no offesnse dude, but most americans dont give a **** ass about what the brits like...its cool that you pander to them though...

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...

Most europeans don't give a **** about what americans like. the NFL, baseball etc etc nobody gives a **** about it outside of america.

[Hyde]

yeah, i hear ya...

i understand why they are hyped up...but that doesnt change the fact that average brit fighters are hyped up like they are superstars...

simply not the case...khan is the only brit with world-class skills, and he doesnt want anything to do with the country because -- in his words -- feels racially persecuted...

when is the last time you heard an american boxer sat that?

ok outside of Hatton and maybe Khan who are hyped up as superstars? is Brook, Cleverley, Mitchell, Murray, Jennings, Froch, Smith etc etc hyped up as Superstars? lol gtfoh with that ****.

[Hyde]

yet the voting here still agrees with my assessment that british boxers are overhyped...

weird...

haha...what an internet nerd...

Was Lennox Lewis also just an overhyped bum like all other British fighters?

Hatton and Khan are defenitley overhyped, but they are not bums they are good fighters.

Froch? hell no, im not british but I know that he is not very famous at all in the UK, not as famous as the rest of them anyway. His fight with Taylor wasnt even on tv i think. So Froch is defenitley NOT overhyped but then again he is not that good either.

Haye? Nah i dont think so. Offcourse he was gonna be famous now that he has faught Valuev. I mean a world heavyweight champion from Britain so offcourse he is gonna get hyped. but he is not a hypejob. He is a very good fighter with speed and power and have the abilty to pull of the upset against the Klitschkos.

That ALL British fighters are hypejobs is just a myth created by biased americans who hates the UK.

it was shown on a 24 hour delay

[Hyde]

it was shown on a 24 hour delay

ah ok, but still i mean for a world title fight against a former undisputed middlweight champion in america it wasn't that much hype for it if it was only shown on 24 hour delay.

none of the national networks in the UK could afford it, Hennessey has/had a deal with ITV but that went when the recession struck the UK.

they set up a PPV internet link for £9 to watch it. There was no way I was paying for it knowing that a delay transmission was coming out the following day.

[The_Demon]

you are in the red for a reason TS
all nations have some over-hyped fighters,it has nothing too do with just british boxers
usa is even worse for it too be honest,so your biased argument really is falling on deaf ears

[PrettyBoy22]

People need to give Khan a break

And why compare the U.S.A to the U.K fighters? Look at the size comparism for god sake. Of course U.S.A are going to have more top 10 P4Ps. Idiots

None of our fighters are as overhyped as the Bitchkos anyway (greatest of all time, would beat prime Tyson or Lewis according to some eastern european clowns)
