In a strange way. Everyone (the modern boxing hype machine is ridiculous). For all the fighters. Sorry to give such a lazy answer, but it’s true, I think.
Luis KING KONG Ortiz is arguably the most ducked heavyweight ever.
he turned down fights with joshua and whyte and got ko'd by wilder twice. what are you talking about?
Luis KING KONG Ortiz is arguably the most ducked heavyweight ever.
So I keep hearing from fans. Who has he ever called out? Who has he ever actively chased? I saw him turn down career high money offers from Joshua and Whyte so they haven't avoided him.
All fighters fall in to this to some degree. Nobody can be perfect and fulfill the prophecies of their over zealous fans...hence, the cycle begins. I think Haney would be my choice, even though I believe he’s really good, he’s just a lot of “meh” in terms of competition.
Everybody! It is not a fighter today that someone don't like and that someone don't think is "Overrated" and a "Hype Job" lets be honest :dunno: particularly on this forum!
he's headlining ppvs. his resume is completely barren. he's delivered against the bums and small fighters they match him with yes while loma has fought 5 top 5 guys in a row on top of his resume at 126 and 130. i dont see how loma can be hype just for losing. tank is hype for not fighting anyone and yet they are treating him like an a-side star on ppvs
He's headlining PPVs because he's exciting, not because he's perceived at this transcendent talent like Loma. And he does deliver. As long as he continues doing this and defend his title, he deserves every single bit of "hype" that he gets as an entertaining fighter. I also don't want to hear about top 5s when a Loma top 5 clearly means more to you than a Davis top 5 or of small fighters when one of those top 5 wins is Rigondeaux.
Loma's record or career is not the problem. The problem is with the fanbase and media proping him up as a generational multi-divisional champ when he could very well be just another great amateur who unfortunately didn't have the tools to truly become a great.
HANDS DOWN its Tyson Fury.....this guy has tried to talk himself into legendary status for several years now on the strength of beating an unprepared Klitschko while he was on PED's in what many consider the most boring heavyweight title fight in HISTORY LOL.......he goes on to beat the next biggest hype job in Wilder to try and solidify these nonsensical claims. This guy has been tested by a number of bartenders and yet very few of his extremely dumb fan base seems to realize he's a dud.
If he really has the balls to get in there with Anthony Joshua (which I will be SHOCKED if he does step in) he's gonna be beaten like the dumb redheaded step child that he is and everyone is gonna see he was NEVER on a world class level in terms of skills.
Tyson Fury is one of the biggest hype jobs in boxing history....I can spot em from a mile away. Great talker but a serious hype job.
How can someone who beat a 10 year veteran unified champ and a 5 year WBC champ (twice) be considered overrated??? I dont even really like Fury but this is just utter madness. And then you go on to hype up a guy who genuinely is insanely overhyped on mere media saturation alone.
Been saying this. This dude has beaten no one. He should at least fight Fortuna. He has beaten no one and thinks he is owed a shot at guys like Teo . PLus the stupid whiteboy comment didnt help this moron either.
Beaten nobody and looked painfully average against an absolutely washed Gamboa. I just don’t see what the hype is about.
To me, a hypejob to me is the gap between the exposure and opinion of a fighter vs reality. Nobody is calling Tank an all time great. He barely gets discussed in P4P discussions. But he delivered on all of his fights until now. I also doubt he gets more attention than Loma.
The gap between the "legend" of Loma and reality is much larger than Tank's.

i dont think fury and loma are huge hype jobs really, they both have done very very well in the sport
maybe loma at 135 & crawford at 147 have a lot of hype and havn't delivered for various reasons
Fury is not a hype job because he always delivered, gets plenty of criticism, and the media is actually against him. His resume is on par with how he's viewed and pushed. If we go off performance and resume alone, I would even say that he's underrated.
Loma is another question.
