Who was/is the biggest hype job in boxing history?

Your boxing ignorance is reflected in your comments.

 

Broner has (paper) titles in different weight classes, he even defended some of them. Yet he is a hypejob. Amazing isn't it?

 

You are literally the first person ever............"ever" that I've heard say Tarver beat Chad Dawson.

Some of these responses are terrible............

Baby Joe Mesi was the poster child for "hype job".

 

In recent years to me it was broner because people were hyping him as the next floyd

 

Smokin' Dustin Nichols after boozka check jabbed KD Wilder, fans were raging online for a bit. Dont know where Nichols went wrong he should at least be a World Title Contender.

 

naseem hamed comes to mind!

 

Whether you agree or not is almost irrelevant. Dawson was a complete myth and hype job. That's irrefutable.

 

Taishon Dong has to be in the top-ten.

Also Charles Martin.

 

Yes, Naseem Hamed dominated the Featherweight division for six years, winning WBO, WBC and IBF belts. He was a hypejob, for sure

 

Broner has won titles at three or four different weights, and has lost some fights on points, on competitive fights, against high-ranked boxers....

IMHO that's not being a hypejob. Press always tends to look for the next Ali or the next Mayweather. To fall short "only" winning four or five title fights and losing decisions against top-ranked opponents is far away from being a hype job.

David Price was a hype job, Felix Verdejo looks like a hype job, etc I might have a wrong idea about what "hype job" means.

 

Your opinion has no credibility because it goes against
what damn near everyone considers a universal truth.
Chad was recognized by "every" organization, boxing journalist and
his own boxing peers as either "the" top guy or a top 5 guy
at LHW from basically 2006 up until his loss against Adonis.
But "you" say he's a myth so that makes him one?
I believe I just refuted your claim of irrefutable.

Just say you didn't like Chad and move on.

 

I see alot of names on here but NO ONE comes close to VICTOR ORTIZ.
First real first and he quits on national tv and has no shame about it.

HYPE JOB at its best.

 

Jeff Lacy.

End the thread now.

 

I never liked him. And I was right! Top 5 fighters dont struggle with Tarver and Johnson and get beat by Pascal. You clearly drunk the Dawson Cool Aid. You were wrong and I was right. You shoud congratulate me. No joke, say thank you now.

 

He won a belt in FOTY after that and Maidana turned out to be better than everyone thought.
