    Wow, it's crazy that half of the guys mentioned are on my list I have. I started my list before I even joined this site. Alvarez made it on when he impressed me on that Mayweather undercard, Ortiz has been on for a bit, Berto got on some time etc. I wouldnt say these guys are hype jobs as before I knew the hype I was impressed by their skills.

    Despite him also being on my list, I'd say Mike Jones. He gets main events and stuff but is really not impressive anymore. Against Soto Karrass #1 he completley gassed himself and got his ass kicked the whole fight. He was supposed to be the easy winner too.

    Linarez was getting a lot of hype before Salgado kn ocked him out in 1. Still time to turn it around though

    I heard he was a combination of Robinson and Ali, only better.

    We have a top three so far, correct me if I'm wrong.

    In no particular order, the top three are;

    Brook, Alvarez and Berto.

    Anymore for anymore?

    Linares recently. I spotted his shortcomings years before he was sparked.
