I am British, and YES all our fighters are overhyped.

He wasnt at his best at all. But he was still one of the best fighters in the world who was expected to knock Hatton the **** out.

as for that avatar bet :hey

 

I do, dan is just a bit tired of all the moaning and bickering but he posts a bit in the britsh forum.

Ive got three on now . If Joe loses it will be a long ass 7 months .

 

krisv1,your stupidity amazes me,you are constantly coming on here shitting on your own fighters when in fact they deserve alot of praise,per capita the UK has a very successful boxing background and has produced some great world champions in the past 10 years.
when talking of calzaghe his resume is not p4p top 3,but its the way he fought that makes a statement,he rarely has struggled and on a h2h basis he ranks very highly.
hatton is a world class boxer who has beaten some world class p4p fighters at his weight,tszyu,castillo,magee and the way he dispatched of many b class fighters speaks volumes about his ability as a prizefighter.

talking of overhype ... why not talk of underhyping of top class british fighters. junior witter,has been a world class boxer for many years now and still gets no credit from americans,or in fact british.clinton woods,has fought some seriously solid opposition and is yet vastly underappreciated in his homeland.

amir khan is another thing all together,for his age he is far past the progress of any other prospect and deserves many accolades,im not saying money should have been thrown at him but he always gives a very good account of himself and is a seriously talented boxer,chinny or not,he's only been kd'd once and that was in a war of a fight.

so how about this krisv,get some perspective on the fighters you apparantly support then decide whether they are good or not.i mean honestly how can someone call calzaghe a bad fighter,it really is beyond me.

 

Dan-b couldn't stand the heat. Anybody would think he's faced up to the fact old Mary is going to get an inevitable beating, and he fears the ribbing he's going to get as one of Mary's chief fanboys

Wise move

 

He hasnt old chap. I talk to him sometimes and he is still as sure of a Hopkins victory as ever, :thumbsup.

 

Deep down, he's running scared I assure you :yep

Typical Americans. Their undefeated fighters are great, a lock for the hall of fame! Until they lose. Then they were never any good.

Although, we didn't stop hearing about him on here. You couldn't refresh the damn page without another Lacy thread popping up. A huge percentage of American's on ths forum picked him to beat Calzaghe, but also to "destroy" him

Seems a bit suspicious that you all keep telling us you never rated him :nut

 

Lewis was about as cockney as Yorkshire pudding. He left this country when he was 11. When he came back he had some ******ed accent. Even when he was pencilled in to fight Kirk Johnson he billed it as a battle for Canadian bragging rights. British my ass. His about as British as Greg Rudsedski.
