Hype Jobs exposed

I knew fine well you were joshing mate,just decided to sound like a boring twat for ONE POST ONLY.
I know **** all about nutrition really mate.I'm a shitty eater and the health trip's only been forced on me against my will!atsch

 

There was alot of hype over Joel Julio too.

 

Of this list, only Alexander and Jacobs had accomplished little to nothing as pros. That cannot be said for Lopez or Williams.

 

Jacobs fought with cancer in his system, I'm adamant he should be excused.

 

I think Neven Pajkic started the Fury exposé

 

Brock Lesnar.
Amir Khan.
Courage Tshabalala.

 

Do people even have the same definition of a hype job? Seems it's ANY fighter with a fanbase who loses. atsch

To me, a hype job is a fighter who has not done jack ****, yet gets the star treatment.

Berto was a hype job to an extent. Ortiz up to the Maidana fight. Alvarez may prove to be a hype job. And I'd say JCC jr is one at the moment.

 

Zbik and Rubio have lead me to view Chavez Jr as a legit belt holder, more legit than Canelo.

 

Hype job imo is a guy who gets hyped up to be the next best thing but loses and gets exposed before even stepping up to the top level.

 

I was a bit hesitent on Jr. It's taken him QUITE a long time, but I'd say you're right.

Canelo has yet to beat a guy ranked in the top 5 of his division, yet many have him #2 behind #1 cotto (who himself has not). They get high ranking at JrMW based on star power (Canelo) and lower weight accomplishments (Cotto) it seems.

 

Hyped by who though? Just fans? Because fans can be completely irrational at no expense of the fighter, and can apply to almost anyone who loses.

Which is why I limit what I think a hype job is to the added star power assigned. Like calling a fighter a star before he even proves it in the ring. But fair point. :thumbsup

 

By the media and fans.

 

I guess 154 is a division without a face, so Cotto who's had the most high profile fights takes the number one ranking.

Canelo bugs me, he beat a Domestic level WW for the WBC 154lbs belt, Rhodes is a legit defence, but what he's done since just flat out sucks and Mosley isn't much better.

Chavez isn't the man, just a belt holder; he needs to fight Martinez; though I have this dreadful feeling that he will end up fighting Margarito :-(

 

He had a good performance against Maidana! You might wanna re-think that one.
