    Can some one please explain what "exposed" mean?

    Does it mean losing? Because every fighter has lost. Whether it was a legit lose or a questionable win. All of them. All the greats many times the L came from lesser opposition.

    This is boxing bumps and bruises. Wins and loses.

    Many times a good fighter loses there are other factors that come in to play. Personal problems, injuries, off nights, bad match up or even there opponent was on some PED. Being a bum, hype job or exposed is hardly the reason. Can you imagine writing pacquiao off as a hype job after his first loss. Or Ali, or maweather after Castillo 1. You would have missed out on great careers. Let's stop downing a fighter for Losing and maybe start giving credit to the guy that won. Every fighter has lost and the your flavor of the month is going to too.

    I'm not sure the people using the term "exposed" know what it means. Wilder for example. Wider is the kimbo slice of boxing. He can't get exposed. If anything wilder is exposing the heavy weight division. A back alley fighter koing actual boxers. Because let's be real. EVERYBODY that Wilder has beat is better than wilder.

    Sure this will fall on deaf ears, but by you claiming every boxer that loses is "exposed" then you're sayin they lost to a "bum". If that's the case then every fighter sucks and boxing is a horrible sport.

    Can you imagine you not getting a job after a interview and some one comes in the parking lot calling you "exposed" and picking apart your resume.

    You win some you lose some. The Saying used to be, "it's not how you fall it's how you get back up". Well now it seems you can't lose a fcking round. Let's get it together.

          when i use expose i dont mean lose. I use it as the lack of something. Whether it be a skill of toughness etc. So when PPL say Fury exposed Wilder they mean he brought forth the lack of the ability to adjust to Fury defense. Wilder showed he is only a one trick pony.

              Sure not problem. I'll use it in a sentence.

              Charlo was exposed as a hype job after being declared by the LDBC (Lions Den Boxing Cubs) as the middleweight boogie man, which Canelo and GGG were ducking.

              There.

                It means when a fighter's perceived skill is shown to be better than their actual skill.

                Prime example (other than Charlo) was when Ryan Garcia was hyping up a fight with Tank, and then struggled to get the decision against Morales.

                  Wilder wasn’t exposed though. Nobody thought he was a master pugilist, and he did better than Wlad did.

                  So how did he get exposed? By getting outboxed but landing two big equalixers? That’s what every boxing pundit expected to happen (one or the other, just so happens we got both)

                    Except Ryan is 20 years old, still learning. Charlo on the other hand is 28. Prime boxing age.

                    Charlo EXPOSED. See how that works out TS?
