    I'm not sure if I agree with the list, but I do agree that HBO is a hype machine, and uses its tremendous leverage in the business to ensure 'favorable' decisions for its fighters. I wouldn't want to have to take on an HBO fighter and risk a decision.

    He was more hyped by Everlast anyway. They made him out to look like a god in all their adds....Until the Calzaghe fight of course.

    Cintron and LAcy are both showtime hype jobs. HBo just grabbed them away once they were already all hyped up.

    Hamed was overrated, not over hyped. Don't forget Oscar, he was hyped by HBO as well.

    what his gift decision over Pernell and Quartey? but he was actually good!

    Oscar should not be on this list.

    Not the most hyped fighter was Panchito Bojado and in a leser degree Ricardo Williams jr.
