The biggest hype-job of all time?

Hopkins must be more of a hype job then atsch.

 

Has to be Dawson!

 

Was that before or after all the yanks were telling us how Lacy ( 168 version of Mike Tyson ) was going to destroy him in 3 ? hahaha

 

Bute.

 

Anyone got a picture with the Ring Magazine with Dominic Guinn and Joe Mesi and it says next Holyfield and Tyson. Two huge American hype jobs

 

Deontay Wilder.

 

Concept of American ball players in modern heavyweight division.

 

Trout was the second coming of christ for a few months (still good fighter tho). My shout is price. " two more fights and i'll be ready for a klitscko" but his nxt two fights were against TT. Really like price but his career was so ****ing easy until the first thompson fight. Dreadfully managed

 

Donny golden boy lalonde I rember hype leading up to sugar ray fight
Darrin school boy van horne cover of ring pretty hyped don't get me wrong both good fighters who were champs but not all hyped up to be

 

Hey fukface, hypejobs tend to fail - after being hyped for success. All Calzaghe did was win.

 

It's hard to say who's been the biggest hyped job of all time since a lot fighters can fit that bill. I say Iron Mike Tyson was probably the biggest hyped job of all time since he was billed the baddest man on the planet etc etc then he got brought down to reality by a guy that was 40-1 underdog.

 

Adrien Broner


END THREAD

 

Jorge Linares. Here's a guy that was being called one of the best offensive fighters of all time, and was being compared to Sugar Ray Robinson. The guy never had a marquee win and struggled and lost to C level fighters. Now he's a has been before the age of 30. I'm not sure how anyone can say a guy like Broner with Linares out there. Broner is only 23 and already accomplished more than Linares ever did.

 

HATTON for me

 

Dawson?

His career is about as underrated as it gets.
