    Judah has to be at or near the top of the list. Lacy too. Hatton. There are a few others I can't think of.

    Of course up and coming fighters are hyped - I understand that this is what draws fans. The problem is he was hyped up as the second coming before his last fight, then he didn't deliver. I sat through his rags to ritches story, the story on him fighting for his brother, his visit to the rams, Kellerman going on about betting on him as the next biggest star, etc. Then he looked like **** in his fight, some even think he should have lost. That is a hype job, probably not the biggest ever, but I threw it out there as the latest hype job gone bad.

    Zab is a two division title holder undisputed in one. He's not a hype job. Hype jobs get beat before they even get started and don't even make it to that level. Your problem is you don't even know the definition of a hype job. A hype job is someone like Michael Grant or Francisco Bojado who got a lot of hype but never accomplished ****.:deal

    It amazes me the level of ignorance on ESB. A lot of guys being mentioned here aren't hype jobs. Guys like Hatton, Taylor and Calzaghe aren't hype jobs.:deal

    Agree 100%.

    On the other hand, Zab Judah wasn't a hype job, he just didn't live up to his true potential.
