    Most of them were overhyped and weren't top echelon, I definitely agree.
    Then we got to watch Peter Manfredo parlay his fame into two big time appearances (and we know the result of those)

    I honestly think there seems to just be a natural bias against UK fighters.
    I mean Lennox Lewis was crushing people and beating top tier guys and it took many forever to like him here.
    I honestly don't know why that is.

      Good comparison, its a very similar situation.

      Here is De La Hoya's pro debut to download, this is hype:

      Thanks, but I couldn't get it to work. I'm sure there was a lot of hyping going on there.

        Truly it was incredible. All the funnier because Oscar was a remarkable shade of orange.
