    Yea but Matthysse had fought some good fighters. Broner beat who...? DeMarco was his best win?

      yeah was ridiculous, i wasnt on this site at that time but i read lots of mailboxes, comments etc, know what the hype was like, people just disregarding the ponce de leon fight as if it didnt happen. Saying that, i thought broner was better than he turned out to be, wasnt expecting him to lose to maidana.
      I wasnt on the matthyse hype train either, cause of his struggles against judah and alexander, picked garcia to beat him. The broner hype was definitely greater than the matthyese hype though, i remember broner making appearances on pound for pound lists after beating some bums at lightweight.

        Yea Broner to this day is still hyped on PBC and Showtime. Perhaps its his personality. Once Matty lost to Garcia that was pretty much it.

        I suppose. Either way the hype was equally annoying at least to me anyway.

          No way was broner more hyped than Lucas. 90% of people on here hated him. Just cause Larry made a ****** guess doesn't change that

          Plus broner actually has 2 world titles

              Broner and others have been reduced to fighting once a year now, so there's no way any of these people will become one. Boxing is not what it used to be now. There's no way there'll be another one.

                broner was suppose to be the next floyd. if that's not more hyped then i dont know what else to tell you. lucas was never hyped up to be on the same level as floyd. lucas was more like ruslan, his power was hyped up not his skills overall.

                  Next Floyd to who? Richard Schaefer was the one that went on tv and said Lucas is the next manny pacquiao lol. Lucas fans were picking him to beat Floyd before he lost to danny

                    He was the next Manny in the sense that he lost to the best guy he faced after his fans talked a lot of sh-t.
