I don't buy that. He beat the WBA champ, then fought Ruiz who was a mandatory. Then he made millions in a bull**** all English fight before he was outclassed by a better fighter. It doesn't make someone a hypejob by getting beaten by a bigger and better fighter. Yes he talked bollocks that he would knock Wlad out, but when it came to it, Wlad was just a better fighter. If Martinez moved up to SMW and lost to Ward after months of saying he'd knock him out, would he become a hypejob as well? Or is it one rule for 1?
Francisco Bojado Rey Bautista Audley Harrison Gerry Cooney - at some level, i can't really know for sure but i remember hearing the telecast of the Holmes fight and i was gullible enough to think he's Superman. and then the 13th round
I will list only the fighters who reached the title and the name recognition (not Kirkland, Lemieux type of fighters, because there is much more those fighters) From the last 2-3 years: Hatton, Berto, Williams, Alexander, Margarito, Wlodarczyk, Haye, Pascal, Dawson and Arreola all were exposed. Are going to get exposed: Bradley, Chavez and Ward.
I can see Bradley and Chavez getting exposed but I don't ahoy Andre Ward. Who do you think will expose Ward? Also what makes him a hypejob?
I think that it may be a similar situation to Dawson, who was thought to be a #3 p4p fighter in the world before facing Pascal. He is good, but not that good as thought to be (far above the rest of the division). I may be wrong though, if he beats Froch and Bute, there are no more demanding opponents in the division.
Ya JuanMa, the fake JuanMa, is the BIGGEST hypejob I have EVER seen. When all you puerto ricans were talking him up, I was waiting for Caballero and him to fight. When you guys were praising him, I was waiting for a referee to not allow his gay necking bull**** that he always does. I was also waiting for him to fight Gamboa, but whatever. I'm glad ***** got knocked out, to expose his ass for the glass jawed, skillless fraud that he is. Puerto Rico has always been at the very bottom of the Cuban, Mexico, rivalry. Puerto Rico's trainers and boxers are about 4 levels below Cuba. Only Puerto Rican boxer I ever bothered watching was Esteban DeJesus, but hell he didn't even look Puerto Rican. Its hilarious watching Cotto do his little spin out step. He tries to make it look cool its hilarious, and serves no purpose. Its like he's auditioning for dancing with the stars. hes so slow his technique sux. Now Lopez on the other hand, give me a ref that doesn't let him hold behind the neck.... HOLD BEHIND THE NECK after EVERY battle... and you got one comatose puerto rican.
Just look at all the top fighters that got knocked out or outclassed this year. Berto is not as good as Peterson. Lemuix, dzinzurik, Alexander, Pascal, Caba, Lopez, Kirkland, and of course, Haye.
Oh wait, is macho man puerto rican too? He has earned my respect LOL [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFpBnfAJCMg&feature=player_embedded[/ame] I'm the macho man ROFL
What!! 1) Hatton was "exposed" because he lost to the two best fighters in the last decade? 2) Margo? I don't remember anyone ever talking him up as the greatest fighter ever. People said he would give Floyd problems because of his pressure, and that was all! He has some very good wins under his belt, but I suppose being KO'ed by Mosley and beaten by Pac means he's a hypejob bum. 3) and Pascal was exposed because he lost to Hopkins? This thread is just ridiculous now
Caballero ducked, Gamboa ducked. Say whatever you want, they were ducked. All fake juanma ever was, was a promoters regional pawn there to sell tickets to puerto ricans for as many fights as he could. Should have wrapped them hands with a pound of tape. Trinidad knew what was up. :smoke
Yeah, those Puerto Rican boxers sure are 4 levels below great Cuban and Mexican fighters. Wilfredo Gomez, Carlos Ortiz, Wilfred Benitez...complete trash. It's hilarious that I even know their names, ya know, cause they sucked so badly. God, I hate them all.
My bad, I didn't know Benitez was Puerto Rican, cause he sure doesn't fight like a Puerto Rican. Now address my post, the one you quoted .... about Lopez.
