      Good question,,,

      Fury has solid heavy wins vs chisora, cunningham, and he won them decisively
      Those wins aren't meaningful, they aren't even top wins in one of the worst divisions, Canelo has a much better resume than Fury and is a much better fighter.

      GGG has also alot of solid wins vs stevens, macklin, rosado
      They aren't solid wins, I wouldn't describe any of those fighters as anyhting more than average, Canelos win over Trout trumps an of them easily.

      Both have passed their tests with flying colors, and neither are hyped as the next big ppv star, and the next golden boy,,, GGG has alot of hype but no one is claiming he will be the next ppv star like oscar, floyd, etc.. People make that claim about canelo
      People are claiming GGG is a future ATG with Ward saying hes like Chavez with defence Canelo is a much bigger star than both, I don't think many people are making him out to be a future ATG after his performance against Floyd though.

      Canelo has some solid wins, but has never looked dominant, even vs C-level compeition like rhodes, hatton, gomez, etc Fury and GGG destroy those level of fighters whereas canelo doesnt look dominant, he wins, but does not dominant,, He has only looked really good vs the much smaller Lopez.
      Fury looked absolutely awful and got dropped hard against the old non-puncher Cunningham, I don't know how you can give him a performance edge over Canelo, that's insane. As for GGG he looked awful against the smaller shot Ouma and didn't look very good against Rosado and Stevens. Other than some suspect conditioning, he looked good against Trout, I don't recall him looking any less than fine against Rhodes and Hatton, he didn't look good against Mosley and Gomez though, that I agree with.

      Can you imagine if GGG or Fury had an old shot mosely in front of them, let alone hatton, rhodes, gomez, cintron, lopez... They would wreck those guys badly..
      I don't need to, I saw GGG against washed up Ouma and Fury against washed up Cunningham and both looked awful.

      Canelo has much more hype than either GGG or Fury, that is why i chose him,, I have said it for a long time now,, canelo a good fighter, but nothing special about him,, Floyd undressed him, and lara would too... Trout was a solid win but he really struggled with him, and no one knows how good trout is,,, He might never get a marqee win besides the cotto win
      I don't think Canelo is anything special either but he's more proven than GGG which is especially embarrassing considering their ages.

        It was easily Canelo, before he got schooled by Mayweather. although its calmed down significantly, he is still overhyped to an extent.

        Now i would say its easily Wilder, this guy possesses so little boxing skills its unbelievable. All he has going for him is power, the moment he steps in with a live body he'll be knocked out like David Price was.

          I'm a fan, but Golovkin is probably the biggest hype job on that list. There will be some Broner type backlash when he (likely) loses. It won't even matter if he loses closely or has an argument to win, and boxing gods help him if he got his ass whipped by somebody.

            Question for all the people voting for Wilder: Who is hyping him?

            There's like five people who think he's any good. Most don't think high of him.

                    I dont see how canelo is overhyped, everyone on here hates him

                    I voted Lara since people on here think hes God despite being knocked down twice by a guy who isnt even good

                      I thought most of the guys on the list are damn good fighters and deserve the hype they are getting. I voted for Fury because I think he is not that good. Wilder might be overrated but I'll wait until he fights a good fighter and decide then. I like Canelo and I was sad to see him in first place. He will fight a top contender or a champion next fight and a good win will show he is a very good 23 year old in spite of the Mayweather lose. If he loses then I would agree with the poll that he is over hyped and overrated.
