    I really think this is art some fighters who may not be of level based on the achievements to land a big fight somehow manage to trick the fans into believing they are a good challenger to the champion..................

    i will start of with one

    David Haye

    yes the guy was quite good at cruiser weight but his heavyweight conquests have not been impressive he really for me never done enough to warrant him getting a 50/50 with Wlad....................

    any others?

    Camacho talked himself into the Oscar fight too.

    The best/worst example hasn't actually happened - but Briggs is doing his utmost to goad Wlad into fighting him.

    Rober Guerrero.
    Amir Khan is trying the same thing. He has actually tried for a long time now. I think he shut his yap after Garcia took him apart but right after Molina, he was back at it again.

    How many times has Zab Judah beat some bum and suddenly fans believed he had 'matured and reached his potential' only to lose the following big fight?
