Do British Posters Overhype Their Fighters?

[Nacho_Analstain]

Yeah, because Calzaghe's resume is such a ****ing joke. His padded record isn't enough for him to be considered a P4P fighter unless you're impressed by wins over washed up or unproven fighters. His best win is Kessler and that fight only happened because Kessler agreed to fight in Joke's backyard. Calzaghe will never leave the UK for a risky fight...

Your a disgrace to boxing fans, if your favourite fighter read the **** that you post on here, he would most likely knock you the **** out for being such a **** ... if you actually like any boxers that is.

Again, he left the UK to fight an opponent who was ranked higher than him P4P. If B-Hop was washed up, he would not have been ranked so highly.

You consider a 43-year-old fighter a risky fight? Think about that for a second.

Abso-****in-lutely they overhype their guys.

They're just searching for one great fighter who can measure up to our great fighters in skills, athleticism etc,.

From the begining of time we had the Sugar Ray Robinson, the Ali, The Leonard's, the Haglers, The Foreman's, the Tyson's, the Roy Jones's etc,.

So when they have one guy with a unbeaten record (example: Ricky Hatton) they go miles above to pump this guy up into something he is not because they have so lil talent out there. They go soccer fans crazy for their guys, something we don't do. Then the cartoonish knockout happened to Ricky and it's over.

Calzaghe got away by a hair in the Hopkins fight and now I can't wait until he gets in there with Jones. So he can make him look like an amateur and seperate the semi-greats from The greats like RJJ.

lol, roy jones is complete garbage against southpaws
i wouldn't be surprised if calzaghe knocked him out with 7...

So you don't support your own countrymen?

Even if we do what's wrong with that?

Exactly. They have nothing but British hopes over there that they're praying can compete with all the great American fighters. First they were saying Hatton was great for beating a washed up Tsyzu even after he struggled with bums like Maussa and Urango along with getting a gift to fringe contender Collazo.

Once Mayweather showed them how much of a bum Hatton really is, they all have now jumped on the Calzaghe bandwagon. Is it a coincidence that they are impressed by another British fighter who barely beat a washed up fighter and also has a padded resume full of bums he fought in his hometown? I swear, this **** is just like a cycle. Britain just doesn't product world class fighters. They are regional champs at best...

Hopkins obviously thought he could win or he wouldn't have faught. If calzaghe's suck a joke, who have you got to beat him??
Jones probably until Joe wins and then you'll say Jones is washed up it doesn't count!!!
Why not try posting something positive you nobend

Yes, age varies through every fighter. If you knew anything about B-Hop, you would know that age is only a number when it comes to him.

[STEELHEAD]

you could say every country overhypes their fighters but truelly believe uk does it more. look at khan and skelton and fraudley

On a public message board......everything is wrong with that.

You turn your guys into something they're not because they happen to have a 44-0 record like Ricky or now Joe.

It was nice to see a few cats leave this place after their hero Hatton got knocked out. They were pumpin this lil fella up like he was god.
