      Sugar Ray. Thought he was all fluff. Still annoys me with those pitty-patta combinations.
      Prince. Never bought in. Total clown.
      Broner. Was sold. Eats up little guys. Yet to meet a big guy.
      Bhop. Does nothing. But always wins.
      Floyd/Whitaker. Expect them to always win. But never fight.
      Pacquiao. Thought was all kamikaze. End product not...always.

        Can't believe the amount of people that were sold on David Price

        I just thought of Kevin Mitchell. I didn't think he was going to be anything elite but I thought he had enough to win a world title at least. It's quite staggering now to think that he headlined a stadium show. Getting knocked out in 4 rounds by Ricky Burns really was the end of the line for me.

            Abner Mares loses one fight and suddenly he's a hype job? He has one of the best resumes in the sport. What has this world come to?

              I used to think Amir Khan was going to be a serious threat to anybody and now he's going life and death with fighters like Diaz

                Pavlik, Thought he would do well after he got the straps.....he feel off hard. I knew his skill was limited, but thought he could make a run and his power, and toughness would get him some good wins........still a fan, just disappointed.

                  What ever happened to Lemieux anyway. I would still love to see him fight.

                    Lucian Bute. Earlier in his career, he looked like Joe Calzaghe but with more power. But as the opposition got better, his punch output dropped and he changed his style a bit.

                      I wouldn't say Lamont Peterson was a hype job but I didn't expect him to fold like he did against Matthysse. Other than that Kassim Ouma and Sechew Powell. They weren't really hyped, I just thought they were better than they turned out to be.
