    Over-Hyped.....

    .....It's a funny old word isn't it?

    Any fighter who shows any sort of promise (especially British fighters) are pretty much labeled ''over hyped'' from the start.

    Carry on.

    True ****in story. I don't know any big boxing fans that hype Khan, only the casual fans that assume Willie Limond punched like a mule cause he has knocked Khan down hype him up big time....

      Well what do you expect when the yanks have never over hyped anything in their history. It must be annoying for them seeing all these 'overhyped' fighters.

      You get one ****** little 12 year old with a permanat erection say khan will be an atg and all the ****s start shouting up that they're **** and overhyped.
      ****in hell Khan's only 21 and only been pro for 3 years and he's 'overhyped' 'overprotected' and ****.

          Do you consider HBO a big boxing fan because they had Amir Khan just last year as the number 2 prospect in all of boxing. Along with Lopez and Berto on that list. Might of only hit on Lopez.

            I could understand over-hyped if a fighter lost or had a questionable decision winning a fight, but when he wins outright and doesn't do badly that's puzzling to me.

              Who has been over hypin Khan? I don't get all the over hype comments today. I think its more of a throw it in your face kind of thing.

                Khan has a lot of talent! He is only 21 so of course he is a bright prospect

                  I'm not even going to make a list because the internet isn't big enough.

                    I think Khan has the skill and ability to do well but still needs a lot of improvement before he can realise his potential.

                    Is that ''over hyping''? cause i don't ****ing know anymore! A lot of people on here use that word(Overhyped) like confetti cause they ain't got **** all else to bring to the discussion.
