[Mooshashi]

Khan for sure.

I beginning to thing Canelo is a hype job, time will tell otherwise.

How about JC Chavez Jr?

money is da best doe, #tmt all dday errday money money #teamundefeated



but seriously my list was spot on right.

I appreciate you making the list. I see 2 fighters mabye that belong. I am not sure Hopkins does, bradley and floyd do, if those are PFP rankings. If I am reading you right

[Nay_Sayer]

no impressive wins, take away window Dressing, all flawed fighters. Morales was older then dirt, Judah was older then that, Khan is a C fighter, Lucas lost to Judah dude, and he REMATCHED Morales. Fantastic Brilliant matchmaking. So good, people are actually jumping on the wagon

Ok, I can't argue with that. There is also the issue of the Matthysse fight being as close as it was.

I think Garcia's problem is that there really isn't anyone in his division to fight, unless Broner moves down. Maybe Garcia should make the move to 147? There's nothing left for him to prove @ 140, IMO...

Oh Hell yeah, but then again, he fought Martinez you know, who has GGG fought????

agreed, and thank you. Wins at welterweight are worth more dollars then wins at 140. 147 is the only way to go. The Ghost? The problem? Thurman mabye?? ortiz? not sure about him yet, either way we will find out how good danny REALLY is in 2014

Well I agree until GGG defeats a big name he is a hype job.

There, I've said it.

Fury can't be considered a hype job as he's the only one who is hyping himself.

[Nay_Sayer]

Khan for sure.

How about JC Chavez Jr?

I think it's an open secret that nobody would give two ****s about Baby Chavez if it weren't for his last name...

why broner is not in the list?

[RiC-DiC]

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

I think it's an open secret that nobody would give two ****s about Baby Chavez if it weren't for his last name...

agreed, however, he developed to a stage that I never thought he would. He is better then many people thought he was. He certainly is not what we thought he was 6 years ago
