Adrien Broner : Having faced both Julio Diaz and Adrien Broner, Shawn Porter recently said that Diaz is a much tougher fighter than Broner. Since many don't rate Diaz above B level, perhaps it's fair to say Broner is C level? Many see Broner actually losing 5 fights but getting gifts from the judges on 3 of those.
Andre Berto : Lost to Victor Ortiz, who was knocked out by Khan in 2 rounds as an amateur. Ortiz was also stopped by Maidana and even Josesito Lopez as a pro and surprisingly even Mayweather was able to stop Ortiz, although with the assistance of a premeditated suckerpunch.
Saul Alvarez: Although Alvarez has fought some very good opposition for his age, some believe he has lost more fights than his record suggests.
Shawn Porter : Got a draw with Julio Diaz in his first fight, although many thought Diaz won easily. Since many don't rate Diaz above B level, perhaps Porter should be categorized in the same way? Porter also lost a razor close fight to B level fighter Kell Brook and won a highly controversial decision against Alexander, which most people thought he clearly lost.
Artur Abraham: Lost against every A-level fighter he's been in with but some of his supporters have recently claimed that Abraham might be competitive against Degale. Wishful thinking for an overrated fighter?
Kell Brook : With only a single half-respectable opponent (Porter) on his entire record of 35 fights, Brook is in desperate need of fighting decent opponents but he seems to very regularly back out of fights once contracts are signed or during negotiations (as seen recently with Rios, Chaves and Alexander to name a few).
James Kirkland : Perhaps goes without saying at this point. At one time a highly touted prospect but it seems Kirkland just hasn't got what it takes to be higher than C level.
Deontay Wilder: Although Wilder looked terrific against Stiverne, it's now been revealed that Stiverne made a cataclysmic mistake during training camp by firing his nutritionist and eating very poorly. Would Wilder have beaten a 100% Stiverne?
Vasyl Lomachenko: With typical network hype, HBO recently labelled Lomenchenko as possibly the p4p number 1 fighter even though he lost to Salido, a fighter with 12 loses.
Floyd Mayweather Jr : Very publicly ducked Amir Khan 4 times and astonishingly hasn't fought an elite fighter in their prime (without weight-draining) for 15 years since Corrales! Is his entire record an elaborate illusion concealing a much lower level fighter than we thought and is this the reason he continuously backed away from the Khan fight?
Being this salty can't be healthy.
I worry for you FlatLine.
I'm just speaking the facts Bob. You guys can carry on believing the network hype about that guy but someone has to inject you dudes with some reality once in a while. Mayweather repeatedly ducked Khan because he knew he couldn't win the fight.
In fact, Mayweather ducked Manny too until he saw Manny was past his prime after Marquez KOd him.
Only two in there really have something in common. I know i know... youre one of them dumbasses that wanna believe that Manny didnt back off because he was hurt and Floyd did soooo good. If thats the case why did Floyds stats fall the worst in his entire boxing career? hmmmm
You're also probably rewatching Yusaf Macks video over and over in Bora Bora right now just hoping to get an invite to Floyd and Justins Bungalow!
I did have pity for you begging for green k in the the green k thread. I normally dont give red k to worthless shltty posters who have already been plastered with it for being a shlt poster but what the hell ...have some off set. :AOR:
You get red K'd on here for telling the truth because Pac nut huggers are an extremely sensitive group on here.
Floyd's stats were a lot better than Manny's lol
It's my opinion that if you think Floyd is a hype job, you have no business talking about boxing.
"Career an illusion"? He's a five weight world champion.
Khan is a hype job.
I know you are a big Khan fan but he should be on this list. He is much more over hyped and overrated than many on your list. I voted Broner. He is not the big star he claims to be. They are trying to promote him as the future of boxing. He just isn't that good. He is just an above average fighter and nothing more. Crawford, Postol and Pacquiao all beat the hell out of him at 140 in my opinion.
Beyonce is probably the worst hype job in history. The way he did those bootylicious dance moves after the ref stopped the great French policeman, I forget his name, was just rhe most disgraceful thing I've seen.
There is literally zero hype behind Wilder

Canelo.
He clearly beat 140 pounders at 154 and then had a controversial win over trout in texas in and then got the floyd fight based on popularity/nationality. He was overhyped with no resume to have earned that fight.
Floyd beat an overated green fighter.
Since then he has beat angulo and kirkland off layoffs and personal issues. And another controversial fight vs lara.
Overated fighter
Broner is the Emeritus Hype Job King. It will take a long time before someone gets hyped that hard and falls that fast again.
Wilder isn't a bad choice tho.

Out of the ones you mentioned I picked out Deontay, just because he's got his hands full fighting Klitschko and don't think he'll ever see the top of his division.
Boxingscene has the most pathetic boxing fans ever. Here's a better question. How many of those guys can you beat? That's all you nerds do is talk **** about fighters all day.
Most of them.
Simple rule
Prove it in the ring.
I just wanna see self proclaimed bad axx mofos put it down to the fullest.
If you can't stay out the way & the fray!!!
GET OUTTA THE WAY!
Let the Warriors go to war.
LOL, wow. None of those guys are hype jobs. Every one of them has lost when they were supposed to and won when they were supposed to. That's an awful list tbh.
The only real hype job here is Wilder. Brook is mostly hyped on this site. Fans wanna suck him off because he calls out and bashes Khan every chance he gets, but he's still a pretty solid fighter.
Broner and Berto were hype jobs, but both took some losses and the hype faded.
The other guys on the list are either proven or never really hyped up to begin with like Abraham or Kirkland, who was hyped as an exciting power puncher, but was never labeled the future of boxing like Broner.
khan opponents last 3 years:
carlos molina - was at LW before going up to JWW to fight khan. fought khan 3 yrs ago, have won 0 fights since.
julio diaz - 34 yrs. old at time. washed up. last relevant as LW champ 8 yrs ago.
luis collazo - solid 147 guy at one point, best known for close loss to ricky hatton. NINE YEARS AGO.
devon alexander - solid 140 guy a few years back. after khan fight, he also lost to aaron martinez (WHOOOO???) shows you how good the khan win was.
chris algieri - probably khan's best opponent in years. khan picked him because he saw pac whoop algieri and drop him 6 times.
problem is khan ain't pac. or even ruslan.
khan couldn't hurt him.
instead of looking good vs algieri, khan ran, held while algieri chased him around and rocked him.
embarassing close win for khan.
Adrien Broner
Andre Berto
Kell Brook
Deontay Wilder
Floyd Mayweather Jr
Lol what do these guys all have in common hmmm?
One of your picks easily beat the guy in your avatar... and please don't respond with some excuses.
