    I was watching this vid and it got me thinking who was the most delusional boxer ever, someone who was created by people who don`t understand boxing, who has anyone got as No.1 out this dubious bunch?

    These Grove Groupies/Eubank Hatersare pathetic!!!

    Eubank will bash Groves in the rematch. Salty Groves fan get a grip he's Eubank lost the battle but won the war.

    This era is pretty bad. Not only are these dudes hyped to the moon and back but these dudes don’t even sell well. Today’s fight fan believes any nonsense they’re told.

    Kneeguel Cotto was a hypejob as well, fortunately Margarito the Tijuana Tornado exposed him and beat that midget into submission.

    All things considered, Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

    Couldn’t win without hometown judges and refs, Xylocaine, cycling on and off PEDs, IV bags, draining, cherry picking, dragging up fighters from 140 and below, ducking his mandatories, taking “vacations” while the best were fighting the best, spending his whole prime at welter but never fighting a prime welter at their best weight, paying millions so fighters would not wear their regular gloves, etc., etc.

    His undefeated record is pure hype.

    Exposed what exactly?
    It was pretty obvious that Cotto had some serious vulnerabilities.
    But yes, he did have a lot of hype but it didn't make him a hypejob. Cotto had some good wins before his first loss.
