He was born in west ham,therefore hes a brit,what are you talking about?,he only moved to canada when he was 12 and was there for 10 years then came back to blighty
it depends how they get expose. I didn't feel williams or juan diaz are considered expose as they were champs
Chad Dawson and Andre Berto. Think people are a little too harsh on Khan at the moment. And we havent seen enough of Gamboa to decide either way. Berto is a KO waiting to happen. Dawson, from the little I've seen I was disappointed with him. He has nice footwork but I'm not convinced he's got the power to make it at the top level. Nothing wrong with his heart though following the Johnson fight
British fighters overhyped? ha ha calzaghe, Benn, lewis, hatton (lost to mayweather, big deal), for a small place in comparison to the USA we havent done too bad.
Gamboa the only prospect with a bright future ahead of him?? Nah! There are quite a handful of very promising fighters out there. World amateur champ Alexeev is a hot candidate to dominate the cruiser weight division and to be a long reigning champ there. Olympic silver medalist Golovkin is probably the best middle weight prospect out there. World amateur champ(juniours) Boytsov is the most promising young heavy on earth. Turkish olympic silver medalist Yalcinkaya has turned pro(he lost the final to Bartholemy). Czech olympic sivler medalist Kraj is on the point to capture Haye's world title. Olympic gold medalist Solis will soon make a lot of noise at heavy weight. Amateur superstar Povetkin will fight for a world title in his 16 or 17th pro fight. There are lot of very promising fighters out there. Gamboa is probably the most promising of them all. He has the potential to be an all time great,and so has Alexeev.
I don't think anyone has ever hyped up Kirkland or Angulo to be a future P4P type. At the moment, I'm going to go with Abner Mares. A lot of people see something special in him, but I just don't see it. He's not especially quick or strong for someone his size, and I have some questions about his heart. Same deal with Andre Ward, although the hype on him has died down some. They're both good technical fighters, but you can teach technique, you can't teach the intangibles that they lack. I also suspect Berto will underachieve his higher expectations, but I see no reason why he couldn't win a belt or two. I also suspect Khan will underachieve his highest expectations, but I still think he can win belts in three weight classes (and that his chin will improve as he moves up in weight).
I'll tell you what, Berto is definately not a hypejob on this forum considering most people here say he's a joke who will never amount to anything. The guy gets dropped once by a perfectly placed uppercut and shows no ill effects afterwards and he gets labeled has having a glass jaw. I don't even think I've seen another instance where he's even been wobbled.
