    Who's the biggest hype job in boxing today?

    Was reading a thread and saw this being mentioned and thought to myself, ok, why not! Let's see what people really think and let's expose who NSB really thinks is the real deal or true hype jobs!

    Now, i'm not personally saying any of these boxers are hype jobs, they are simply some which we all know have been accused of being such.

    I'll make a poll with whoever I can think of off the top of my head:

    GGG
    Sergey Kovalev
    Tim Bradley
    Deontay Wilder
    Rigo
    Canelo
    Mikey Garcia
    Erislandy Lara
    Lomachenko
    Tyson Fury

    Seems like enough,

    Vote and Discuss!

    These are the most popular picks, feel free to name and shame any others you feel deserve a mention in the comments!

    From that list in terms of actual pedigree and the amount of interest and attention he's getting Mikey Garcia. GGG is of course the most hyped guy in boxing overall but he's a more solid product from what I can tell. Is GGG the worldbeater people say he is? We shall see.

          I would have thought Wilder would be the most hyped considering he's beaten 30 cab drivers and is already almost in line for a shot at the most prestigious heavyweight belt!? Mikey is pretty legit in comparison...

              Who is claiming Fury is a top fighter? Nobody.

                  Another one. Who is hyping Wilder? Who?

                  They need to be "hyped" to qualify. No?

                    Wilder without doubt. It's not even close.
