The line can be a little fine at times. I mean when you think about it, the sport today and how it is run essentially provides the stage for some of the real hype jobs to get away with it. However in this fickle environment a guy that was never a hype job gets labelled one because he loses a fight at or near the top. From my experience of being an avid fan for many years I find that in many cases if not most, it is power itself that is the hype job and once again the times we are in support it. Instant gratification. Some are addicted to the highlight reel. Some are bored by a boxing match so its best as fans that we be careful in using such a word along with many of its cousins. In many cases we also have the benefit of hindsight.

Fighter A is the favourite going into a scrap with Fighter B. Fighter A is expected to stop Fighter B because Fighter B is overrated or some might say a bit of a hype job. Not the fighter his record suggests. Fighter A is expected to knock Fighter B out because of his one shot power w/o even mentioning his pretty sound boxing skills for such a puncher. Fighter B then goes about to beat Fighter A. Not only does Fighter B beat Fighter A but he takes his best shots and drops Fighter A for the first time in his career on his way to winning a unanimous decision. Fighter A is then immediately reduced to overrated. So in essence and overrated fighter beat what some actually called an underrated fighter thereby making the underrated fighter overrated and the overrated fighter underrated. Had the once overrated now underrated fighter have lost lets say by ko he would have been a hype job.
Another term over used imo is the word "exposed". I don’t even no what it means anymore the way it’s thrown around and loosely used.
