Biggest hype job right now?

Leo Santa Cruz

The guys been built up on smaller/older fighters.

I still like him. Just think he gets overrated

Good one. Can't edit the poll though

I actually voted for Loma from this particular list (which I don't think is good by the way) for a specific reason.

While, clearly, Loma is a greatly skilled, athletically gifted boxer, he was really hyped before the Salido fight, with people discussing if he could be GOAT, P4P all time no.1 after 1 fight, and at very least easily deal with Salido. However much good he showed in that fight, he lost (regardless of controversy, he has the L). However, even though he showed his courage and talent to be fighting like that with the factors that went against him, probably better than anyone else at his career stage could do, he was still greatly hyped. Unashamedly, as a fan, I could say perhaps way too much - at least till he proves his promise fully on the pro stage.

Anyhow, none of the three are true 'hype-jobs' at all, they can sometimes be overhyped at times, and I only voted for Loma as I took this list on face value, interpreting it as who is/was most hyped from those options. However, Kovalev, as others have mentioned...is a fearsome legit puncher who has beaten a few decent guys and in great fashion. GGG is a legit wrecking ball with an iron chin and power that most can't handle. He will win some big fights in the near future. And Loma, if managed correctly, CAN be the new face of boxing.

Agree with everything except the Chavez part. No one really thinks highly of him we all know he's very limited. He's getting big fights because he's the son of an ATG.

The biggest hypejob is undoubtedly Broner dude was the second coming of Mayweather and it all backfired with that humiliating loss to Maidana. And now even worse he's back to fighting much smaller over-matched opponents.

Broner can actually fight !!! He does things to make people that doesn't watch boxing want to!! But the hate represents the overwhelming majority of the Hype !!! The Kid puts azz in seats !! Even in his lost !!! Marcos Maidana is fighting Floyd Mayweather because of Adrien Broner !!! Note he is a total tool but there was no noise around this kid until the Dad brash my hair !!! The Whole Can Man thing!!! Oyea!!! WORLDSTAR!!!

nobody is saying kovalev is GREATER then hopkins... b-hop is 49, people think kovalev beats him NOW. please find me 1 person who rates kovalev higher then hopkins. you literally have to have a mental issue to say something that ******

beats hopkins based on what? hopkins is still beating better fighters than kovalev is beating. only beat pascal a few fights ago, shumenov is better than anyone kovalev ever fought and hopkins is taking him on next.

naturally nobody is rating kovalev above hopkins in history, but rating him above hopkins in the present is ******ed too.

[MDPopescu]

naturally nobody is rating kovalev

Now I get your stances...

Your sig reads:

"Active Favourites: Ismayl Sillakh, Chad Dawson, Adonis Stevenson"...

Title. Poll incoming

Add Lara and Rigo to your poll and it would be perfect....They are both just as big of hype jobs as the 3 you listed.

No just no...Shumenov is not better than Campillo (who should have beaten him twice) and he's not better than Cleverly either.

But the rest of your post is decent.

I honestly think all the russien fighters are all overhyped to death right now including provodninkov like oh wow they can punch hard but what happens when they face a mover?
