I dont know man, on the short list of most talked about JWW/WW, he's usually at the bottom...and when they do talk about him, its usually about his hair or what he wears in the ring.Comment

1 A great fighter: Pacquiao
2 A good fighter:Berto
3 A journeyman:Clottey
4 A prospect: M. Jones
5 A Bum: DK
6 A hype job: V. Ortiz
Honestly I'd say Berto is between good and great fighter & Clottey is between Journeyman & good fighter.
Ortiz is a hype job at 147 as far as i'm concerned.Comment

Paulie is fighting in 3 days against Cotto's brother Jose Miguel, and judging by the fact that it doesn't sound like you knew that I'd say he's not receiving much hype.
And if you're going to pick on guys who've moved up to welterweight recently, I think Victor Ortiz is probably more deserving of the "hype job" label considering he had a tremendous amount of hype from Golden Boy and HBO, then publicly thought about quitting the sport the 1st time someone hit him back. But he'll get his chance to reverse that soon.Comment

1 A great fighter: Floyd Mayweather
2 A good fighter: Manny Pacquiao
3 A journeyman: Lovemore N'dou
4 A prospect: Brad Solomon
5 A Bum: Ashely Theophane (I'll take it back if he publicly admits Delvin beat him)
6 A hype job: Victor Ortiz (until he beats a top tier guy I'll think he was overly hyped. He lost to the only top tier guy he fought. Beat Berto and you'll never hear about it again)Comment
