    I think James Kirkland more so than some on this list.
    For obvious reasons.

    My vote went to Amir Khan, Berto being real close as well. Not saying that Khan or Berto are not not good fighters, but I felt and feel the way the media was portraying these two good guys as being the next boxing star as a Floyd or Manny was just a bit much. Berto and Khan will always be in great and competitive fights, but not invisible and pretty much be involve in a fight were they could be in the losing end.

    OK C'mon explain why you name Antonio Margarito?? How was he hyped? The uneducated were calling him " The Statue" saying Cotto would destroy him LOL Tony made Cotto kneel in surrender LEGITIMATELY!!! & would have repeated in the rematch , depite having only one good eye. The crooked NY doc saved Cotto from the humiliation of capitulating again.
    The only person to LEGITIMATELY beat Tony was Manny Paquaio, who at the time was P4P #1 Shane Mosely was almost certainly roided to the gills like he was against Oscar so that doesn't count
    Your idol Floyd turned down $8mil to fight Tony but instead took Baldomir for less $$$$$ even tho Floyd often states he's only in it for the $$$$$$$$$$ He was scared to face Tony he knew his 0 was in dire danger
    Tony is hardly a hype job when you look at it realistically is he????:good

    "Most feared man since Hagler". :lol: Wasn't he caught loading up with mini-statues only to call out smaller opponents and display mediocre boxing ability at best?

    He still beat Valuev for the WBA title and beat the likes of Ruiz, Barrett, Maccarinelli and Mormeck. Didn't he travel to France, despite the controversies there, to beat Mormeck? Didn't he travel to Germany, despite the endless gift decisions, and beat Valuev? A fraud can't and wouldn't do that. I highly recommend that you look at it entirely, not based off one fight which had a lot of hype. Haye isn't the first to talk smack to hype a fight and maximize profit. If I'm being delusional then you're being stupid.

    He still won the WBA title to make the Wladimir fight more interesting and not fully based off trash talking.

    David Price. I like the guy. He's a really nice person. But he just doesn't have imo the capability to become a world champion. Yeah Thompson is underrated, but he was tipped to go the whole way and to see him lose to Thompson in that manner was a huge disappointment, given how the majority of people though he was the person to beat the Klitschko's.

    Your name seems familiar. Did I rip you to pieces in some previous discussion and you're still carrying the anal injuries as if it happened an hour ago?
