Fighters overhyped from a single KO victory.

Name some fighters that come to mind that became vastly overrated after a single brutal KO win, and it proved to be a fluke.

Samuel Peter "vs. Jeremy Williams"
Calvin Brock "vs. Zuri Lawrence"
Rahman "vs. Lewis"


Name some others.

 

James Toney over Nunn.

 

Antonio Tarver

 

Peter is the perfect one. a KO over a glass chinned jeremy williams and all of a sudden he's this unstopablle monster with a power that's a mix of tyson and foreman. what a joke. shows how desperate heavyweight division is for a star

 

I've never been hyped on Peter. The only time I rooted for him was on FNF against Julius Long so I could watch a 7'2 guy get KTFO. If Peter is one dimensional, Tito is Pernell Whitaker.

He LOST the first James Toney fight and then won the 2nd, but that's not saying much.

 

what the fuck does that mean? :dunno:

 

he means people call tito one dimensional and tito compared to peter is a pernell whitaker

 

I think you know what that means::

or should I just have said, Compared to Peter, Tito looks like Pernell Whitaker.

 

not a KO, but golota got a lot of hype after getting DQed by bowe twice in a row.

 

and rightfully so

 

rightfully so? That was his entire career....two dq losses to BOWE...what else did he ever accomplish? :dunno:

 

McCline vs. Grant

Guinn vs. Grant

 

W12 Chris Byrd
W12 John Ruiz
KO6 McBride
W10 Tim WItherspoon
W10 Jesse Ferguson
KO5 Samson Poucha
KO8 Dannel Nicholson
W12 Mike Mollo

and on and on and on and on..........

 

cute...but no....

Draw CHRIS BYRD
TKO 1 by Brewster
L 12 John Ruiz
RAN into the Locker room trying to get away from MIKE TYSON
TKO 10 by GRANT
KO 1 by LEWIS
DQ Lose to BOWE x 2

Poucha? Ferguson? :doh::laughing::laughing::laughing: MOllo wow that is impressive... Witherspoon was like a 50 years old....::

 

Golota was a talent, but had done nothing to justify the hype he got for quitting in every big fight he was ever in.

Mayorga is my choice. A career built off of one significant KO win.

 

Rahman blew it.. he won and then got cocky and lazy but IMO it was no fluke.. he schooled Lemmon like a bitch!

 

so you think the rematch was a fluke?

 

David Tua after John Ruiz and Joe Mesi after DaVarryll Williamson are easy ones

Perhaps Randall Bailey-Carlos Gonzalez could count

 

Mesi is still undefeated and dominated Jirov until his brain got the better of him. How can you consider him overhyped? You never know what would have happened.

 

Because I saw him fight Monte Barrett?

 

I think he landed more powershots on Bowe than any heavyweight has ever landed in any heavyweight championship fight monitored by Compubox.

People hate on Andrew....and I have my criticisms of him too...but the guy was phenomenally talented and what he did to Bowe should never, ever be underestimated or dismissed.

Nobody- NO-BOD-EE...ever beat the shit out of Bowe the way Golota did.

Of course they had to start a steroids rumour after that because obviously no cracker could ever beat a black man like Bowe like that unless he had an unfair advantage.

 

Mesi was always brilliantly dangerous for a few rounds. Make no mistake about it, Mesi could fight. I never liked him personally because he was never in shape, but for a few rounds he could roll with the best of them. He just never got into shape and it cost him his career.

 

Basically..

I mean, no doubt that Lemmon proved to be more consistant over his career but on the first fight they were both ready and we saw the results.

after the first Rahman just partied and was SOOOOO cocky that he was not even worried about it and Lemmon was serious and Lemmon got him.

But..

if both equally prepared, Rahman beats Lemmon every time

 

Why do you hate Lemmon so much LOK? Did he bite you in the COK like that soccer guy?

 

I just think he is the most over-rated champ in the history of boxing

 

I thought LOK meant Lennox Our King?????:dunno:

 

He Went Out like a BITCH Against the Best Guys he Fought, "Showed Heart" Against 2 TOMATO Cans & Kaliber's been on his NUTS Ever Since...

Nunn over Kalambay.
