        Exclude Kovalev. Kovalev was a beast and was never overhyped unlike GGG and Loma. His resume is good too.

        The biggest hypejob in the known history of boxing is Loma.

          Loma won a title in his 3rd fight and is a three-division titlist. Now if he hadn't won a title yet then I would fully agree that he's overhyped.

          Kovalev arguably won the first Ward fight. Now if he had gotten blown out both times then I would agree

          Broner definitely belongs on this list since he was being hailed as the next Floyd Mayweather Jr.

          Roman Gonzalez didn't get his biggest fight until he was past his prime and I would say the hype he received was deserved.

          Juan Manuel Lopez belongs on this list because he got knocked out twice in his biggest fights (Orlando Salido).

          Deontay Wilder was properly hyped to me and if anything he's overachieved. He's always been regarded as a guy with a big punch, big heart, and limited technical ability. Some may have thought he would beat a prime Mike Tyson but I never did.

            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.

            The grinning clowns. They DKSAB. I said this about them before the Lopez fight too.

              What about guys like Francisco Bojado and Joel Julio? They were heavily hyped and never won world titles or even big fights.

                Canelo.

                    Usyk, until he beats Chisora in style i.e box his ears off and rearrange his face, like Fury did in the rematch with Del Boy. Basically, emulate Holyfield's journey.
