Serious question - does any group overhype their fighters more than the UK?

    And who the hell was hyping Ricky burns Liam Smith and Liam Walsh? You got any proof or just pulled it out of your arsehole?

      Just absurd arguments man...you don't have to defend every single one of your guys on every single issue.

      World level means world-class...you think Liam Walsh is of the highest caliber in the world? If so, you better start throwing that word around quite often.
      You are in no position to say who is and is not world-class or world-level. And Burns proved he was world class and a champion and many others who are not stars. You tried to use the "embarrassed" comment to fortify your claim and failed miserably since almost every boxer has or will be embarrassed, including the elite. Give it up dude.

        Some people occasionally have good insights and when they do I take note of it.

        I don't listen to anyone 100% of the time...Paulie is a good example...he is a good boxing mind, but he is also a feather fisted type of guy...so the way he scores some fights is off I think, and the way he analyzes some fights is off, because he is scoring them always for the boxer/mover/light puncher.
        You should listen to some of the talking heads who are paid to hype Wilder mate - it is borderline Hunger Games type insanity that people cannot see through how transparently he is propped up.

        One of them.had him ahead on the cards when he stopped Orriz 2.

        Oh boy.

          What are you even talking about dude lol...no one is even talking about Wilder...and again I was rooting for Fury lol and picked him to win.

          Great win by Fury...but eventually you will have to move on and talk about other things on here buddy, that is if you are really a boxing fan that is...if you are just a fan-boy, well change your picture to whoever your faves are and just root them on...but leaving the boxing talk/analysis out to everyone else.

          Peace bro.

            Man you seem to be taking this kind of hard...sorry I guess.

            You are proving my point though...you are swearing that Burns Walsh and Smith etc are top level when they aren't...and they aren't really even that close to it.

            But hope you have a great day man!

            I mean...the A-side/hometown fighter/prospect gets bad cards all the time man...that happens everywhere, not just the US.

              Read the comments in this thread from Kafkod and Richard

              And yes I remember how 'stunned' everyone was when Burns lost to Indongo...who proceeded to get embarrassed by Crawford and Prograis.

              And many gave Walsh a very good chance against Davis...and Smith a good example of another guy who hyped to be world level but isn't really there.

              Btw I remember the Burns and Walsh fights because I don't really follow those weights...so when I am trying to form opinions of fights/fighters at those weights, I am reading threads on here to see what everyone is saying.

              And going into those fights, Burns was a clear favorite...and Walsh was going to give Davis a really tough fight.

                  Bro you can't even spell...I'm not worried about your opinion on anything...find one post before this fight where I said anything positive at all really about Wilder...I'll wait

                    PBC has a lot of 'maybe' type guys...but we don't know enough about them yet really to say what they are...but for the most part no one really is going crazy on hyping those guys up...not that I see anyway.
                    Yeah but even top rank made pac a superstar.

                    Thats the problem, to many maybe fighters because they dont match them So they stay in the maybe zone.

                    Loma, fury, took risks
