Originally posted by LIU KANG View PostEdison Miranda was hyped to hell. People were dissatisfied with how Taylor couldn't beat Hopkins decisively, and how unimpressive he looked in his title defenses. Miranda was pegged as the guy who'd beat him and maybe be a dominant monster because of his KO power. He actually got even more hype after his loss to Abraham because the decision was shady. But he got annihilated by Pavlik, then rebuilding himself at SMW failed when Abraham whacked him in the rematch. He ended up being a bigger version of Mayorga.
Jeff Lacy was building a fan following and got hyped up like crazy. People figured he'd take back 168 from Europeans and run the division, maybe step up to 175 later. But Calzaghe ripped him to pieces and he never recovered.
Samuel Peter was supposed to be the new KO king at HW. He was coming up when Vitali was falling off with injuries, and Wlad was looking like an exposed hypejob himself. But Wlad actually used Peter as the fulcrum for his comeback to the top of the division. It took Peter a few more years just to get a paper belt from Maskaev, then Vitali immediately spanked him for it to start his big comeback. Peter pretty much became a journeyman and the Klitschkos' punching bag.

Not his fault, but he does fit the description of the thread.
