Good discussion and examples.
Just want to add though..... in the past we've had threads on super-hyped fights that disappointed, or met/exceeded expectations....... and fights not very much hyped which turned out to be super fights.
But this thread actually adds another variant..... the fights whose pre-fight hype was unwarranted because everyone should've known it wasn't going to be competitive, be it due to huge size difference, or huge difference in skill set.
A warranted super-hyped fight that ends up disappointing is not the fans or the matchmaker's fault. The hype was warranted because it was competitive on paper.
Whereas an unwarranted super-hyped fight that hardcore fans know won't be competitive has a little more blame to go around.
