the most overrated british fighter since ricky hatton?
yes.
Absolutely no way is that true.
After Degale won the gold medal he was seen as the next big thing, David Price was said to take over the HW division, Kell Brook was considered to be a future star.
Froch came up the hard way, no backing at all, fighting for years on unknown channels under Mick Hennesey being completely unknown and made his way to the top by fighting and beating the best.

they didn't scream loud enough for anybody to care about the degale, price overrating over here.
they certainly did for froch. you've got people saying he's a greater fighter than andre ward, and believing it.
Oakland is a really poor area, im sorry, didnt that awful rap group da luiniz come from there??
Awful place...
oakland is quite affluent. most major cities in america have "bad areas," but the bay area of california is one of the most robust economies in the states.
people show up with checks for an entire year's worth of rent to secure a place in san Francisco.
of course, none of the brits talking about the bay area have ever been there.
shovels, bros. i'll hand them out, you guys keep digging.

Over here they did.
Froch is one of the few examples of fighters over here not being built up, not being protected and actually fighting his way to stardom.
Froch was handed nothing in this game. He didn't get an easy vacant belt against an unranked fighter and hold it hostage of 10 years against no hopers like Calzaghe, he didn't hold a bogus WBU belt for years to build his fan base like Hatton, he didn't have Olympic backgrounds and medals like Audley Harrison, James Degale or Amir Khan or even David Price.
There's no way he's overrated, the journey Froch has been on and what he's been able to do considered where he was at 5 or 6 years ago is nothing short of amazing.
