    Pacquiao. His reputation has far outstripped his accomplishments in the ring at this point.

    Another big one, really big, is Chris Arreola. HBO and many others were
    dubbing this guy as the next big American Heavyweight star. :patsch
    This one is the most recent Big hypejobs i can remember.

    But I will give the guy credit, he is still fighting and you cant count him out just yet.

    how the **** can you put lacy in the same league as the other 3, everyone but lacy acheived something and had good careers so some of the hype must of been correct.
    lacy was hyped up to be the naxt big thing and went on to do **** all :patsch

    Pavlik and Dawson spring to mind.
    How anyone can say Hatton, Hamed and Calzaghe were hype jobs when all three pretty much dominated at their weights is clearly anti british and therefore ignorant.

    ok, if Mayweather fights Pacman next year and wins. He should get no credit whatsoever because he beat the biggest hypejob in 20 years.

    Those are your words.
