    I know he was a good amateur but would David Reid meet the requirements ?

    I think Jermain Taylor was one of the biggest hype jobs since grant. He never shouldve got the nod against Hopkins the first time. And only beat the hatian sensation convincingly. Deserving L's to Wink, Spinks, and going the distance with Ouma who can be KO'ed when pressed especially by someone so much bigger.

    You can't completely destroy someone that wins 5 rounds off of you.

    Paul Williams - Margarito close, Quintana schooled, Martinez I lost, Martinez II destroyed, Lara schooled. People were saying that everyone between 147-175 were avoiding him and picking him to beat Kessler and Froch. Biggest hypejob in the modern era.

    Cloud - Campillo exposed him

    Alexander - Kotelnyk outclassed him, Bradley debacle, Matthysse beat him

    Berto

    Oganov

    Mitchell shall be the next

    They didnt hype Arreola. They said he was tough and always came to fight which is true.
    You're getting it confused. Simply airing a fight doesn't mean it is hyped.
