      After setting themselves up for a massive fall, they go on to embarrassing themselves.

      Their new hype is now directed at Kell Brooks.

      According to majority of them, he's already a "world beater", and can challenge the likes of Pacquiao and Mayweather.

      Only a matter of time before he fails.
      John Rawling and such could sell the casual fan oxygen. That's how gullible the British boxing fans can be.

      I only rate Khan and Froch really. They've talked the talk and walked the walk.

      ..Oh to have the likes of Nigel Benn, Naseem Hamed, Lennox Lewis (when he turned British LOL) again..

      We have some good amateurs like Anthony Joshua and such but i'd hate to see how much hype they get...

        Brook is actually the most underrated and most skilled Brit

          Not having a go but do you not think calling another sports players "a bunch of *****s" while supporting soccer is a bit hypocritical

            Brook is average in every way as a fighter.

              Kell Brook is average? OK THEN! We'll see when he starts fighting bigger names. The guys never ever got out of second gear and still looked class in majority of his fights. The polish guy (Jackwiecz?) was ranked the number 7 welterweight in the world by Ring Magazine and Kell dismantled him and made him look silly in 6 one sided rounds.

              People saying he's overhyped? The man on the street hasn't heard of Kell Brook (yet). Seriously, how has he been overhyped? I'm still waiting for the moron who started this thread to let me know?

                Ring magazine.

                Tbh, I've never heard of that guy.

                None of his (Brook) qualities stand out. Absolutely none.

                Obviously can't expect a guy (you) with Brook as his display pic to show any reason in his post.

                  Khan and Froch are World Class, branded about too often? Wtf is this guy talking about, if you consistently fight at world level and get W's at world level I am thinking that fighter is world class. You could say that Froch and Khan have not proved themselves to be elite, absolutely!

                  You have domestic level, journeyman, gatekeeper/contender/Euro Champ, world class (championship level), elite, and then I would say you get special fighters ie pacquiao, mayweather.

                    We all know the bold is BS but I saw him live on the undercard of Ward vs. Froch and liked what I saw out the dude. He is pretty good and get better. He will be a force to reckoned with if stays in good shape and develops more. I like the dude think he can makes some noise in time

                      stop talking **** ****..no one in uk thinks brook can beat floyd or manny,maybe someone is trolling you and taking the piss.

                      everyone i speak to says he needs to fight a top ten ranked WW before he can even start mentioning the like of khan,ortiz etc

                      no one talks about brook vs floyd or manny
