Worst boxers who were hyped in the 21 th century?

No they didn't...find me one single post where there is any evidence of this, such a **** troll

 

I think Broner should be at the top of the list. I can't believe that dumb ass got hyped up so much just because he tried to emulate mayweather. All he did was beat up guys much smaller than him, and then won a belt against feather fist and shot Malignaggi. Glad to see Maidana derailed him

 

Broner, Dirrell and Berto

 

Sadly, the guy in OP's name might be on this list if he ever fights a live body. That's the difference between GGG and everyone on this list. Everyone on this list took a step up, and then we found out they were not as good as advertised. GGG wont take the step up for us to know how good he is.

 

Sure. :verysad

 

Wilder is clearly the worst over-hyped boxer in the 21st century. He's been a pro for five years, yet STILL hasn't faced a live body. His record is littered with the worst stiffs I've ever seen a "prospect" face on the way up.

And even some the no-hopers he's faced have had this FRAUD on the canvas. Wilder is a KO waiting to happen, nothing more. He's got a super-fragile glass jaw, and his handlers know it.

 

Honestly I don't see why people say Wilder is so over hyped, because I don't see him being hyped much at all. He is barely ever shown on TV and is not being hyped up by the media. If anyone if hyping him it would be a small amount of people on message boards. I agree that he has fought nothing but tomato cans and needs to step up his competition and will probably get sparked out when he does

 

This is such a **** list. The quality of this site's posters seems to be plummeting by the second at the moment.

You've never seen a worse schooling than the one Maidana gave broner? You need to watch more boxing.

Haye was the man at cruiser weight and won a strap at heavyweight before losing to a long reigning dominant champion in his adopted backyard. Also nobody said he was Tyson.

And Trout isn't a journeyman. He just lost to two other world class fighters. So bore off you're not even a funny troll.

 

Berto hyped big time by HBO as the next big star given easy fights to win the title and defended against crap turned out to be very average.

Victor Ortiz again hyped as a future star of the sport lost to Maidana given the Floyd fight after going life and death with fellow hypejob Berto, ends up loosing to fringe contender collazo in 2.

Adrien Broner the next floyd lucky to beat PDL close fight with Paulie and beaten down by Maidana will end up a gatekeeper.

David Price hyped as the heir to the HW throne despite never fighting a top contender stepped up and got exposed twice.

Kell Brook big hype behind him from Sky but in reality has spent a 32 fight career fighting nobodies and will imo be beaten down when he finally steps up.

Arturo Gatti Pains me to say it as he was such a warrior and in amazing fights but he's hyped as if he was a Great and was put in the HOF in reality while an exciting fighter never an elite one.

 

Sam Peter. Unbelievably overhyped.

 

Berto
Alexander
Wilder
Scott
Arreola
Kevin Johnson (remember this one?)
Dirrell
Green
Mitchell
Dawson (although he has a respectable resume, the Yanks said he'd dominate everyone for years)
Taylor
Lacy
Grant
Librado Andrade
Ortiz
Quillin (it's died down now, but he did get crazy hype not too long ago)
Canelo

i'm sure there's loads more. but this is a huge list of the biggest hype jobs you'll ever see.

 

Sky aren't calling Brook the man to take over the division or anything. they're just saying he's a good fighter who could win a title. and nearly all on here don't hype him, they say the exact opposite.

so how can he be a hype job then? :huh

 

A lot of Haymon's fighters.
