    How do you have Austin Trout, and not Canelo lol. Canelo barely got past him, showing hes barely a class above, and yet recieves a million times more hype, whereas Trout has been overlooked practically his entire career.

    To have Trout at 4, and Canelo not somewhere in the top 5 makes no sense at all given the title of your thread.

    Brittards were hyping haye badly, most of limeys were calling him a saviour of heavyweight division, but that wasn't a big surprise because brits in general are worlds most delusional sports fans.

    I don't see him being hyped much either, all I typically see is a bunch of butt-hurt UK fans complaining about him because someone said something negative about Kell Brook. :rofl

    I'm from the US and I think his last fight was fixed garbage.

    The absolute WORST hyped boxer of this century was Audley Harrison.

    Was he really a hype job though?

    I mean he got nowhere, sure he single handedly wrecked boxing on the BBC and PPV for years. But I don't remember much hype outside of Britland.
