      Vasyl Lomachenko.
      Oleksandr Usyk.

      This does not mean that these fighters are not great 'It is just that their hype, has gotten way out of control'. Apparently according to Adam Booth & David Coldwell? 'Lomachenko is the most technically advanced fighter in the history of boxing'

      I am not on social media, but I checked Adam Booth's twitter page 'Just to see if he had any reaction to Lopez beating Lomachenko'.

      He made a tweet stating 'Lopez was just too big, strong and smart'.

      People in general in today's society can be Bloon heads, and get way out of hand in the moment.

        He has a good resume and won a lot of titles.
        I felt that way relative to the hbo hype. Being fair he had done a lot before hbo pushed him so maybe I should rethink that.

              I gotta check on González. I honestly forgot how much he did at the minimum weights before hbo gave him the push as the top p4p boxer.

                  I can definitely see the argument for him being overrated (I don’t think he was personally) but for me a hype job is someone like Jeff Lacy or Adrien Broner fighters who won vacant world titles against sub par opponents, struggle with unranked fighters and have beaten no one of any real note yet get hyped as if they’re elite fighters.

                  To me, Gonzalez overrated or not was clearly an elite, P4P level fighter and his resume shows it.

                  Again, P4P #1? I can see how people would say that’s overrating him.

                  But he definitely deserved P4P Top 10 status atleast.

                    I guess cuz of his p4p ranking

                      I say Broner and GGG....

                      Broner was literally being named the next Floyd when real fans saw how shaky he was.

                      GGG..... Do I need to explain
