A hype-job is a fighter that receives a lot of support from their promoter/network and the alphabet organizations to the point where it seems like they're the only one in their respective division that matters. A hype-job is a fighter that benefits from favorable match-making. A hype-job is a fighter who has few top/relevant names on his resume and is forgiven for it, due to their star-power/charisma/ability to be marketed. A hype-job tends to have numerous guys trying to fight him because they are aware that he is a product of the hype machine and desperately want some of that hype rubbed off on them. A hype-job tends to have an undeserved ranking when compared to his contemporaries.
Not all fighters match this description exactly, but some come mighty close to hitting all of those points. I think there are plenty of over-hyped fighters, but few "hype-jobs". Last edited by kiaba360; 01-09-2013 at 11:33 PM. |

WBA strips Daniel Geale of title for fighting Anthony Mundine instead of Gennardy Golovkin The World Boxing Association announced that Daniel Geale will be stripped of his “Super Champion” status and Gennady Golovkin is named as their “sole WBA middleweight champion”. President Gilberto Mendoza made the declaration at the WBA’s 91st Annual Convention in Jakarta. Geale won the WBA “Super Champion” title when he unified the WBA and IBF titles by winning a decision over existing WBA “Super Champion” Felix Sturm on SEPTEMBER 1 in Oberhausen, Germany. However, because of Sturm’s long overdue mandatory obligation to Golovkin, the WBA declared the winner of Sturm/Geale bout must face the winner of Golovkin/Grzegorz Proksa by DECEMBER 31. Golovkin defeated Proksa by stopping him in the fifth round in a very impressive performance. Geale has since declined to face Golovkin announcing he will fight Anthony Mundine in JANUARY 2013 in Australia. http://www.************.com/2012/11/...pped-of-title/ |

Golovkin and Rigondeaux have practically zero hype. Sure, there are some fans on the internet on a hardcore boxing fan site but that's it. No one knows these guys. |
