Biggest hype job in recent memory: Lacy or Broner?

[Dr.Pepper]

-Lacy was the very definition of a hype job & a schooling waiting to happen, he was touted as the SMW Tyson but was publicly humiliated & ruined & subsequently went onto do nothing.. Last seen getting whopped by unknown Cubans!

-Broner was supposedly the heir apparent to FMJ & the next p4p superstar yet the writing was on the wall long before the brutalising loss to Maidana.. Two of his better wins up until this point (Deleon & Malinaggi) were both questionable decisions & he has since found his level struggling with the likes of Taylor!

These two are probably THE two standout US hype jobs of recent years who's fall from grace was so dramatic & so laughably obvious long before the expose' happened for anyone with an ounce of boxing knowledge!

Every nation has it's fair share of them but Tyson & Floyd?! Come on now...

Who was more overhyped?

I picked Khan...

How is Adrien Broner a Hype job??? The closet hate is real

Biggest hype job in recent memory?

Golovkin and it ain't even close.

At the very least, Lacy fought Calzaghe and Broner moved up two weight classes and fought Maidana.

Exactly WHO has the Triple Duck ever fought?

Canelo. Failed to impress against Trout, got schooled by Floyd, and looked terrible against Lara.

Gary Russell Jr.

This guy was being hyped up then gets completely outboxed by a guy with 1 pro fight. LOL.

Who was hyping him up? Some people were excited about him, but most said he had proved nothing against anyone. And a guy with "1 pro fight" is way oversimplifying WHO that guy was.

For me I'm gonna have to say Ortiz or Berto in recent memory. Those guys actually made it to the big stage, got some huge paydays and sadly did not live up to the expectations.

Matthysse.


He had the entire forum eating lizard meat and singing Argentinean ballads...






And then his eye orbit gave out. Cracked...

Canelo. Failed to impress against Trout, got schooled by Floyd, and looked terrible against Lara.

Canelo too. He came out like a ginger Chavez with Mariachi band and all and then... Floyd happened to him.



He looked lost, afraid and confused. B side came for him and he went without a struggle.



Poetry type shyt...

How is Adrien Broner a Hype job??? The closet hate is real

Because he was hyped up as the heir to mayweathers throne by beating up on midgets like eloy perez, gavin rees etc. Its really not that difficult to understand.

How is Adrien Broner a Hype job??? The closet hate is real

because he is supposed to be a 3 time champ..but his resume and performances say otherwise...

nevermind the young star talk...

Maidana took the trash out for us with Broner & Ortiz...
