    Which current fighters do you not consider to be a hype job?

    We have seen it many times before where a fighter is heavily hyped or becomes a world champ but then gets brutally exposed when they step up in class.

    So who isnt a hype job?

    Heres a few that to me have proven they are not

    C Froch
    M Kessler
    D Haye
    V Klitschko
    W Klitschko
    Z Erdei
    S Cunningham
    J Pascal
    S Martinez
    M Cotto
    J M Marquez


    Of course there are many others but dont include proven pro drugs cheats or fighters that have requested for catch weight fights

    In the current climate you're going to catch hell for saying thay Haye's not a hypejob.

    Apparently he's the worst boxer ever to win a belt and is worse than many regional level amateur fighters

    Its not about whether you like the fighter or not, its about whether they can be considered a hype job or not.
    Haye won WBC WBA WBO Ring CW titles and the WBA HW title all in around 24 fights and has won titles away.

    Khan was smashed inside a round to Prescott but has rebuilt himself well with a clear win over Kotelnik and has now beaten Maidana.
    Im still undecided about Khan at this time

    Froch was never hyped, quite the opposite actually, it took him years to get the attention he deserved :lol:

    khan was all hype no substance before getting blitzed and sorting himself out

    Haye has become a total hype job. maybe he has done things to the contrary before but he's a first class hype job now.

    I know Froch isnt a hype job. I wrote which current fighters do you consider not to be hype jobs, then I listed a few who I dont think are hype jobs.

    You're going to have to learn to read more carefully :patsch

    Mate, you don't have to argue with me - I was merely predicting that, judging by the last few days, this thread will be hijacked by morons like the kind who legitimately made the points that I wrote in my last post

    Kessler was built to be a super middleweight monster by a certain group of fans. Then came along a young 21-fight pro, Andre 'SOG' Ward, who done a pretty simple job on him.
