Who's the biggest hype job in boxing today?

[Chiboxing123]

How the hell does 3G have eleven votes. I swear some on here are the nuts.

I thought most of the guys on the list are damn good fighters and deserve the hype they are getting. I voted for Fury because I think he is not that good. Wilder might be overrated but I'll wait until he fights a good fighter and decide then. I like Canelo and I was sad to see him in first place. He will fight a top contender or a champion next fight and a good win will show he is a very good 23 year old in spite of the Mayweather lose. If he loses then I would agree with the poll that he is over hyped and overrated.

Thanks for the input my friend - it would be interesting if Lara fought Canelo next - this would allow a quick way to find the real hype job between the two, same with Fury and Wilder.

Question for all the people voting for Wilder: Who is hyping him?

There's like five people who think he's any good. Most don't think high of him.

Every time I show support for him, there is backlash calling him a bum and most say he has done anything yet. I want him to fight a somewhat "big" name at HW so he can put them to bed and finally gain some respect.

ggg.....it isn't even close. the guy has beaten nothing but tomato can/cab drivers and was picked by fans to be the foty lmao!!! if that ain't a hybe job then there's no such thing.

Eloquently put.

Absolutely nobody. They've utterly defeated the purpose of making this a conversation by nominating and voting for Wilder and fighters in that type of category... Fury?? Please. Nobody rates these guys. Nobody.

Yep. It's official. I'm the only guy on Earth at this point that can see Mikey Garcia is a soon-to-be bust. Only. Just another day on the job..

As in he'll lose to Gamboa or he'll lose to someone at 130?

theres different institutions in boxing:

- networks like hbo and showtime
- governing bodies
- hardcore boxing fans
- casual fans
- promoters

now how these different peeps view a fighter determines whether you think the guy is a hypejob or not.

for example, wilder hasn't fought anyone ranked in the top 60 i read somewhere yet this is how he is seen by the diff sections in boxing:

- governing bodies - HIGH - wbo and wba rank him top 10.
- networks - MEDIUM - hes been on tv, was on bhop-murat undercard
- promoter - HIGH - gbp done a damn good job overhyping this dude. schaefer talks him up but knows deep down what they been doing.
- casual fans - HIGH - "omg hes got 30 kos in 30 fights". wilder was on a uk radio station Talk Sport hyping a Tyson Fury fight.
- hardcore fans - LOW - we know whats up.

overall conclusion, OVERHYPED. only hardcore fans are ranking him where he should be at the moment.

sidenote: bojangles - loving your triangle theory - impressive ish. we waiting on the next one. obv theres not one as epic as that one but you gotta be able to find something. ill try on boxrec for 5mins before i give up.
