    At least it didn’t last long...
    And how is GGG a hype job? I’d that’s the case, then Clenelo would be worse since everybody saw him lose against a hype job...

    Neither of them are hype jobs. Canelo seemed that way at first but then he went and beat Trout and Lara. I saw him earn a draw with GGG.

    Hypejob because he arguably lost to the two best guy on his resume. Besides those two guys , his resume is all fluff. Cheese puffs here , cheese puffs there.

    Iif the hype was real he would have blown Jacob and Nelo apart.

    Adamek was weight drained. And there was no rhyme or reason for Dawson to slip from there....he was young, hungry and hadn't taken much damage. He was just never very good in the first place.

    At the time he was ranked no.3 p4p by many observers, his big fight resume read:

    W - Weight drained Adamek, old Johnson X2, old Tarver, old Hopkins, and Diocanu.
    L - Old Tarver and Pascal.

    That should get no one near the top 5. He was flavour of the month and people went all in with him foolishly.

    From a fanbase, has to be Loma. I like the fighter and all, but he's got like 25 threads and counting here--HYPING him with some bold azz titles.

    "Why Loma is "TRULY" the bestest, mostest everest in all of boxingdom..."
    "Loma is so great he should receive a Purple Heart instead of a belt..."
    "Why Loma would mop up Ali, Dempsey, Tunney and Ray Robinson in one night"
    "If Loma swam he'd drown Michael Phelps..."
    "Why the six million dollar man t.v. series was really about Lomachenko"

    Kinda makes me wanna see him get pounded now.
