Love is just not that good. When he was a prospect with only a few fights under his belt I saw him clearly lose to a scrub in a 4-rounder, but he was gifted the decision anyway. I wonder how many other highly touted prospects only have a 0 on their record because of dubious judging.

I wasn't that impressed with Love coming into this fight in the first place, nice left hook from Porky to finish him off ... can't believe I'm actually calling a fighter Porky.

People keep saying 'other people' were hyping Love. I haven't came across anyone who thought Love was any good.

LOL but true. I mean I can see he's a guy who's gonna win more fights than he loses by a fair margin cuz a lot of mfers suck really bad, but I never had a moment watching J'Leon fight where it was like seeing a young Roy, Floyd, Shane or whoever fight. And thats huge name kinda guys so maybe thats not even fair. When I saw Abner Mares fight his pro debut I was like this mfer is gonna be a champion one day. I never saw that or had that sorta moment with J'Leon.

It was the "Mayweather effect" and the TV companies had to push him as a result. To me he always looked like an athlete who became a boxer as opposed to a boxer with athletic traits

I know but its hard to say he was hype if no one thought nothing of him in the first place.

TV networks certainly thought much of him if they kept giving him chance after chance :)
I'm sure if we re-watch some of them fights we'll hear plenty of nut hugging from commentators as well.
