I think we can all agree, they have never had an elite world class fighter. Joshua is a cherry picker in a weak division
The last true would champion they had was Eubank sr and Collins destroyed him.

They are not over-hyped, they just have more support in comparison to American fighters. Deontay Wilder has no real fans, just followers on Instagram and Twitter or? People who turn up to watch him fight etc
If Deontay Wilder was fighting overseas, I highly doubt he would bring with him 1000's upon 1000's of America fans etc
This is right.
They're not overhyped in a boxing context, most people know what it is what. They're just supported very well. It's a culture in England that fans follow the teams or athletes they support all over the place.
His mom is from Jamaica. Lewis was born and raised in England. Moved to Canada as a teenager and then back to England a few years later.
Stfu you d1psh1t you don’t know anything about baxin
Also splits most of his time between his motherland Jamaica and Miami.

Kell Brook is the definition of a hype job can't even get any of his retarded fans to list his top 5 wins and include how many of them could beat Julio the kid diaz in one attempt.
I’ve no idea who you are kid. Not only are you a spastic Brit with a mild form of downsyndrome but your boxing knowledge could only be compared to that of a 4 year old child with one leg and half a brain lolololol
Prince Nassem was elite? Lololololol
Wrong. My knowledge trumps yours. You are a casual and only like Boxing for one fighter.
You said that they have never had an elite fighter I provided you with multiple and you only know Naseem Hamed of the list I produced which shows a lack of boxing knowledge.
I think the average 4 year old with half a brain knows more than you because the average 4 year old knows 10x more than you.
Oh and learn to spell before calling someone an idiot you troglodyte.
There's no such thing as a "would champion" and there's no such word as "genuinelu". I believe it's WORLD champion and GENUINELY.
So consider that a spelling lesson and a boxing lesson son.

bob fitzsimmons is always claimed by brits but he was raised and learned to box in new Zealand that makes him a new Zealander to me.
Yeah, he was probably younger than 10 when he moved. But point stands they have had a lot of excellent World class fighters.
They have a passionate fan base and Good promoters that are able to hype them and build interest in them from the time they first turn pro. The junior straps ( English & Comminwealth actually hold some clout )
So if they do reach the upper echeleon World Champ level fans are already aware and invested in their careers
American fighters usually don't get hyped if at all until they are well into their career sometimes even after they have a strap.
The UK should get props because they support their own and it's easier to become aware of a fighter in the begining of their career
NEVER suggests in history. I'll take you to school again here as I normally do -
Lennox Lewis
Ted "Kid" Lewis
Bob Fitzsimmons
Jackie "Kid" Berg
Ken Buchanan
Benny Lynch
Randolph Turpin (2nd man to defeat SRR)
Joe Calzaghe (unbeaten doe)
Jimmy Driscoll
Jimmy Wilde (seen in many all-time top 20 p4p rankings by respect historians unknown to message board casual fanboys)
Freddie Welsh
Naseem Hamed
Just a sampling of some legit hall of famers off the top of my head.
Your lack of basic fundamental knowledge never ceases to amaze me but I will continue to educate you with free sessions. I hope you acquire more knowledge from these and make the transition from casual fanboy to boxing fan. We need more boxing fans.

“School me again?”....... sorry who are you? I’ve genuinelu never seen you post here before

Not as hyped as Broner, Gary russel Jr, Wilder, demetrius andrade.
American fighters are over hyped by default.
I agree with your sentiment but I will say I believe Andrade and Russell to be badasses who will prove that when provided with the opportunity.
Its pretty simple, Boxing is popular in the UK, its not over hype, people simply know who they are. Jesus look at British boxers social media followings, theyre huge compared to others, think Katie Taylor has more followers than any PBC fighter, same with Michael Conlan. America is in a slump, it aint overhyping, just the rest of the world talks more about it

Most American greats come from America's Black population.
Consider the size of Black America to the UK..and the rest of the World.
That puts your post in better perspective.
You don't know boxing history. Here's some fighters (a small sampling of 10) you've never heard of but you should research -
Willie Pep
Terry McGovern
Benny Leonard
Barney Ross
Tony Canzoneri
Jimmy McLarnin
Mickey Walker
Harry Greb
Gene Tunney
Billy Conn
Your welcome and i can give you more if you wish.
Oh and since your so into the race thing because your a bigot there's an island called Puerto Rico that's less than 4m people that takes a fat dump on every country in the world when it comes to producing champions relative to its size. Perspective.
