    junior saba,

    never even had a fight and is being heralded as the next world champion just bc roger mayweather said he was good on youtube

    i mean if that doesnt win it, then what does?

    Think that due to the nature of boxing many fighters get hyped beyond their ability...its part of the fabric of how the business works...most boxers get to a point where their ability is reached and then their limitations exposed.The exeptional ones deliver.
    Its what makes the sport watchable.
    For example when Haye fought Klitschko we didnt really know...we thought we did but werent sure...then we watched it unfold...be the same if Fury gets his chance...once a fighter gets beat the knockers come out...some fighters are well managed and get their opponents at the 'right time'...Hatton was a good example.
    Watching to see if fighters live up to their hype is why we watch the sport.
