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

[AztecWanker]

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.

He is a P4P fighter, my dude!

Ewe I forgot about Valero..... replace Chaves jr on my list with Valero.

[Sugar May Floyd]

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.

This thread has failure written over it


Hopkins was 43 years old and has a case he won the fight. How many ringside analyst scored it for Hopkins.,

RJJ- He went 12 rounds with RJJ. Johnson and Tarver KO'd a better version of RJJ. That makes Calzaghe look bad

Lacy- Was a hypejob. Why are you giving credit for this win then??

Eubank - Had 2 fights at 175 before Calzaghe fight. Was planning to fight a title at 200 WBC. But got canceled and in short notice took Calzaghe which he entered a 2 week weight draining regime to make weight.


Damn what a joke of a resume. Who did he beat in his title defenses. nobodies

[-CANE-]

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.

1. Muhammad Ali - Anyone that gets beat by Trevor Berbick has to be.
2. Joe Louis - Gets beat by a German Heavyweight then feasts on bums for 10 years then loses to a short unskilled white guy named Marciano.
3. Ivan Drago - he only ever beat a washed up Apollo Creed.

The Mighty Robin Reid, oh wait, he can argue that he won the fight too

1. That doesn't change the fact that he was Top 5 P4P.
2. RJJ was never demolished in that manner, and even though he was out of his prime, nobody but Calzaghe can mess up Roy in that manner.
3. If he was a hypejob, why was he the heavy favorite?
Again, you forgot to mention Kessler. LoL!
Joke's on you my friend.

[DarchinyFAN]

He is a P4P fighter, my dude!

Only p4p in name, because people put him there. He is more in the 15-30 range IMO. He has done nothing to deserve that top 10 spot.

Kessler was hurt going into the fight and didn't spar during training, yet Joe basically slapped him around for 12 rounds. Roy, Toney and BHop wouldve have schooled and stopped a fighter in his situation

Tarver KO RJJ in round 2
Calzaghe was favourite over Lacy
Kessler best win is Mundine that is a joke. Actually his best win was his loss to Calzaghe
