    Who do you think is the biggest hype-job in boxing today?

    We've all our opinions on this, I'd like to hear everyones thoughts.

    My money is on Andre Dirrell. For no other reason than I hate him.

    :good

    Saul Alvarez to be quite honest

    He is being touted by many as a possible p4p #1 in a couple of years

    the reality is he is less tested than Jeff Lacy was, and in all honesty, less impressive.

    I agree with Alvarez, just based on I don't see who he's beaten to generate such hype. He's too one dimensional for my liking and I'm not 100% sold on his power.

    Lacy is one of the biggest in recent memory - didn't the bookies have him as favourite going into the 'zaghe fight?

    Berto has at least bit some fringe world class guys.
