    Right, Ricky is no HYpe, he lives up to it, by always fighting the best, win or lose. And he has had a great career with many notable wins.

    Right now, Berto is probably the biggest hypejob of the bunch, although that's recently been fading. Speaking of... Mosley is not a hypejob, per se, but he seems to be on the receiving end of an undue amount of hype.
    Arreola, Fields and Furry were all decked out in hype until fairly recently.
    How can I forget Pavlik... wow.
    Tommy Morrison :deal
    Hammed was not hype.
    Gatti, I hate to rain on someone's hero, but although he was a very exciting popular fighter his skills were, mostly as a result of this, blown out of proportion.

    and of course the biggest hypejob of them all ... Ricky Hatton.

    Yeah he definetely was known for his unique style of fighting and ring entrance. But once you get mugged like he got by Barrera its hard to have the same effect.

    No-one is hyping him...everyone knows he is ****.

    Same with Harrison. He had a good amature career and that was it!

    No, seriously. We all have our opinions, and my biggest trait to look for in any fighter is heart. And Ricky has plenty of it, and has fought the best in the world with it. Some he has won, and some he has lost. But he still wants to fight the best, because he has that heart.

    Matthew is only known because of his brother its such shame that he got a world title shot ahead of other more deserving fighters and then after that fight he got the euro title! how did that happen? He just gets hyped by hatton promotions that's why I mentioned him. Harrison is in there because after he got the olympic gold he was gunna be the next big thing and got really hyped up at the time and lacy was supposed to be the next tyson!

    Yeah Matty gets hyped by his brother, no1 else. I can start hyping Tyson Fury but it doesnt make him the biggest hype job of the last 20 years.

    Audley was never a hype job as he didnt have a pro career!

    Lacy yeah, the next tyson my arse.
