Who Is Or Was The Most Overated British Fighter

[MickyHatton]

Henry Cooper.

He was good domestically but achieved his fame by dropping Clay.

I wouldn't even place him in the top ten of British Heavyweights.

Prince Naseem

Frank Bruno, Amir Khan, Audley Harrison (at one point), Henry Cooper,

Frank Bruno, Amir Khan, Audley Harrison (at one point), Henry Cooper,

I'll agree with Harrison and obviously Cooper but Bruno was half decent and Khan could be a good fighter, its too early to judge IMO.

1 thing you should never underestimate with British fighters though is there heart even when they look outgunned or outclassed they are capable of raising there game and showing the other fighter up to be outclassed and overated

Hatton ,Witter,Calzaghe ,Benn,

Its gotta be audley, when i was told Audley said he had the skills to transcend boxing, i nearly had a hernia.

Agreed definitely Audley.

The guy made his acceptance speech for winning the Undisputed Heavyweight World Title before he had his first Pro fight!

Fair points, Bruno was half decent but he was still VERY over-rated and khan has showed too many weaknesses against dire opposition imo

Naseem Hamed was the one of many overrated British fighter

care to name ?

Ricky Hatton...
ok, he is a great fighter but he is little bit overrated. He beat a passed his prime 36 years old Kostya Tszyu for the light welterweight championship. after that, he KOs Calos Maussa (B class fighter). won disputed decision against Collazo. Did a very crappy job against Urango, but he did look good against Castillo. And ppl put him in their top 10 P4P list.

Shea Neary who fought Micky Ward.
Neary was once undefeated/overrated contender with a record of like 20 or 22win going into Ward fight and he was out classed by MICKY WARD. I am not sure but I think Shea Neary was ranked in top 5 by the IBF & top 10 by the WBA.

Audley Harrison, very disappointing heavyweight prospect.

And to name few others: Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Steve Collins
