
    Berto: Has ability, but has been carefully guided and was fortunate to not have to fight Mosley.
    Angulo: Decent.
    Alvarez: Good ability, not "there" yet.
    Cintron: Hype job. Bad mentally.
    Pavlik: Real deal.
    Pacquiao: All-time elite.
    Floyd: All-time elite.
    Kirkland: The book's not out on him yet. Questionable defense.
    Chavez Jr.: Hype job.
    Bradley: Real deal.
    Khan: Hype job. Until he fights a live body with a punch, he'll remain that way. Incredibly carefully managed since getting shattered all over the canvas.
    Lopez: Hype job. Decent.
    Gamboa: Real deal. Terrible defense.

    I see a pattern here...

    How is Angulo the "real deal" when he was beaten by the guy you called a hype job? Than as much as Alvarez gets hit to be a pure boxer? Khan is the real deal, but never avenged his KO? Come on man.

    I agree with some of them, but you seemed pretty biased.

    Cintron beat Angulo. Yet he is the real deal and Cintron is a hype job. Hatton is a hype job but he went a long way and only lost to FLoyd and PAc, yet Cotto is the real deal. Berto is a hype job who lost by a few points to Ortiz but again.. Angulo is not a hype job despite losing to Cintron. hmmm. And Khan who got KTFO by Presscot... he is the real deal.

    On this forum, anyone who loses a fight, especially if they are blown out or something is a hype job.

    Its an old thread................i will m make a new one with the exact same fighters and list the strengths of my "real deals" and explain the flaws of the"hype jobs" .....again, I don't feel their hype jobs just flaws that can be fixed with the right attitude and training.

    There are people on this forum who if Floyd Mayweather jr, with all that he has accomplished, loses he would be labeled a fraud and hype job.

    haha I know....... And those people think he had only fight in the welter division, completely disregarding the rest of his career... I was a floyd hater myself but it was just based on bull**** and I didn't want to see the talent attributes and facts to state an honest opinion.

    :lol::lol: I love that comment on Kermit the Frog ........ I have had the same on ideas on most of these guys too for a while now.. Good call !

    Except for FLoyd..He will beat anyone at 147 or 154. He just has to get off his ass and fight Pac, i blame him May for that but feel he wil beat Pac.

    As for Margarito i feel the handwrap deal is overblown .. Been watching him since he was a prospect, and his punches have always had that affect on opponents and i highly doubt he was packing since he was 18.. Even his sparrng partners say he is a big puncher.
