    Everyone in boxing is a hype job.

    Mikey Garcia left top rank. But now he's calling out Top rank fighters. Why didn't you call them out when you were at top rank.

    Lomachenko got salido problems.

    Canelo bout to lose to triple L who lost to jacobs who's also a bum.

    Ward got kovalev problems

    Kovalev got ward problems

    I mean who do we have left? Only non hype job in the game is pacquiao and Bradley.

    I would say Crawford but even he hasn't fought no one. Hype job.

    You got a point but boxing is a business so they have to do their job and hype up their fighters, I think the hype usually fools the casual fans. Disagree with Loma and Crawford they both show P4P skill in every fight.

      Subjective sport due to subjective judging, thus we get subjective outcomes unless a fight is punctuated by an objective KO.

          How can you disagree with lomachenko? You can't disagree with facts. Nga lost to a bum with 13 losses

          Having salido problems isn't an opinion, it's a FACT.

                Real talk.

                Watching charlo celebrate knocking out cab driver Hatley was hilarious.

                  An hype job is someone made out to be better than they have proven by the media and fans. I wouldn't call anyone on your list a hype job, though Lomachenko is entering that territory with ridiculous claims that he's already better than Mayweather and Whitaker.

                    They are boxers, not hype jobs. When a boxer is good and kicks ass he gets hype. That's the way it is. When they stop kicking ass and start losing fights they stop getting hype. You don't have to believe the hype if you don't want to. That's up to you. The fact is boxers who get lots of hype are damn good or they wouldn't be getting hype. AJ, GGG, Loma, Crawford and Thurman get lots of hype because they are champions and damn good fighters who kick the asses of other good fighters and deserve all the hype they get. Spence is another guy who gets lots of hype. Why? Because he can fight his ass off and punch and he knocks guys out. When you are good and you prove it in the ring the hype comes. Porter and Jermell will be getting more hype after their strong showings and they deserve it.
