        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,
        you're right...

            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
            Benn, Eubank and Colins were all great fighters in there own right not overrated colins spent most of his career as a champion chasing a fight with RJJ, who wanted nothing of him.

              Steve Collins wasn't British! I shudder when I hear people call Nigel Benn 'overrated'.

                  Benn, Eubank and Hatton are top quality. calling them over rated is like calling Beckham or Rooney over rated
