True or False: Broner is a bigger hype job than Provodnikov?

So who's the next hypejob to be exposed? No wonder they're all going back fighting nobodies.

so? you didn't answer the question brush I voted false

Doesn't even add up bro it was a 10 round fight. Do you mean 97-93 ? Or did you hand out a couple 10-8's? I meant 96-94 my bad.

who the fvck has Provo beaten? That's not the question Larry. Both have gotten quite a bit more hype than they deserve, who's the bigger hype-job?

Broner 97-95 Doesn't even add up bro it was a 10 round fight. Do you mean 97-93 ? Or did you hand out a couple 10-8's?

What was your scorecard for Broner/PDL brush? Broner 97-95

They both lost alot of their luster. Both need to win a big one to get my appreciation.

Provodnikov hasn't beaten anyone, Most idiots will say Alvarado is his best win yet Alvarado isn't jack sh1t, Alvarado beat Rios and Rios isn't jack sh1t either. Broner has beaten Demarco, Malignaggi, and Ponce De Leon. I think broner got a gift against PDL, brush!

Interesting question. Broner was more hyped, but also achieved more thus far. He's also younger. So it's kinda even for me.

Oh.. yeah. And in addition to my post above there also sems to be a difference in perception of what being a 'hypejob' ( of either the 'fan favourite' or 'media darling' type) actually means about the fighter. Some people mean that they're simply a bad / low quality fighter who is ONLY getting recognition because of the attention they recieve from fans / boxing media. Other use the term to refer to a fighter who they feel may or may not be good but is recieving fan / media atention in EXCESS of what their accomplishments warrant. Again, there's two quite distinct ways in which the term is being used but as long as we don't bother to agree on a definition there should be nothing to get in the way of the flaming we all love so much.:firedevil

How the hell is this even a question? Adrien Broner was top 5 p4p at one point. People called him the next Floyd Mayweather. Ruslan Provodnikov has never, ever, ever had hype anywhere close to that.

They're both good fighters. Not the best, but good. Threads like this are just lame.

I was hoping to hear how Broner had rededicated himself with no more inappropriate comments, a cleaner lifestyle and then I read somewhere as recently as a week ago that he is partying across the country being paid to attend night clubs. It sounds like if he was told be could be paid half the price to be an entertainer, he would chose that over boxing in a split second. He needs to ground himself and find his center, find what means the most the most to him. Sounds like the kid already found it. I'm in no way a Broner fan but I also don't like to see a young man waste his talents. Let's hope he ain't slipped too far if he should choose to re-dedicate himself.

I find this issue of 'Hype' and 'hypejobs' confusing. It's seems people mean (at least) two very different things. For me 'Hype' is something that happens in the wider world - Broadcaters spending money on advertising a fighter, affilated boxing writers going out of their way to plug them, announcers making sure the fighters' name is constantly mentioned whether they're fighting on a card or not. Some though seem to call a groundswell of opinion on Boxing Forums by the same name... a fighter who generates a lot of interest on 'Scene (or 'other' forums) will often be described as being 'hyped' just by being talked about a lot by (if you'll forgive the term) us boxing geeks, even if being largely unnoticed by the boxing mainstream media. I ain't trying to criticise just pointing out that it seem that people routinely argue at cross purposes when talking about the isue of hype. Under my definitions: Broner = Big Hype Provodnikov = small hype Golovkin = Big Hype Kovalev = small hype (at least until quite recently) Just saying. Hardcore fan popularity 'fan favourites' and excessive media promotion are two different things in my mind and from reading the thread it appears that the same dichotomy exists on the forum. It might help if we were all talking about the same thing.

Broner has bragged on himself to the extreme for years now while Ruslan does not brag much on himself. Broner has had about ten times the media hype as Ruslan for a much longer time so it's really no contest. I think Ruslan would beat Broner in a close exciting fight.
