          Lucien Bute. I picked him to beat Froch and think he might have in Canada. Not just because the judges would be on his side but for the fact that he feels comfortable there. He had fought at home for like 30 straight fights, whether in Canada or Romania.

          I think fighting in Froch's backyard messed him up. It's neither here nor there, I expected much more from Bute....I don't think he is a hype job but I thought he was much tougher mentally than he apparently is.

            Same. Jorge Linares for me. He wasn't a hype job, he was just unproven, and it turned out he is a little fragile. Not any more so than Khan, but WAY more talented and skilled than Khan.

            I really thought he was destined for greatness though.

            Frequent injuries, and a poorly managed career in Japan really killed what chance he had though.

Linares on the other hand, he'd be world class. Khan has a better chin than Linares, not only is it better, he recovers better as well.
              Linares recovers fine... its his skin that doesn't hold up.

                  He's only lost once to a great fighter.... He's got a huge fight coming up, the "Canadian Super Fight" lol. Give him one more shot, a fighter with only one loss being called a hypejob is a bit premature too me.

                  But then again... Seth mitchell.

                    Victor Ortiz, who I still maintain is a good fighter who ran into a series of bad luck, but isn't the future fighter I originally billed him as. The funny thing is initially I didn't like him and was hoping somebody would whoop his ass but I didn't think it would happen anytime soon, and when it happened (Maidana) I was very disappointed about it.

                      I also had hopes for Arreola and gave him a shot to be a Klit Bro......yeah, there goes my credibility on here I guess.
