    Pavlik is the biggest of recent times!!!

    Fighting guys like gary lockett and ****. Beat JT twice.

    Gets schooled by hopkins and martinez. Didnt really do **** on HBO.

    Plus he didnt look good in his last fight. Plus the booze and letting his fans down and ****.

    Pavlik is hbo's biggest hype job

    HBO couldnt wait to get him the **** outta there

    Berto's fight vs. Ortiz was their highest rating in a long time if memory serves, but it's hard to say who that was because of (whether mostly Ortiz/Berto/both).

    Berto-Ortiz I was their highest rated fight in years. HBO didn't ditch him though. Showtime outbid them for the rematch.

    I think it was both, and hard fans knowing how good of a match this was everyone tuned in with the expectation of watching an execution, one of them had to go and us fans knew they had the capability of k.o.ing other, and what we got was a very exiting fight that went the distance.

    No sir.

    JT ended the longest reign in MW history. Wnet 36 straight rounds against 2 P4P guys (Hopkins, Wright) and at worst won half of those rounds.

    Jermain Taylor doesn't belong on any list with Bojado and R. Williams.

    Panchito Bojado was the worst. They were trying to make him into the next El Feroz but he was just El Burro's ass.

    :dealOne that comes to my mind is Clifford Etienne...He was supposed to be the next big thing at heavy according to HBO.

    Hypejobs happen.

    I wouldn't get too bent out of shape over it. None of us ever really know who the next big boxing superstar is going to be so the networks have to push someone while we're waiting to find out.
