Yes, he fought much better fighters I agree. However he thought to be at least competetive to some level. Many people thought that he can beat either Pac or PBF. He not only lost to both of them, but was dominated, outclassed and finally brutally KOd.

Theres nothing to blame a fighter to lose, at least he took a risk. :good

Margarito was massively overrated before being exposed by Mosley and found cheating.

Pascal got schooled twice by a 46yo fighter, who could have been his father. Again, there is nothing wrong in the loss to Hopkins, but if you cant beat a 46yo fighter when being in your prime and having the home advantage, then you arent any special.

Look at the poll results. He is nowhere near to be a hypejob, my firend:smoke

The poll is so one sided that any result other than Klitschko by wide decision or KO will be a surprise

Kelly Pavlik.

Made the bigtime and then failed woefully against Hopkins.

Since that loss he's looked nothing like the fighter he apparently was, but when you look back at what he actually did, it's apparent there was a lot of hype and not a lot of substance surrounding him:

A TKO win over Edison Miranda, who was a feared puncher at the time - Miranda had previously only lost 1 fight against Abraham, but when you saw his performances (including another 3 losses) since fighting Pavlik, it became apparent he was nothing more than a slugger who had made his name from a series of KO wins over lower tier opponents.

A KO win against Jermaine Taylor (after nearly being KO'd himself in the 2nd round) - this really was a case of a lucky punch winning the fight for him. The rematch against a gunshy Taylor went the distance, and Taylor's performances since have been very ordinary, including 2 KO losses.

A keep busy fight against Lockett that he won by KO as expected.

Picked apart by Hopkins.

Pavlik is a solid boxer with a good punch, but nowhere near the level that he was being hyped up to be.

Pavlik played a big role in damaging Miranda and Jermain Taylor. Those guys haven't had chins or confidence since, despite having plenty before meeting him. Give credit where it's due.

I think Ward has become a hype ON ESB, not in general, he gets so much nut hugging on here its unreal, to the point where he will 'KO Froch'.

Ward hasn't lost a fight since like age 13. He's the real deal.

Michael Grant and Francisco Bojado are the ones that immediately come to mind
