Most hyped boxer on this forum

[skel1983]

naaaa.....i don't think so
I'm a brit, and i think Tarver would outbox Joe silly

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?)

[BIG H]

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

[El Kabong]

Wladimir Klitschko and Joe Calzaghe. Particularly Wlad.

EXCUSE ME?!?!

Wlad is not HYPED, he does hold a title unlike...

JAMES TONEY

OR

RICARDO MAYORGA

Who do you think the most hyped boxer is on this forum?

I'm thinkin a toss up between PBF and Hatton

Going with Hatton on this one...The Hattonites fervor increased even after his fight with Collazo...i won't concede a Collazo loss so i'll stick with fight....the Hattonites built Hatton up after that....something tells me that when /if Hatton gets destroyed by PBF/Gatti/ODLH/Castillo/Corrales the Hattonites will still find ways to boast of his accomplishments....

[azumir]

For a looooooooooong period of time Lacy was the most hyped boxer on this board.

James Toney should be mentioned too.

Not at all mate if he gets bashed i wont make no excuses, but he is hyped because in his first World Title fight he made one of the best 140lbs ever quit on his stool, why is that hype It aint hype it is reality people should be talking, he aint just hyped here though even over the pond with you guys he won every award going over there after that win, Ring fighter of the year Boxing writers fighter of the year the list goes on so it aint hype it's fact.

He has had three World title fights and won them all, till he gets beaton or badly exposed he will be talked about as one of the best because he is and not only us Brits say that have a look at the facts i have just pointed out to you.

[killersheep]

When I started this thread, by "hype" I meant who are people most passionate about.
I did not mean "over-hyped"

I still think that by my definition,

Hatton and PBF are the most defended and criticized on this forum.

[cockey cockney]

PBF and Hatton is a good shout

[ono]

Yep. I'll agree with that.

Now...the question is...which one is worthy of the hype?

Here we will see who the hypees are.................
neither one has faced the best competition yet, so I can't say

Hatton fought Tszyu
Mayweather fought Corrales, Castillo, Judah (shit IMO but big name)

[Hulk]

Wladimir Klitschko and Joe Calzaghe. Particularly Wlad.

EXCUSE ME?!?!

RICARDO MAYORGA

Yeah Wlad is currently a titlist. Those two guys you just named are former undisputed World Champions. There's a differnce. And yes Wlad is hyped, just like Vitali was hyped, Klitheads want to ignore his chin and stamina and pretend those problems are gone forever and that his power is unstoppable. His constant holding is also downplayed and ignored.

Remind me ...how many fights did KT have after the Hatton Fight? oh yeah NONE! KT was on the decline and his heart was no longer in it...come to think of it, had hatton low blowed me in the junk like he did KT i might quit as well...and you know Collazo not only beat him, he exposed him.....just look at the facts I have pointed out to you...

This is quite a funny thread as of all the names people were throwing around the two most overhyped wern't mentioned at all

The first is Marco Antonio Berrara most people's number 3 in the world. He's been a fantastic champion for sure but he's no longer the force he was and will be ending his career within a year or so, unless he wants to end up like Morales. Right now there are probably 3 or 4 people capable of beating him.

The most overrated fighter on here without a doubt though is Winky Wright, I mean the man is just perfect in so many people's eyes.

Seriously apart from me, I've never heard nayone say a bad word about him.

I find it funny that in just a couple weeks time his title challenge will have failed, Jermain Taylor, one of the most underratted champs around will finally be undisputed and people will say that Winky was too small, too old whatever.

MARK MY WORDS!!!

why is that nonsense. make some good points to support your argument. just because you say its nonsense doesn't make it. rationalize it
