    - hardcore boxing fans
    - casual fans
    - promoters

    now how these different peeps view a fighter determines whether you think the guy is a hypejob or not.

    for example, wilder hasn't fought anyone ranked in the top 60 i read somewhere yet this is how he is seen by the diff sections in boxing:

    - governing bodies - HIGH - wbo and wba rank him top 10.
    - networks - MEDIUM - hes been on tv, was on bhop-murat undercard
    - promoter - HIGH - gbp done a damn good job overhyping this dude. schaefer talks him up but knows deep down what they been doing.
    - casual fans - HIGH - "omg hes got 30 kos in 30 fights". wilder was on a uk radio station Talk Sport hyping a Tyson Fury fight.
    - hardcore fans - LOW - we know whats up.

    overall conclusion, OVERHYPED. only hardcore fans are ranking him where he should be at the moment.

    sidenote: bojangles - loving your triangle theory - impressive ish. we waiting on the next one. obv theres not one as epic as that one but you gotta be able to find something. ill try on boxrec for 5mins before i give up.
    Good analysis and overview, that's pretty much exactly it.

    On a side note, keep posting, i'm just 6 posts off breaking my previous thread reply record of 66 in my short time as an active thread starter/poster on here...milestones, milestones

        I would have thought the obvious choice to add here is Broner. The only thing he has is hype.

Ok, on this forum there aren't too many casual fans so we can see through the hype for what he has really accomplished - beaten 30 tomato cans, but the general fan/broadcaster/armchair critic of the current era definitely thinks that Wilder is the next big thing while he has this perfect ko record and is a hurricane who can take out any1 in the division with 1 spin of the windmill.

            To quote a user from this forum "Wilder would 'ice' Wlad"
            Wilder will Ice Wlad.

            Biggest hype job is GGG, Mikey Garcia. Both will step up and get smacked right back down

              Wilder will bomb out Fury and ice Wlad. Easy work!

              Also, Rigo and Kovalev will continue their domination.

                  How is he a hype job everyone is saying Fury and Wilder are absolute garbage?
                  Don't you need people to be speaking you up to the hills as the second coming on Muhammad Ali to be HYPED?

                  This is a busted selection you can't have fighters that aren't hyped in a list, Wilder and Fury are clearly sighted as two guys who aren't that good...

                      Canelo. His only good win is against austin trout and it's a debatable win
