Who do you think the most hyped boxer is on this forum?
I’m thinkin a toss up between PBF and Hatton
Yep. I’ll agree with that.
Now…the question is…which one is worthy of the hype?
on this forum, amir khan.
Here we will see who the hypees are…
neither one has faced the best competition yet, so I can’t say
Agreed…kinda…I think that everyone across the lakes just has their hopes set.
I aint buying what’s being sold just yet.
He’s promising…but he aint the next Hamed…if that’s even a great thing.
The thing is…& this is just Wacko’s opinion…technically…they have.
Floyd has faced an assload of very good & exceptional competition. Gatti, Sosa, Judah, Mitchell, Corrales, Castillo, Hernandez, Augustus, Chavez, Manfredy, & quite a few others.
That’s a good roster…that reads like the who’s who of namesake’s.
The critisicm that Floyd recieves is just hate IWO.
Hatton has beaten Kostya…to most…that equates to “exceptional competition”.
Then you got Maussa, Tackie, Phillips, & of late the questionable win over Collazo.
He’s more like the next Ponchito Bojado
mike tyson is clearly the most hyped boxer on this forum.
Ooooooooooooooooh damn. That was cold. ;D
I think PBF isn’t overrated at all… just listen to 90% of the actual boxing experts… they mostly agree he is among the best ever.
Wladimir Klitschko and Joe Calzaghe. Particularly Wlad. ::**
How is Joe hyped?
Just before his win over Jeff Lacy, most americans didn’t even know his name.
Yes they did, hardcore fans anyhow. I had seen him fight well b4 Lacy even turned pro. I picked Lacy to beat him, but he did not. Since then Brits have had a real “I told you so” attitude about the guy and now think him unbeatable even at LH. Least thats how I take it.
naaaa…i don’t think so
I’m a brit, and i think Tarver would outbox Joe silly ;D
I hate Tarver myself and hope B-hop will beat him. If he and Joe fought, less Joe was bein real real cocky, I’d be rooting for Joe. It just pisses me off a lil when I say Glen Johnson would be a tough competetive fight for Calzaghe, maybe just whip him, and I am laughed at and told Joe would beat him easily like he did Lacy, which is nonsense.
Firstly Wacko, Hatton has only fought KT for a good reason that was his first shot, he has been a world champ for less than a year so its a bit unfair to compare PBF and Hatton’s opponents at this point in time lets look two years down the line and then compare, there both hyped for good reason there two of the best boxers in the world at this moment in time.
Hulk people dont laugh at you for thinking Johnson v Calzaghe would be quite competative but in reality Joes style matches up well with a slow come forward fighter like Johnson, look at the Woods fight for instance and for record i think he won both fights Johnson but they were very close and if you look at Woods since them fights his boxing has improved probably 50%, where Johnson is 37 and on the decline, i actully think Woods will beat Johnson and we wont see Calzaghe v Johnson, but i would be very confident in Calzaghe beating Johnson.
Joe C would KO Johnson. Simple! There isnt a super middle or Light Heavy on the planet that would beat Joe at the minute. clinton Woods would beat Johnson at this time in their careers and woods wouldnt stand a chance against Joe either IMO
To Answer the original question I have to ask another question: In terms of overhype, what day, month and year is it?
I mean the morning after a fight it is hype city. At various times I have in the past seen even Audley Harrison hyped as the next heavyweight king. Heck last week it was friggin Kobe Bryant getting hyped like heck (what basketball posts were doing in here I am not sure. WAS THAT GUY PARTYING WITH YOU WACKO???)
Hatton gets the most exposure, but Skel is right in aint hype!! IMO Hatton has timed his career just right and hence he is world champion and not sitting at home wondering why he took on too much too soon like Jeff Lacy is.
MAB and JCC both had many fights against mediocre opposition before stepping up and it worked ok for them. I think JCC had about 45 fights before fighting for a title!!
It’s on his next 2 or 3 fights that he should and will be judged
EXCUSE ME?!?!
Wlad is not HYPED, he does hold a title unlike…
JAMES TONEY
