If you compare it to George Foreman, the man some said he was the next coming of, it is a little underwhelming. But I do agree that it isn't that disappointing of a career for the average boxer.
That Froch - Buté fight was one of the most exciting I can remember watching- everyone was expecting Froch to get destroyed and he came out surprising everyone by going all out attack and just decimated Buté. I know people joke about the "90000 people at Wembley" but I think that was Froch's best performance.
Congratulations and well done Josh Taylor the "Tartan Tornedo", the pride of Scotland, and the Undisputed Champion of the World. Brilliant stuff love from Scotland!
@@ddrew1973 they most likely wanted this dude to openly talk about their political beliefs and if theyre not the belifs the left believes in then you get witch hunted
The hallmark of a self-conscious loser and a bully. Running his mouth during the build up, but when he realizes he's outclassed during the fight he quits. A real fighter would've kept going, O'Hara is just a bully.
Cooney was mishandled but he was no hype job. He was a legit boxer, of course lacking in defense but still a very strong puncher with some weapons and skill. The only boxers to beat him were champions at one time or another
This whole vid was a real stretch, and ending it by equating Duane Bobick to Gerry Cooney was the absurd cherry on top of a very dubious sundae. He lumped in a whole list of guys only the most extreme boxing fans would've even heard of, with a 5-year undefeated world champ, and called them all hype jobs as if they were one in the same. Then he closed with a guy whose name no one has uttered in 40 years, only to equate him with THE MOST famous name in the entire video. Really, truly, an embarrassing video for a guy who usually puts out good content.
@@traveltheglobe18 Definitely. One of the highest bits of praise imo is Foreman calling him one of the top 3 hardest punchers he faced, which considering that it only went less than 2 rounds before Foreman put him away, is saying a lot.
07:05 that was one of the best boxing tournaments ever. The best in the division fighting one another. That's when Andre Ward was in his prime. Boxing needs more tournaments like that.
@@skjor1989 yeah. So idk what rustió was alluding too. Although the competitiveness has gone down within the last few years, as in decades previous, boxers would fight for pride and cuz they love the sport. Now it’s just about money. But even with the annoying money fights, there has been some amazing fighters, fights, and tournaments that have emerged, and the Inoue is a strong example.
Ohara Davies, Courage Tshabalala, Lucian Bute, and Duane Bobick. It's like a test question where they ask you what name doesn't belong. Bute losing to Froch was one of endless 3-1 favorites losing. It would seem to fall short of a hype job meeting reality, given Bute's body of work. And the win meant enough to Carl that it propelled him to a series of huge-paying fights. And rightfully so. It was a huge win, maybe the best moment of his career. The best moment of a Hall of Famer's career doesn't come against hype-jobs.
That record reminds me of the old days of MMA, before there were means of proving a record, dudes would claim records like 400-0 in "underground" matches lmao
@Andre Hpunkt bruh... Im talking about the days of UFC 1, early 90s and such, the internet was barely a thing back then, nevermind Sherdog and Fightfinder
@Andre Hpunkt the fact that an obese cab driver claimed a record of 400-0 in UFC 8 tells me that you're wrong. Back in the day there were a lot of ways of faking a record, just bullshitting your way through any question asked was pretty effective back then

Yes he is because he was considered as the best super middleweight at the time I remember alot of people were hyping him up saying he would KO Adonis Stevenson, Andre Ward, Froch, Pascal... turned out to be a B class fighter when everybody thought he was a A class fighter.
@@ba10mob69 It's a completely legit observation. You have 3 textbook definitions of hypejobs, then a millionaire who was champ for years. It took a really good super middleweight in Froch to beat him. It's a great win for Froch because of how highly thought of Bute was. You didn't bet on Froch and you can't go back in time and impose what you think now on what was back then. No one has to prove him to be perfect or without faults to say he should stand far above the other three men on this list, which is what this gentleman said. You have 2000 super middleweights. A guy gets to the top 3-4 and you're talking about B-class lol. Guy was in the top .005 of his profession and that's not A-class. You got a funny way of looking at this sport dude.
In fairness, he does observe at the start of the video that the actual level of the guys being defined as "hypejob" varies considerably, the important thing being the relative merit of a fighter when compared to the hype surrounding him. Bute was a world level fighter of course, so not a real "hypejob" - his reputation was excessive at one point though.
Immediate thumbs up without even thinking. Your commentary is always on point, and the selected clips are perfect. Great job as always. I hope you have a good one coming for Mayweather vs. Paul.
“He was plagued by a weak chin, so who did the boxing world think he should fight next? Ken Norton of course” if I was him I would’ve might have retired LOL. Ken Norton can knockout a fucking elephant.
@@dave9497 - While I don't argue that Ali got some generous judging, I certainly wouldn't ever say he was "beat like a rented mule". Also, while certainly not washed up, Norton neve fought the best Ali
In fairness to Ohara Davies his second loss to Jack Catterall does look too bad. Jack has a lot of talent and definitely a step above domestic level. As for Josh Taylor - he is world class
If you didn't notice, Ken Norton broke Ali's jaw. Even well known heavy punchers like Sonny Liston, Frazier, Foreman, and hell, even Ernie Shaver didn't manage to break it. Although come to think of it, theirs probably contributed to his Parkinson
I wouldn’t call bute a hype job. He was a legit champ who was fading by the time he fought froch, also Cooney while not the best was much better than the “white hopes” of that era.

Cooney was a decent fighter who proved his worth by going 10 rounds with a prime Larry Holmes. Lucian Bute was a skilled fighter who had a weak chin and a weaker resume who got totally destroyed the first time he fought a decent fighter. I'd say Bute qualifies as a hype job tbh.
@@dantheman4838 People hyperbolize way too much nowadays. Only if you count world class as "decent" can you make the claim that he got destroyed by the first decent fighter he faced. Bute was never a world class elite, but he beat a whole bunch of decent and good fighters in his career. You insult those guys more than Bute with claims like that.
@@rusty0303 Its all relative of course. However Bute did nothing after losing to Froch, despite being hailed as the best in the division before the fight. I guess I'm just saying that Bute deserves to be on the list more than Cooney.
I love boxing and I love mma so the fact 26-4 is underwhelming is so ridiculous... Boxing has that mentality of you can't loose at all. It is so confusing and weird. 26-4 would be one hell of a mma record.
Great video as always, but Gerry Cooney was pretty far from being a hype job... the man annihilated Ken Norton, destroyed Ronnie Lyle, and definitely was no walk in the park for Larry Holmes. He would've killed Duane Bobick.
@@brianred7146 I don't even know what the guy is talking about when he says "racial exclusivity was already a thing of the past" lol. It's definitely true that white boxers get overhyped (see Tommy Morrison). But when the audience is mostly white and boxing is dominated by blacks, it's understandable.
Bute wasn't hype man, wtf? he was a world champ with tons of defenses. What exactly would a fighter have to do in your eyes to be more than hype, if being a longtime world champ with a good resume and plenty of defenses aren't enough? He just passed his prime like every other fighter does, he was 32 when he lost to Froch.
The idea of using the philly shell is to protect your face and sometimes fighters just think it's just about the angle of the shoulder but it's also about hip movement and the ability to pivot quickly and also pull back out of range....but apart from all that ohara was perfect ..lol

A very nice video again can't wait for part 6
Hands down the best Boxing channel on TH-cam!
Loved it when Bute got KO'd...
"Have you seen my fight with George Groves?" --Karl Froch
“I beat George groves in front of a crowd of 80,000”
Was that the one where the "we can all pull abaat" handshake happened 😂😂
@No. Body to be fair mate callum Smith beat a spent George groves, ithink it would have been a different man froch faced
@No. Body I agree to be honest, however I think prime calzaghe bests them all with sheer volume
@No. Body you maybe right dude, I suppose that's the beauty of these fantasy match ups, our favourite can allways win 🤣🤣
"with one notable absence"....the audio. Brilliant editing.
Fantastic work, as always!
Legend!
I love boxing and I love mma so the fact 26-4 is underwhelming is so ridiculous... Boxing has that mentality of you can't loose at all. It is so confusing and weird.
26-4 would be one hell of a mma record.
Boxing legends you the best boxing channel on TH-cam, don’t leave us
The video quality is excellent. You editing really captures what makes boxing boxing
Great video as always, but Gerry Cooney was pretty far from being a hype job... the man annihilated Ken Norton, destroyed Ronnie Lyle, and definitely was no walk in the park for Larry Holmes. He would've killed Duane Bobick.
Seems like this guy is super woke and just looks to blast white guys Cooney was a legit top 10 HW at the time, maybe even top 5
@@ptccombatfitness6726 yup. I like the content but the racial angle is unnecessary and eye rolling woke.
not to mention George Foreman himself named Cooney as one of the hardest punchers he'd ever faced
@@brianred7146 I don't even know what the guy is talking about when he says "racial exclusivity was already a thing of the past" lol.
It's definitely true that white boxers get overhyped (see Tommy Morrison). But when the audience is mostly white and boxing is dominated by blacks, it's understandable.
Bute wasn't hype man, wtf? he was a world champ with tons of defenses. What exactly would a fighter have to do in your eyes to be more than hype, if being a longtime world champ with a good resume and plenty of defenses aren't enough? He just passed his prime like every other fighter does, he was 32 when he lost to Froch.
The idea of using the philly shell is to protect your face and sometimes fighters just think it's just about the angle of the shoulder but it's also about hip movement and the ability to pivot quickly and also pull back out of range....but apart from all that ohara was perfect ..lol
Yessss!!! I missed your content!
