I don't think Gerry Cooney would be close. It seems everyone including HBO name him as the biggest hype job. Jimmy Young beat George Foreman two years before Cooney whooped his ass. Ron Lyle gave everyone problems including the "GREAT" Ali, Cooney took him out in 1 round, Norton was old but sure as hell didn't look it, took him out in 54 seconds. Look at his amatuer background one of the top amatuer fighter's took out the undefeated Cuban. I get sick of this shit on Cooney he went 55-3 in the amatuers and was beaten by the alltime greatest fighter's of all time. Do I need to name them ? Holmes,Foreman,Spinks. Nothing to be ashamed of at all in my book. Gave Holmes a helluva a tough time for the heavyweight crown. If weren't for Holmes saying " if Cooney wasn't white he wouldn't be worth a shit" every 5 mins I think we would look at him a little differently. He did what he had to do and did it by knocking the top ranked oppents out not by desicion.

Who I think is the biggest hype job ever is Tyson pure and simple. He was amazing when he was young but since his return after his imprisonment was even bigger than he originally was and did nothing great whatsoever.
