    Man this list is worst than when Sechback said Inoue got “exposed” by Donaire...

    None of these got “exposed”...

    It matters where Canelo was supposed to be all this time.
    I didn’t disagree about Kovalev.

    Lmfao, if it was Canelo getting knocked out cold by a Walter weight you would've been the first yelling how he got exposed, but since it's one of your favorite fighters he "took a dive" which is hilarious, btw your list sucks.

    Callum Smith IMO got exposed. It took an outrageous robbery to prevent him from losing to a determined but less skilled guy (Ryder).

    This is trash. Crawford got dropped, no doubt, but he still controlled and won the fight very clearly. Kava wasn't some random journeyman, he's a decent fighter with some power. Fighters have closer fights than some people think sometimes.

    Spence beat Porter but it was close. So what? Porter is a good fighter, always has been and gives everyone Hell.

    AJ...ok maybe a little, although only morons thought he was invincible to begin with. His weaknesses have been on show for plenty of time.

    A fighter gets exposed when he steps up a level and loses but only when all the hype indicated they were at that level. Having someone give you a tougher fight than expected when you've already been operating at or above that level...isn't being exposed.

    Thurman possibly. Both Lopez and Pacquiao proved that he's no longer a top dog, imo-and by exposed I imply that he's not that good that most people believed.

    To an extent, Tyson Fury. He shouldn't have struggled that much, and Wallin showed that Tyson is beatable. At least he changed perspective of many people about Usyk's chances against Fury.

    To a degree any one can be exposed if we use the standard set by the most lunatic fan boys but by any sane fans outlook of say of the listed only Joshua but he showed weaknesses vs wlad and povetkin. Losing to Ruiz just hurt his stock a lot

    Are you playing stupid?

    Spence was viewed as a gigantic cold blooded killer of a welterweight with devastating punching power and either the #1 or #2 guy in the division. Mikey was going up 2 divisions to fight him. Almost everyone had Spence KOing Mikey and possibly ending his career.

    Spence threw over 1,100 punches and couldn't even hurt a stationary Mikey that barely engaged. Spence was exposed in that his power was overrated (or dropped with VADA testing) and he didn't know how to create or force openings.

    The 40 year old Pac that Thurman and Broner fought would seriously hurt Mikey and maybe even stop him. Hell, I got Pac by KO if he fights Mikey and he wouldn't need to throw anywhere close to 1,100 punches. Thurman and Crawford would murk Mikey, too.

    Nonsense. Spence showed a new wrinkle in his game that i didnt and no one else thought he had and that was elite boxing ability he used a jab countered and outboxed mikey instead of using his size and body attack to beat him like everyone thought he would do. Also, who has stopped or beat up mikey? That's not getting exposed.

    Lastly pac didnt do VADA testing in some of his latest fights so i dont know what you're talking about there.

    LMAO.. Crawford was not dropped. You guys are desperate because Lomachenko was put firmly on his azz.

    Crap thread.

    None of the fighters listed were exposed.

    They just took on difficult styles and sometimes were not well-enough prepared.

    I would love to see how these armchair-critics would do themselves.

    Kovalev looked deteriorated for many years already. He also had no preparation time for Canelo fight.
