    heres the thing if you asked me post prescott if khan would comeback and beat berrara,kotelnik,salita and malinaggi at 140 i'd tell you to keep off the meth, i dont know where his level is until he steps it up with 1 of the kingpins at 140

    i agree, i was never a khan fan boy to begin with, but you look at the people he has beat since( fair enough he has been matched very very very well) but still i would have never expected that post the prescott KO

    ppl think those fighters were walk overs if khan was truly a hype job he would have been further exposed IMHO but he dominated all of them. jorge linares is a hype job imho hes won narrow decisions to journeyman and has a pritty whack chin himself

    Of course hatton was a hype job...who did he beat?? He made a career off beating an old kostya tsyzu who was ready to hand the baton on. Other than that what did he do?

    Kirkland- doesnt look like a hype job to me, but its a bit early to say, if he stays out of jail lets see what he can do.

    Khan- is the ultimate british hypejob, why wont he fight dangerous boxers? already had his glass chin smashed by a journeyman once

    Cintron schools Angulo badly but Cintron is the hypejob? All credibility just went out the window. Also, there's a big, big difference between 'overrated' and 'hypejob'. Hatton was overrated but not a hypejob. I'd say Cotto has always been overrated, but he's certainly no hype-job. Amir Khan and JCC Jr. are closer to what I think of as hype-jobs. Khan v Salita was the Battle of the Hype-jobs, with the lesser hype-job winning.

    He could well mean it literally; I don't know if he's just an idiot or somebody's ****-stirring alias. If he was suggesting what you say then he's utilising a level of subtlety undetectable to the human brain. (I think he's just a knob).

    Hatton = Real Deal. Only loses are to Mayweather and Pacquiao
    Cotto = Real Deal. Not an all time great but very good. Has losses to Pacquiao and Margarito which has to be questioned. Beat Shane Mosley.
    Margarito = Hype Job Even with the bricks he was a loss waiting to happen. Mosley beat him because he's a better boxer not because he got caught.
    Berto = Real Deal. He won't be Mayweather or Pacquiao good. He will be Cotto/Hatton good.
    Angulo = Real Deal. Could be great.
    Alvarez = Real Deal. Could be great.
    Cintron = Hype Job. This is a tough one he has two losses to Margarito but there is something about him that dose not sit right with me.
    Pavlik = Border Line. Has some good wins over Taylor and Marandia, but has losses to Hopkins and Martinez.
    Pacquiao = Real Deal. An all time great
    Floyd = Real Deal. The best boxer of his time.
    Kirkland = Hype Job. Has already had legal troubles. That is never a good sign.
    JCC Jr. = Border Line. When your Father is a boxing ledgend and you have the same name it is almost imposible to live up to that name. Jr. will never be as good as Sr. That dose not mean he can't have a successful career.
    Bradley = Real Deal. Outstanding boxer, but lacks power.
    Khan = Real Deal. There questions about his chin, but other than that he could be great.
    Juan Ma. = Real Deal.
    Gamboa = Real Deal.
