And to an extent, Matthysse by Garcia because his fans were acting like Lucas was the second coming of Tommy Hearns. I wouldn't say he was "exposed" but that fight really brought people back to reality.
How Lucian Bute is not on this list is beyond me. Odd though how it's all black fighters.
Odd how it is all black fighters..yet we see the mods jump into certain other fighters threads and either A. ban the race bait or ******s posting B. Delete the thread. Somehow this thread is still up..But let the little guy speak his mind along with the rest of the idiots that went along with him.
Anyway back on topic without bias, Bute Vs Froch, Broner Vs Maidana, Garcia Vs Khan, Maidana Vs Ortiz, Chavez JR vs Martinez.
We've had the good fortune of seeing many overpaid hypejobs over the years get exposed and humiliated.... from Jermain Taylor, Andre Berto, Adrien Broner, Lamont Peterson.... so who is your pick?
peterson was a hype job? News to me.
I'll give you Broner and possibly Berto (actually had a decent run) but not Taylor. The guy holds two wins over Hopkins and against decent names like Ouma and Spinks.
Yes, when people were hyping him as the next great MW it was crazy but at his best, he was most definitely an elite, top, world class boxer, sadly his chin and stamina let him down against Froch and Pavlik.
Nothing recently made me happier than Froch ending the Bute hype so brutally. I don't hold anything against Bute himself, but Froch is my favorite fighter and people were trying to crown Bute the best super middleweight for absolutely no reason.
Wonderful, wonderful day when Froch whooped his ass.

There is no way you can call Jermain Taylor a hypejob. He was a very good fighter who flamed out quick. It happens. He earned his respect and status.
