      #4#king is right. Only Khan and Haye aren't overhyped. The rest is.

              sure, the brits like their boxing...unfortunately, the american media buys into the fan base, and the hype job starts from there...

              even englands best p4p boxer -- khan -- cant wait to jump ship...weird...the brits must not be so cordial after all...
              im sorry but since when does an american have the right to lecture to the brits, seen as tho the brits invented the fcukin game. yanks should stick to their fake rugby(NFL) or boringball.

                    I think its probably because the uk is quite a small place and they dont have that many world champions compared to say america,So when someone does come along that looks like they could win a world title then the whole country gets behind them.You can't really knock people for that infact i think it's a shame that americans dont get behind their fighters as much but the support they get is probably much more localised since it is such a big place and depends on what part of the country you hail from.
                    Floyd mayweather for example was blown away by the reception he got when he came to the uk recently and that was after he had defeated ricky hatton.He even talked about buying a house over here.
                    Having said that though i do feel some of the hype surrponding amir khan ect: has been a bit over the top and at times it has made me cringe but thats more down to the promoters and you cannot blame khan for that obviously he will try to make as much money as he can as who knows what might happen next.
