What people don't get, is that hype jobs really don't exist at this level. You make them. All these guys have proven that they are i the top 1% of people in the world who can box at a elite level.

Matthysse is the biggest hypejob in the sport hands down. The way this site was flooded with ******s regarding him as the second coming of Jesus it was just so funny.

GGG on the other hand is really good, I think he has a really good ring IQ and technically he is 10x better than Matthysse. So I don't see him as a hypejob (even if some people are getting over the top with him)

I would not go that far concerning Mattysse. he's everything he was made out to be. The real truth surrounding the legend of Lucas is that Danny Garcia is just better.

Every so often, I will drop my hype job list. The list is predicated upon overrated fighters of the moment. These are rankings, so in theory, the #1 is currently the biggest hype job in the world 1. Nonito Donaire

Nonito has been exposed as a limited boxer who is average at setting up his punches. He has degenerated into a head hunter with no tactics. He has lost 95% of the rounds he has participated in this year. He bailed himself out with a Hail Mary knock out of Vic, but he was down on the cards, he landed less punches, and he looked worse for wear, he is the reigning fighter of the year, biggest hype job in the world. Will lose the next time he steps up in class. He is greater on twitter then he is in the boxing ring


2. GGG

Not since Gerry Cooney have we seen so much praise heaped upon a fighter for starching Cale repairmen. He has not beaten anybody, yet boxing fans want to annoit him the prodigal son. Kryptons last hope. That's as ridiculous as a conference USA team going undefeated and believing they belong in the national championship before an Alabama. His defense is suspect, and he is flat footed. Robotic. He will be white washed by a boxer who moves. Fanboys and HBO have created a false narrative and his name is GGG.


3. Miguel Cotto

Make no mistake. Cotto is shot. Shock worn to the max. He defeats a d fighter, and all of a sudden he is the hottest name in boxing. Delvin rod is good enough for 8 figures??? Cotto has no chin, his power has faded, he is not who he thinks he is. Disgusting that hype has resurrected his career. He can fool the fans, he cannot fool me. He is done, one last payday.


4. Amir Khan

No signature wins, no titles, knocked around the ring by a lightweight in his last outing, yet, he is in the running to get FMJ????? nuff said. Disgraceful state of affairs


5. Tyson Fury

The British media is notorious for overhyping their fighters and Tyson is a case study. He is fat, slow, chinny, and soft. He is funny as hell, but the fact that he is drawing 7 figure paychecks, dictating terms to legit heavyweights, all this after being put on his butt by an average cruiser. In ducking wilder, Tyson solidified himself as a hype job. He will NEVER be heavyweight champion, but has the united kingdom believing its possible. What a joke.


Honorable mention

1. Danny Garcia
2. Ruslan P
3. Manny P
4. Àbner Mares

GGG, Cotto & Garcia are all very talented.

Troll thread.

The fact GGG is here with his amateur and professional success and the fact he has never been down in over 400 fights and hold belts @ middleweight shows the OP is a troll.

The fact he defends Broner and Wilder also proves that

YEAH Right, nice try. Broner is a 3 division champ, and you could make the Argument that he was the lineal champion in 2 of those divisions. I am shocked by the amount of broner haters, but it works, he is going to make so much money off of his haters. GGG, please, lets see a credible win first.

No you can't, WTF? He wasn't lineal in any, and 2 of the titles were against guys not top 10 in the division. Also, he already had to rely on friendly judging 2x against on paper patsies (PDL, Quintero), and made hard work of fringe welter Paulie.

[Iceta Lives]

Some of the guys on that list are willing to fight the best fights available for them at least. I can't respect a guy who shares a double header with his perceived #1 threat and then calls out an older fighter from a rival network along with a guy who looked like a fluck ass bum in his last fight in Froch. To me, that is a hype job is someone who refuses to fight the best and I don't view his wins over Cloud and Dawson as impressive. Stevenson is who I'm referring to.

How is danny garcia a hype job? hes been an underdoog in all his big fights, and was suposed to be a stepping stone for matthyse
