    I refuse to vote, because I sense sinister defamation intentions

    All guy who can hit hard are usually appreciated, its normal. The only way you can disapprove them is by getting in the ring.

    Talented fighters with lesser punching power, just have to wait and build up their legacy.

    I don't see any of the three as being overhyped.

    Those guys are legit, and it's going to take a damn good fighter to take down any of them. Of the 3, GGG's my favorite and has the most potential to be truly great- if he can land the fights.

    I pick Matthysse just because he has had 2 loses,even though he may havw won at least they were close fights. After seeing how Alexander did with Bradley, it gives me a little doubt about Lucas. Kovalev and GGG are also being ducked hard so the other fighters think they are good too.

    GG and Matthysse are totally overhyped.

    :deal This apparent as hell.


    GGG hasn't beaten anyone of note. Not saying he isn't good as he obviously is, but people on here are claiming he can wipe out the 168's and he hasn't even cleared out 160.


    And Matthysse has been beaten by a guy most people on here like to **** on as if he's a useless bum. And now it's to the point where his fans act like they can just write the loss off like it never happened.


    Kovalev is the real deal though.

    All three are legitimate threats and top notch fighters. The poll is based on a fallacy and I refuse to participate.

    Regardless of their opposition, If you were to measure the merit of Matthysse and GGG against the no 1 of their division, both would be the betting favorites. Kovalez to me is not being hyped at all and is facing good opposition.

    I only said Matthyse not because I think he's a bad fighter (quite the contrary) but I think some people are acting like he's the second coming of jesus/buddah/vishnu all wrapped into one.

    All they have to do is beat someone world class, and I'm sold on all 3. But two of the guys(GG and Matthysse) are getting hyped up to no end, and it's sickening. Others champions are belittled, and have done more than these two.

    I can't vote on that poll. They are all three the very best in their weight divisions..............

    Which of those three white boxers, all current world champions, all undefeated [Matthyse has only lost by robbery] are the most hyped?

    I'd say none of them!
