        The massive hype they get when they are not that good in the first place. Once they fight at the highest level they get starched.

        Froch never got that initial hype and has gotten their by fighting and winning at the highest level. Nobody has that many top prime fighters in a row like he does.

        Kell Brook is getting a lot of hype without facing anybody yet

              Lack of defence taught over here.

              Seriously, it's a big problem. A lot of our best prospects aren't fundamentally sound and usually have something that over compensates and masks these basic flaws.

                  Kell Brook isn't getting a lot of hype at all. A lot of people think he would beat Khan but nobody thinks he's anywhere near the best in the WW division. Being talked about doesn't = hype.
