    Oh.. yeah. And in addition to my post above there also sems to be a difference in perception of what being a 'hypejob' ( of either the 'fan favourite' or 'media darling' type) actually means about the fighter.

    Some people mean that they're simply a bad / low quality fighter who is ONLY getting recognition because of the attention they recieve from fans / boxing media.

    Other use the term to refer to a fighter who they feel may or may not be good but is recieving fan / media atention in EXCESS of what their accomplishments warrant.

    Again, there's two quite distinct ways in which the term is being used but as long as we don't bother to agree on a definition there should be nothing to get in the way of the flaming we all love so much.

      Interesting question. Broner was more hyped, but also achieved more thus far. He's also younger. So it's kinda even for me.

          Provodnikov hasn't beaten anyone, Most idiots will say Alvarado is his best win yet Alvarado isn't jack ****, Alvarado beat Rios and Rios isn't jack **** either.

          Broner has beaten Demarco, Malignaggi, and Ponce De Leon.

                  They both lost alot of their luster. Both need to win a big one to get my appreciation.

                      Doesn't even add up bro it was a 10 round fight. Do you mean 97-93 ? Or did you hand out a couple 10-8's?
