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

    How British is Greg Rusedski? LL was born here. His alligiences never lay here and he only fought here for his own personal gain.The last decade of his career was spent fighting in the states.I dont think he even has a home here.

    1. Not very he was born and grew up in Canada. Lewis was born in London and lived there for over 10 years.

    2. Anthony Hopkins has an american passport and he lives in the states, that make him American?

    Toney even said it was a "mismatch" in favour of Lacy.

    It's suspicious because it looks like they:
    A) Don't like giving any credit
    B) Don't want their poor knowledge to be exposed

    Wasn't pinpointing you specifically. I'm sure not every American was so analytically challenged as to rate Lacy extremely highly, and pick him in that fight. But to claim he wasn't regarded highly in boxing circles is slightly erroneous - not to mention pointless - because we all saw how this place was at the time

    I can promise you this, when Joe loses to Bernard he becomes a Welshman,,,,,if he wins hes promoted to British.

    It was the same when Lewis lost to McAll, he became Jamaican/Canadian again. When he retained the title he was a true Brit.

    Have we no Shame?????

    just realise,most societies are bandwagons these days,when andy murray loses he's suddenly scottish again ... you are just a fickle bunch who demand perfection at every opportunity when it is so seldom in availability.

    but joe calzaghe has been very underhyped up until recently.

    Nice attempt to disguise your disgust for your own nationality. Selfloathing is not one of your finest trades.

    I can also say this: You called yourself an eternal fantasist and gave yourself 99% chance that you are stupid. I give you the 100% stamp right on your forehead.
