Admit times you've been taken in by the Hype

[VatoMulatto]

Haye vs Wlad. I really thought Haye would be too quick, explosive and heavy handed. I thought it was going to be an early KO by a hungry, motivated and confident Haye lol

[siablo14]

Jeff Lacy. I thought he was going to stretch Joe.

This.........

I thought Ruslan Provodkanov was going to be the next big thing but losing to Algieri got me off my high horse

I also thought Lucas Mattyhsse was going to wipe Danny Garcia out and I ate humble pie at the gym the next day

Even at the time I never got the hype about Lucas. He was obviously a dangerous fighter but there’s levels and good level fighters wouldn’t have had close fights with the likes of that version of Zab Judah. I felt Garcia was probably a notch above.


Then again I thought Victor Ortiz looked like a very good fighter destined for big things before the Maidana fight. But Ortiz did actually have some good attributes and even today probably has got offensive tools, but you don’t know someone’s heart or chin before it gets tested.

haye against wlad, thought the 'robot would malfunction'
lucas mathhesse, bought into his power
andre dirrell, liked his slick style and speed but a mental biatch

Dirrell still arguably beat Froch but I don’t think anybody had much sympathy for the result because he was flopping around on the floor at any opportunity.

I actually thought he edged it if you count the rounds

Even I thought Broner was going to be a great for a while, I also bought all the Verdejo hype...

[Fat_asian]

Deontay Wilder, Kermit cintron, smoke gainer, Shaun George after he beat Chris Byrd, Oscar on the road to redemption losing the second fight to Mosley, Seth Williams the great American hope at the time, David tua before the Lewis fight, and kassim ouma was kinda super hyped.

Wladimir Kiltschko did not play with David Haye, he just edged each round 'Infact out of the two fighters? Kiltschko was the most hurt, in the last round he was hanging on after a big right hand detonated upon him'.

David Haye would of sparked out Tyson Fury, if they had fought when planned.

[PRINCEKOOL]

The fight was a chess match, where both fighters cancelled each other out 'With Kiltschko just edging each rounds'. David Haye was not beaten up, he face was fine after the fight.

If USS Cunningham could catch and decked Fury, I have no doubt that David Haye would of done the same but more brutally. David Haye post career is damaged, those defeats that he suffered to Tony Bellew obliterated his core.

He is far too nice these days, during his punditry work 'Especially to Tyson Fury, a man who mocked him when he was genuinely struggling with career ending injuries'.

I don't like his punditry work.

Haye didn't win a single second of a single round, he came to survive and got played with for 12 rounds. Fact.

Fury would've battered any version of Haye, that's why Haye pulled out the fight twice with fake injuries.

Fury destroyed him in the build up and David decided that he didn't want it.

Just accept the fact that Tyson Fury is the greatest HW of this era, and Haye will tell you that.

Michael Morrer to be honest, I watched him destroy everyone at light heavyweight then his HW campaign looked great until he got chin checked by George. I would have loved to have seen him against Tommy Morrison, I think Tommy would have eventuality knocked his head into the second row but **** it would have been fun.
