    To be fair, Breland could lay claim to being the greatest amateur fighter ever, so it was pretty much impossible not to hype him up.

    Breland had phenomenal skills, that didn't transfer to the Pros - I'd say he was a big disappointment as opposed to overhyped

    Antonio Margarito the guy was talked up by his fans as some monster. But to anyone who knew boxing we could all see how limited and flawed he was.

    I would say Miranda.

    Some mentions Calzaghe or Margarito. But please they are great fighters and would have a winning chance against any opponent - thats not over hyped.

    Miranda was - and when it maters - he never won.

    :patsch No one's skill and ability EVERY warrant the amount of hype they receive... because hype isn't BASED on skill or ability. Hype can be based on a ton of things.... stupid child..
