Most Hyped Prospect Who Failed To Deliver

Being undisputed champion at Welterweight without ever 'rising to the occasion' is reasonably impressive?

 

He´s not one of the worst cases, but Clifford Etienne never lived up to a fraction of his hype.

 

Rey Bautista is only a kid yet and one bad lose doesnt mean he wont deliever in furute years. De Leon caugh him seriously cold in a fight that Boom Boom should never have being in, in the first place.

Andy Lee

We're writing off Joel Julio already?

 

Bojado comes to mind

Audley Harrison too!

Marvis Frazier of course!

 

Andy Lee, Bojado, Ricardo Williams

 

etiene and golota also! but I wouldn't call them prospects!

 

Bojado comes to mind first in terms of biggest hype on a national scale.

Locally, here in Detroit, I think if Octavio Lara, a kid that Manny Steward was training. According to Manny, Lara was the next big thing, and many in the local and national media bought into it. I saw his second fight, where he headlined a big show at Joe Louis Arena, and he had a ton of support, particularly from the Mexican American community. Unfortunately, he dropped a decision in his fourth fight, got into some trouble involving a drive by shooting, took a year and a half off, dropped another decision, and he hasn't fought in two years.

 

David Reid comes to mind. After Tito busted him up I haven't heard anything from him.

 

Koki Kameda

 

Right now I'd go with Andy Lee. There were so many posts about how great he was/is up to his last fight. The only thing I hear about him now is crickets chirping. Williams not quite @ this level now. We'll see how the both do from here out.
