loma , as good as he is, for most overhyped. the goat? comfortably beats prime floyd?erm, nope .looks like hes taken gggs spot here.

wilder for the most over the top hate for a fighter. ppl look to attack him first , haymon 2nd, and only then ortiz/pov 3rd when its the latter two opponents who cheat and get caught. totally bizarre.ward finishes 2nd,

eddie hearn promoter of the year

josh taylor for break out fighter

Bump this thread by an anonymous fight fan with no other agenda than to provide the most honest assessment of what he sees...i'm not ESPN or HBO...those guys have economic interests in certain fighters, so they promote their guys. i'm just a common man who loves the sport of boxing and wants to see the recognition go to the truly deserving.

Ward-Kovalev wasn't exactly a knockout.. i'd rather Lemieux-Stevens. Now that what a KO!
