Who are they? From any country, in any weight division at any time since 2000. The ones who got built up & up by the media, promotors & forums etc to be the next ATG & GOAT contender but the minute the level of opposition was raised they were found out & fell way short of the hype. Who are the top 5?
Amir Khan Victor Ortiz Andre Berto Jeff Lacy David Price Possible entries :- Broner, Juan Manuel Lopez, Seth Mitchell
there are the ones: Ortiz, Juan m. lopez, berto, on the list yet to be determined: broner, kell brook, wilder
Possibly Canelo depending how his career turns out, I don't take nothing away from him losing to Mayweather.. Juanma was hyped, but he doesn't belong in the same sentence with fighters such as Berto, Ortiz, Price and Dulorme. He ran into Salido twice and was never the same after. Even before, he was getting knocked down by Rafael Marquez, that African guy and Conception. He was however a legit world champion in two weight classes, knocking out the defending champion in both instances.
Thanks. Yeah i kinda thought that too. He probably doesn't deserve to be in that list but i put him there because he should have blown out Salido making a jml vs gamboa superfight. Since that first loss he has declined significantly. He is the underdog for the Ponce fight this sat.
1. Broner then number 2 is so far behind him it's not even up for debate. People say Jeff Lacy because he was being compared to Mike Tyson, but he was destroyed by the great Calzaghe. Broner meanwhile-the next Floyd Mayweather- was completely outbox by a guy a limited slow plodder.
