    Jermain Taylor only losing to Pavlik regardless of other "descisions" does not make him a hype job

    Agree, disagree, who should come off the list?

    Probably Kermit Cintron should be added as well.

    I understand that but they wanted us to beleive that he was the second coming of Hopkins which he is not, and they gave him a bunch of gift decisions, therefore he was hyped.

    see Wright, Spinks and Hopkins fights as proof.

    Have they really hyped Arreola that much? :huh

    otherwise that is a damn good list. I would also add Roy Jones Jr. on there as they let him fight BS mandatory after mandatory against bums. At least when his Glass Jaw was exposed they dropped him.

    Prince Naseem Hamed was not a hype job. His achivements speak for themselves.

    FMJr never got any gift decisions, maybe the first Castillo fight but that is arguable.

    and the guy is really, really good.

    he did a pretty good job of over-hyping hymself.

    saying that he was better than ali and robinson.
