Biggest hypejob of recent times?

[bojangles1987]

Seth Mitchell? What's that bum doing on there?

Did anyone think he was good`?

Arreola KO1 was one of the easiest predictions I've ever made.

[bojangles1987]

It has to be Broner.

Not only were fans calling the next Mayweather but actual people in Boxing aswell. Infact they were saying he's better than Mayweather.

I will never forget on Ringside when Johnny Nelson, Glen McCrory and Spencer Oliver aka The 3 Dummies were saying that Broner at age 23 is a better version than Mayweather. Followed by Johnny "I literally have no clue" Nelson talking about how easily Broner dominated Ponce De Leon. They were talkng about how his Defense is as good or better than Mayweather's except that Broner has power and an amazing offense Aswell. Crazy.

Even after Broner edged passed an old Malignaggi people were STILL hyping him. God knows why.

Then Maidana was called a cherry pick, and Broner was going to "brutalise" him, "Destroy" him and "Massacre" him. A new term "Chino'd" was going to be coined after the beating Broner was going to put on him. It baffled me then and it still does now.

It wasn't until Maidana batters him that the hype truly stopped.

This seems to be what people are forgetting about the Broner hype. We're not just talking NSB like with Matthysse. The actual boxing world was calling him the next Mayweather and the future of the sport.

Errol Spence is legit man. He's really good.



Yeah but I don't think any boxing fans really took him seriously. Deontay Wilder and David Price were hyped.

Wilder might still turn out to be hype imo. The jury is still out, but he's better than I originally thought.

You can't really be labeled a hype job until someone exposes you or you lose a fight you should win. Wilder hasn't lost yet and won as an underdog. There is no way anyone can call Wilder a hype job at this point. Probably not even if he loses to Povetkin or Wlad. Only if he loses to someone like Arreola..

Broner easily not sure why Matthysse is in discussion he is quite clearly world class and has a solid resume. What was supposedly exposed about him exactly? Other than he turned out to be in fact human and not a machine as claimed..

I'd say David Price a solid second, he was tipped for huge things in the near future and many was saying he was a very legit threat to Wladimir.

[NEETzsche]

how can it be matthysse when he just beat the dog**** out of the guy who almost killed timothy bradley?

[BWC]

Broner without hesitation. My god what epic hype he received. He sucks!!

[KO'er]

If Broner stayed at 135lbs he could have become a top champion. However the move up to 147lbs totally derailed the hype train.

[Mr. Philadel]

no it's not, the door is closed. Dude is too hard headed to make the necessary adjustments to be great IMO.

True...he is a little knuckle head mutha****a!!...I just HOPE he can straighten up before it's too late

It has to be Broner.

yeah now THAT's crazy...I didn't know that!!..WOW!!

This seems to be what people are forgetting about the Broner hype. We're not just talking NSB like with Matthysse. The actual boxing world was calling him the next Mayweather and the future of the sport.

good point!!...reading through this thread is bringing it all back...the AB hype was crazy...real crazy!!

Broner easily not sure why Matthysse is in discussion he is quite clearly world class and has a solid resume. What was supposedly exposed about him exactly? Other than he turned out to be in fact human and not a machine as claimed..

I'd say David Price a solid second, he was tipped for huge things in the near future and many was saying he was a very legit threat to Wladimir.

Exactly!!...Lucas is the truth....nothing fictional about his status....I think people got caught up with him being the heavy fav against Swift and coming up short....they'd rather take credit from Lucas than to give some to Swift

[BrometheusBob.]

All these guys were touted as killers at one stage. i'm not interested in people who everyone knew wasn't that good like Khan, Chavez jr etc

Who's the worst offender?

Adrien Broner
Lucian Bute
David Price
Seth Mitchell
Andre Berto

Adrien Broner head over heels. Not because he sucks, which he does, but more so because he was really being hyped up. We heard so much about how big Adrien Broner was going to be.

Other nominees: Tyson Fury and the guy in your avi are hype trains waiting to charge right into a brick wall. Bute is up there as well.

I still think Matthysse and Khan lived up closer to their expectations than people are making it sound.
