    I mean - undeserved hype.

    1. David Price
    2. Nonito Donaire
    3. Adrian Broner
    4. Odlanier Solis
    5. Robert Helenius

    I have to admit that I expected much more from Solis and Helenius. I was wrong.

    He's not really that hyped though. Everybody knows he would get destroyed by Golovkin.

    Why is Donaire on that list? He's had a great career.

    Not so great, very solid, but he has not deserved to be called "the heir of Many Pacquiao"...Pac is/was two levels above him.

    He was a legit 4 weight world champion (not a paper titlist like Broner) and was top 3 pound for pound in his peak. His wins over Montiel and Darchinyan was excellent and had loads of other really good wins.

    I was also really surprised as to why you added Donaire. He was a legit P4P fighter with nice wins under his belt. The others I understand though...

    Yeah and it's not like guys of that size really get that much hype anyway.

    I have been feeling that Nonito is overrated. There was very strong hype around him, on this forum, before Rigo's match.
    I admit that I make mistakes, from time to time. This could be one of them.

    He is very, very good. Yes, there is a strong hype, but I think it is deserved. There is a lot of haters, I can not see realistic reason. OK, I am off topic......

    Yep. Donaire is being shat on for getting old these days. He was a great fighter in his prime.
