Here's a short list of the guys I think receive the most hype. Before anyone goes crazy, I'm not saying any of these guys are hype jobs or are overhyped. They are all tremendous fighters who seem to get a lot of love from the fans with relatively few doubters. Genady Golovkin Guillermo Rigondeux Sergey Kovalev Lucas Matthysse Vasyl Lomachenko Thougts?
Kessler - 90% Of his resume is filled with nothing but poor opposition and yet hes always getting praised Matthysee - Im slowly becoming a fan , but certain people make it seem hes the George Foreman of the Welterweight divison . Trout - The guy got skills , but most people made him out to be the new face of boxing as soon as he defeated Cotto . The loss to Canelo calmed people down for now .
Any time a fighter is not expected to beat a certain fighter yet does so and impressively will always get much deserved hype and love. Trout proved he's worth that hype after the Canelo fight.
Hughie Fury Brits claimed, he has more potential and even skills than Prime Mike Tyson. David Haye Bum. Best wins against bigger bums, Chisora and Walujew, but people act, that he would be a GOAT. There is a reason that he never fights .. he just want to live of his reputation, because the first Top 10 fighter schools him, like Wlad did.
He's got potential sure, but no one is claiming that he has more skills than Tyson. Don't be spouting anti-brit crap on every thread, it's getting tiresome.
All of them are legit havent seen the last guy yet he hasnt even turned pro Whats the matter if they get alot of hype they all have earned it by getting big wins or looking like beasts
Broner is hyped ---had trouble with Paulie. Amir Khan used to be hyped -- he fell off a little bit (thankfully)
I never said there was a problem with being hyped. The word seems to have a negative conotation. I pointed out though that wasn't my intention when using the word. I simply indentified fighters who I believe the fans are really behind in terms of talent and what it's expected that they'll acheive in the sport.
kell brook.... brits make it seem like he some world beater with his 30 (bums)-0 record.... ducked alexander and bradley.... complete hype job
he has one loss, if the Carson Jones I fight were anyone else he would've lost. He got bigdogged in that fight.
