I've been living in the UK for over 10 years. And there's this cringe-worthy thing they like to do, which is basically overrate all their products.
They do it with football (soccer), and it seems they do it with boxing too.
After setting themselves up for a massive fall, they go on to embarrassing themselves.
Their new hype is now directed at Kell Brooks.
According to majority of them, he's already a "world beater", and can challenge the likes of Pacquiao and Mayweather.
Only a matter of time before he fails.
Arguments about world class fighters, saviors and no ones mentioned Clev??
Also Brook is not average. Hes a very good fighter who needs to take his time then take his chance.

We all know the bold is BS but I saw him live on the undercard of Ward vs. Froch and liked what I saw out the dude. He is pretty good and get better. He will be a force to reckoned with if stays in good shape and develops more. I like the dude think he can makes some noise in time
Khan and Froch are World Class, branded about too often? Wtf is this guy talking about, if you consistently fight at world level and get W's at world level I am thinking that fighter is world class. You could say that Froch and Khan have not proved themselves to be elite, absolutely!
You have domestic level, journeyman, gatekeeper/contender/Euro Champ, world class (championship level), elite, and then I would say you get special fighters ie pacquiao, mayweather.
Kell Brook is average? OK THEN! We'll see when he starts fighting bigger names. The guys never ever got out of second gear and still looked class in majority of his fights. The polish guy (Jackwiecz?) was ranked the number 7 welterweight in the world by Ring Magazine and Kell dismantled him and made him look silly in 6 one sided rounds.
People saying he's overhyped? The man on the street hasn't heard of Kell Brook (yet). Seriously, how has he been overhyped? I'm still waiting for the moron who started this thread to let me know?
:lol1: Ring magazine.
Tbh, I've never heard of that guy.
None of his (Brook) qualities stand out. Absolutely none.
Obviously can't expect a guy (you) with Brook as his display pic to show any reason in his post.

football (soccer) MATE, is the best sport in the entire world. know one apart from americans give a **** about basketball and that crap u call american football. bunch of p*s*ys in a load of protective clothing stopping and starting every 3 seconds
Not having a go but do you not think calling another sports players "a bunch of *****s" while supporting soccer is a bit hypocritical
A troll/win-up thread loses its effect when you have to keep trying to tell people they're mad
No one's trolling here.
And I thought you made your point. Why do you keep popping up?
You are right in one sense. But you didn't mention that the media beats the living shi.t out of them once they are down. The hype only puts added pressure on the sportsmen and women.
lool Very true.
Wankers.

Kell Brook has been hyped for years now. He needs to step up and prove himself on the world scene. Hatton is a benchmark, but only at domestic level IMO.

american football is the most overhyped sport in the entire world. the actual game is actually super ****. take the cheerleaders and fireworks and special guest performances and all that chince away from the NFL and what are you left with???? nothing but an irritating game that has no flow what so ever, 2 seconds of play and 15 minutes of waiting arond and adverts
Hey don't knock "American" football. Too many of us Brits dismiss the sport due our own lack of understanding of it."American" football (I invert that because I don't want to insult our U.S friends) is a great sport!
Play Madden for a few months, pick up the basics and watch a game you'll enjoy it. When you begin to understand the basics you begin to understand what each individual is achieving on each play and it becomes a wonderfully technical game. Tactically it's mental! You think we analyse football well "American football" wipes the floor.
It's not a stop start game when you understand what they are doing. From a (live)spectators point of view the game is amazing. I loved every minute of Chargers Saints a few years back at Wembley (even though Chargers lost). Fantastic experience and overall a better experience than I had visiting Old Trafford and Anfield for premier league games......(they should have been amazing as I'm used to supporting Dundee FC haha)
I'm not a fan of basketball or baseball but do love hockey....
