What other Brits have been elevated to God like status?
Khan , Froch, Degale, Frampton & Quigg to a degree "Biggest fight in the division, yet they've both systemically avoided the best fighter in the division." Joshua a bit (I like him, but how is him v Whyte worthy of PPV?) even Hatton to a degree, McGuigan. Do you want me to go on?
eerrrrrrrr if you wouldn't mind continuing then you might find someone who has been elevated to 'god like status'
Khan - I don't know a single Brit that has ever liked Khan let alone worship him in a god like way
Froch - had a great career but that majority of the british public didn't give two short sharp shiny shits about him before Groves single handedly created that fight
Frampton - again Frampton is a good fighter but the majority of non boxing fans have any interest in him, the Quigg fight has generated a bit of interest purely because it will be a good fight
Quigg - see Frampton above
Joshua - fair enough the publicity that he has been getting is pretty frightening considering he has never been in the ring with any, blame sky's media machine for that
Hatton - put on a mega performance against kostya tszyu and then lost to the top two P4P's, that was a pretty damn good ride whilst it lasted and people found his personality outside of the ring endearing, he was just your average bloke down the pub, people could relate to him.
McGuigan - before my time so I can't comment on him but he has done a few reality TV shows and that didn't really make headlines or generate that much interest so if he ever was give godlike status I would say that has worn a little thin now
rather than just naming a load of Brit fighters why not provide examples of how they have been elevated in such a way?
