Name your TOP three Hype Jobs (Any weight) and Why

[The Hammer]

Dawson has beaten Adamesk, Johnson and Tarver. All were LHW best at the time.

Adamek was weight-drained when he fought Dawson, he's been doing great at cruiserweight.

Tarver and Johnson are age 40, and neither are "LHW best" - Hopkins and Calzaghe, although they're old too, are much better.

That works both ways boss. Williams beat Margarito who smashed Cotto, If you assume Margarito used Plaster for Cotto, then you should also assume he used it for Williams, since both of them were undefeated. The difference being:

Williams UD Margarito
Margarito TKO 11 Cotto

Yes Quintana UD Williams
but Williams KO 1 Quintana in rematch.

First of all, I make no assumptions regarding Margarito's past use of illegal wraps, that goes for Cotto and Williams both. There's no way to prove it, so therefore it does not enter my thought process.

Secondly, if Williams were half the great fighter his fans prop him up to be, he would've never been embarassed by Quintana the first time around.

Phillips and Kolle are chumps. Wright is a carcass, he's been damaged goods since Hopkins dispatched him in 2007.

Paul has done fuck all since beating Margarito.

Number 3- Sergio Mora-- Biggest fight is a win a close decision to Vernon Forrest which Forrest avenged..not to mention a bunch of "Contender" low round wins over so-so fighters. Its about time he fights a challenge in a 12 round fight.

Number 2- Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.--Almost 40 fights and no names , if he is trying to follow in his fathers foot steps he is on his way (many bums) but I will say his father was very good and a warrior JR needs to step up before he hits 50 fights. His style can make for good fights but where is his heart? His father should give him his.

Number 1- Joan Guzman- Super hype job has talent but talent alone doesn't earn him respect, he has fought 5 times in since 5-2006. Last 5 opponents have a combined 28 losses. Has fought 1 time in 2007 and 1 time in 2008. According to Boxingscene Rankings lightweight Division he has not fought a top 10 or even 20 ranked fighter. Most known for not making weight and pulling out of fight with Campbell. Biggest win to Barrios....was a split decision. Also boring running style.

I disagree about Guzman, he is not a hypejob. He is wasted talent.

My picks.

1. Chris John (No explanation necessary)
2. Victor Ortiz (IMO, I don't think he has fought a decent opponent)
3. Amir Khan (when you get called the next big thing and struggle with bums, youre a hypejob)

Interesting people are saying Dawson and Williams.

Dawson has beaten Adamesk, Johnson and Tarver. All were LHW best at the time.

Williams has beaten Mitchell Carlos Q Margarito and Phillips.

Both have better resume than Kessler

Mitchell was a shot 140 pounder

Verno Phillips is really not that good and he is 40 years old

[SickmyDuck]

I would say

Williams
Haye
Berto
Arreola

[loui_ludwig]

Edwin Valero - good win by KO's but they are bums. Except for Mosquera, which made it past the 6th round(forgot what round Mos got KO'ed).

Amir Khan - cuz he got Khanned the Fu&k out by Prescott.

Thai fighters cuz they only fight in their land and rarely go outside(not hating on Thais,been there 4x).


I want to say Katsidis cuz he lost his big fights to an aging Casamayor, outworked by Diaz, and even bloodied by Czar Amonsot. But i liked the way he fights.

Margarito was never to beging with??

Clottey
Cotto
Cintron twice

and P4P fighter

Adamesk is the CW in the world now. If Johnson and Tarver were past their best. What about Eubank Hopkins and RJJ. Lacy was a hypejob as well

Damn Joke Calzaghe resume is looking bad now

Popkins - Top 5 P4P at the time Calzaghe beat him...
RJJ - Dominated in a manner which nobody predicted nor imagined.
Lacy - Huge favorite, "next Tyson" as portrayed by you guys. Next big thing in America, it's too bad Calzaghe ruined him to the point of calling him "overrated." LoL!
Eubank - Fought at a highly respectable form, was in great shape and only 30 years old.
If you're going to mention Calzaghe's resume, why not throw in Kessler in there as well?

Oh and one more thing about Calzaghe, he never lost to a bum like Quintana, nor did he ever have trouble beating RJJ. Dawson vs Johnson could have gone either way.

When Dawson/Williams have 20+ title defenses, only then you should have the audacity of comparing them with Calzaghe.

3. Ivan Calderon

2. Julio Cesar Chavez jr.

1. David Haye


Haye might prove me wrong someday, but right now he is mostly hype to me. Of the other 2, for Calderon its too late, and Chavez jr. is a never-will-be.

[AztecWanker]

Edwin Valero - good win by KO's but they are bums. Except for Mosquera, which made it past the 6th round(forgot what round Mos got KO'ed).

Amir Khan - cuz he got Khanned the Fu&k out by Prescott.

Thai fighters cuz they only fight in their land and rarely go outside(not hating on Thais,been there 4x).


I want to say Katsidis cuz he lost his big fights to an aging Casamayor, outworked by Diaz, and even bloodied by Czar Amonsot. But i liked the way he fights.

Damn, I forgot about him, he is the ultimate hypejob.

[Sugar May Floyd]

Adamek was weight-drained when he fought Dawson, he's been doing great at cruiserweight.

Tarver and Johnson are age 40, and neither are "LHW best" - Hopkins and Calzaghe, although they're old too, are much better.

If Adamesk was weight drained I guess Chris Eubank was weight drained against Calzaghe.

Adamesk even said Weight was not a problem before and after the fight. A weight drained fighter look more like Oscar than Adamesk.

Tarver Adamesk Johnson were all top LHW. Johnson is still in the top 5
