Kovalev - Biggest hypejob of all times?

[daggum]

That is Unfair! That is the most overused Phrase on this forum is "Hype Job" you guys call EVERYBODY that even guys who are currently World Champions and considered some of the best P4P Fighters in all of boxing some of you guys even try to label them "Hype Jobs"

well broner was on the p4p list so sometimes a hype job does sneak through

Kovalev did the booty dew tonight.

only hypejobs do the booty dew.

Not a hype job but over rated especially on here

Cleverly
B-Hop ( who was a senior citizen)
A faded Pascal (2)

Doesn’t qualify as a solid gold resume . Props for always going on the road butnhe was over hyped

I think Kovalev's story is sort of reflective of the way boxings become now. He started in his mid 20's, didn't start fighting top competition until 30, and then fought twice a year from that point. Sooner or later the physical decline's going to come, for most boxers it's early to mid 30's, and he hasn't done half of what he could have achieved. He's now hit the physical wall and hasn't achieved half of what he could have

Another HBO JOB bites the dust

I have no dog in this fight

Lets be honest for a sec


Kovalev won Ward 1st fight.

Anyone saying otherwise is a ****** and can't count for ****.

[Madison Boxing]

if he was such a hypejob why do u guys rate wards win over him so highly?

[abracada]

Who's his best win?

A 73 year old Bhop?

Living off one knockdown of Ward in a fight he was completely schooled in after round 5.

Then proceeded to get nearly ko'd by a pillow puncher in Ward and QUIT in the rematch.

Didn't take a rocket scientist to work out if Ward could hurt him and make him quit what would someone who could actually throw a hurtful punch do to him?

He's lucky Chickenson ducked him or else he'd have ended the hypejob there and then.

Definition of a hypejob was "Krusher"

Wouldn’t go that far.

Overrated - may be, but even then he was a beast and feared.

Ward took his soul.

I don't think you can really call a guy who reached the peak of his division a "hype job", but I do think he's been found out now. I think his performances in the ring were affected by his reputation, as in his opponents used to be afraid of him and fought cautiously, but now that his reputation as an unstoppable russian psycho monster has been dispelled after being beat, guys are having more courage to stand up and take the fight to him.

Explains why he ducked Stevenson for so long he was packing glass quitter
