why does losing to another professional boxer who is Good make you a hype?????? have u ever sparred in this sport? some of the ATG (majority of them) have losses, sense when did losing a fight make u a bum or overrated im really trying to understand the logic. Spence is good, he Kos his opponents, people cant be excited??????? Now broner was overhyped IMO with the Floyd comparrisons etc

Let see U.S.A is on top of HW ( Deontay Wilder) LH with Andre Ward, 154 is all U.S.A ; welterweight is Swift-Thurman, at Jr. Welter the lineal champion is the American Bud Crawford, 135 we got Mikey G. and Robert Easter holding half the belts....hmmm we got Sosa at 130 and Russel at 126...Magdaleno at 122 ...damn this is getting really hard....whats so great about the UK again?

You can tell UK boxing ain't **** when they make a big deal out of beating Jeff Lacey

Saying Russell Jr was hyped is revisionist or made up history, he was ridiculed for his TBA opponents. I'm surprised you haven't said Seth Mitchell is hyped.

Why do you get mad when people hype up fighters you don't like? Spence is young, exciting and willing to challenge himself.... Someone like that deserves some hype. Don't use Teddy Atlas as an excuse to make a gazillion threads about the dude. It's kind of sad how you're on this hate rampage, everyday it's a new thread about Spence losing.

yeah theres some top american fighers but for some reason you throw hype on certain prospects and ignore the good ones that youve already got e.g thurman, mikey garcia

BoxingScene Staff Predictions - Jeff Lacy vs. Joe Calzaghe

http://www.boxingscene.com/boxingscene-staff-predictions-jeff-lacy-vs-joe-calzaghe--3266

The biggest fight in the super middleweight division since Roy Jones Jr. met James Toney in 1994, is taking place on Saturday in the MEN Arena in Manchester, England. It is very rare in today's boxing world, to see two undefeated champions clashing to settle the issue of who is the best fighter in their weight class. The IBF super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy (21-0, 17 KOs), of St. Petersburg, Fla., will make the fifth defense of his title against Joe Calzaghe (40-0, 31 KOs), of Newbridge, Wales, by way of Hammersmith, England, who is making the 18th defense of his WBO super middleweight title. While most view this fight as the signature bout that makes Lacy a superstar in the sport, others feel Calzaghe is not going away quietly. Most American fans don't know much about Calzaghe, and a few facts should be known. Calzaghe won his title on Oct. 11, 1997, and defended it 17 times - which makes him the longest reigning champion in boxing. Another fact is that Calzaghe has not lost a bout since starting his amateur career at age 13. The guy can hit, brawl and has shown a decent chin. Calzaghe is better than most think, and the fight should be explosive as both men predict a knockout. The staff of BoxingScene comes together to voice their opinions, predictions and analysis on the big fight. Hank Kaplan - Calzaghe is a smart fighter in the ring, but I think Lacy is too much for him. I like Lacy in this fight. I think Lacy should stop him. Tim Smith - This is the toughest fight in the career of either man, but I like Lacy because of his strength and power. I like Lacy by decision.

Nobody knows who Lacey is here in America. So you reference a article with staff picks from maybe 30 years ago ( I dont know I was not born at the time ) but its 2017 bruh.
