Biggest Hype train derailed in the last year?

I heard plenty of excuses after his loss to Bernard. He attributed it to everything except Hopkins' superior skill, and even went as far as to say that he didn't think Hopkins was crafty.

The man was taken to school from start to finish. Weight and strength had nothing to do with it as far as I'm concerned. Like I said, these guys are basically the same size, and the glaring difference in this fight was Hopkins skill and speed.

For the record I never said he was a 'hype train'. You said he lost because he was uncomfortable at the weight and I completely disagree.

 

I read a little survey on the ESPN site that claimed the average boxing fan has an IQ of only 95; well below average. The existance of this thread proves the survey was right.

 

Agree on that! i noticed he always had/have a small group of hardcore fans.. and other brits didn`t really believe he would be more than hype!

Khan we knew had no chin. The others on that list have proved themselves already, you can't be overrated when you are/were a world champ.

Has to be Pavlik for me, i distinctly recall many people on here saying he was going to be the man to finish Bernard Hopkins. As for Khan, we all knew he had no chin, for Cotto, he was a proven fighter beaten in a tough gruelling contest and for Margo, again everyone knew his limitations and his hype was base around his toughness which has hardly been derailed. For me he's still one of the toughest men on this earth.

 

KELLY PAVLIK!

That guy had the stupidest following now i cant find a Pavlik fan for the life of me.

 

Why are people picking Khan when no one believed that he was that good even 90% of the folks in the UK thought he was going to get exposed.

 

PAvlik .. dear me what they used to say he was going to do.. nothing like that anymore. Now he fights nobodies and is avoiding AA

 

Do you get an erection every time you call people you don't know names? You do it with everyone who disagrees with you, what's your ****ing problem? I bet your favourite song is "Antisocial" by Anthrax. :-(

It's obvious you started that thread hoping that someone would say "Cotto did more damage than Mosley", but you saw what people responded and you decided to shut up, so you wouldn't look like a fool. Anyways, to answer your question, if you had read the thread you would know my pick here is definitely Khan.

 

Fair enough.

I still think weight was a factor (of course it wasn't the main reason he lost), so I guess we'll have agree to disagree on this one. I hear your point, though.
