I don't know guys... Hamed is a HOF'er who beat a bunch of quality guys with only one loss to another HOF'er. Kelly Pavlik is a lanky double-jabber from Ohio who won the Middleweight championship. He clearly overachieved to me. I guess it all comes down to expectations, but I'm really not sure how Prince Naseem could qualify...
I would agree here. Been hyped for years... David Price... So many other HW's fall into this category. People just want there to be a next good HW so badly. Berto is a good shout. Man, who would have guessed going into the 2011 Ortiz fight that his last non-cut-shortened victory in July of 2014 would have already happened. See. I don't know how much further anybody should have really thought Seth was going to go. Linares is a great call. I agree with this on several of the names being mentioned. Since 2005: Moved up to two new divisions, unifying belts and winning the lineal titles... 4 #1 ranked opponents in the division he fought them (JMW: Cotto, Alvarez. WW: Baldomir, Mosley)... In all likelihood 5 Hall of Famers beaten (Oscar, Marquez, Cotto, Mosley, Hatton)... "fought nobody," eh? He had the problem of getting an actually really good mandatory opponent in Gradovich. But yeah. I thought Dib had just a little more in him then he has shown to actually have over the last several years.
