name some 'boogeymen' that boxing fans have hyped to the masses only to get exposed

[IronDanHamza]

I think Jeff Lacy holds the crown for this.

Tavoris Cloud is another one but his hype wasn't really that much.

Sam Peter had a good 3 months as a monster

Was Cloud really held that high?

Chavez Jr. was never a boogeyman.

Obviously, but that was his fans perspective of him. It wasn't that long ago when his fanboys were saying Sergio was scared to death.

Hell Berto was never a monster either

Tyson - exposed 6X
Duran - exposed 16X
Marvin Halger - exposed 3X
Sonny Liston - Exposed 4X
George Foreman - Exposed 5X

Lol, good point... Ali was exposed by Frazier... Tyson was exposed by some 'journeyman' called Douglas. Sugar Ray Robinson was exposed 19 times.

There seems to be some ******ed logic among modern boxing 'fans' that if you lose a fight (even a close one) you've been exposed. These people should really follow some other sport like... no maybe they should stop following sports altogether.

Matthysse is a hype-job, the same applies for Garcia ! they will never be remembered as elite boxers, but GGG is a hyped-talent, he can prove himself !

[SlyDominican]

another one people forget is Mares who was somehow treated as a solid boxer-mover,yet when he actually fought it was nothing but windmill punches and low blows ,

i think GGG, and lomancheko is next,loma is no Rigo and look how fast top rank is trying to push this guy,laughable

not modern fans, only Floyd fan boys, and now Broner fans. aka the swagaholics who care more about swag and being undefeated and I still gots my OH logic.

James Kirkland.

Dude is undefeated with Anne Wolfe in his corner so I dont see your point. He had a falling out with Anne before the Ishida fight then went with somebody who tried to turn him into a boxer and it just isnt Kirkland especially after being trained like an animal his whole career.

Dude fought Angulo in his own hometown who was the baddest and most feared Mexican at 154 and Kirkland sparked him out. If anything it was exposed he needs Anne Wolfe he could still be champion at 154.
