not been on the site too long but some of the comments on here are unbelievable, get worse by the day.
Some from supposedly credible posters too. Just seen him called a modern day sugar ray leonard amongst other comments. A bad one the other day was how he would give GGG hell at 160 already.
But what makes my blood boil is the subtle arrogant comments, when people laugh it off that he could potentially be a hype job. WHats spence done that lacy hadnt done before fighting calzaghe? You dont know how fighters are going to react at the top level, you can predict but you just dont know.
The reason lacy was so hyped is because people were convinced he was the real deal.
People seemed pretty convinced j-rock was something special not long ago, well newsflash - he looked like **** when he fought someone who could fight back. Not much talk about him now, lets all pretend he wasnt hyped.
Bute was looking pretty good too wasnt he until he fought a solid fighter in froch, then we saw huge vulnerabilities. Because thats what happen when you fight someone who can fight back, vulnerabilities that werent on show suddenly appear. These defensive frailties arent on show when you are beating the crap out of bums and can just walk straight forward.
Does this happen often on this site when someone beats a couple of C-level scrubs? (in this case a kickboxer and 41 year old man).
Has there been anyone else more hyped? Im guessing people were absolutely convinced broner was the real deal after he beat some trash opponents too? Im also guessing its also some of the same posters....
Maybe its gone out of fashion to reserve judgement until fighting a top class fighter. As long as you stop a bum earlier than someone else did, thats the definitive proof that you are top level.
