Re: Your most overrated British boxers?
yep Naz built himself up for the big fall - the invincibility aura he built left him now way back with the ego he had
MAB was only fighter he ever fought who was at the top of his game - I predicted that MAB would KO him in the later rounds
Can't help thinking Amir Khan may go same way. The guy has talent yes but is getting a bit cocky just like Naz. Wait till someone with a punch connects with his chin - might actually do him good to be knocked down to be honest
Saw the flash git driving round Leeds city centre couple of weeks ago in a Lamborghini (not sure it ws his) posing and letting everyone know he was in town.
Can't blame him I guess but he's getting it all before he's proved anything (remember AForce ! ;))
You need the hunger don't you agree ???
Re: Your most overrated British boxers?
Its interesting isnt it, he rattled on for agaes about how he wouldnt be like Naz. The next thing you know he's showboating in the ring and running people over in a flash motor ;D
I hope Amir does go the same way. He will do well to win as much as Hamed ;)

Yeah! I know the score on that... :)
Re: Your most overrated British boxers?
Robin Reid...
He scored well with the left hook against Calzagie but other than that is just a pretty well chiseled body!
Pele Reid ...just a kickboxer
Herbie Hide...Would have made a great cruserweight! Was fast but couldnt take a shot! He may still dent the cruserweights one day!
The little Irish guy...the pocket rocket. Cant think of his name and, ok, he' s not British but he was so dull! Tough but I dont think he ever troubled people with his punches.
Was never too sure of Colin McMillan towards the end of his career. He had a few good fights I guess.

Re: Your most overrated British boxers?
To all those who said Naseem Hamed grow up WBC,IBF,WBO world champ beat featherweight number 1 Johnson beat WBA champ aswell 15 title defences.
Re: Your most overrated British boxers?
If you want overrated Calzaghe and Hatton read it a weep boys ;D
Re: Your most overrated British boxers?
See this is where it gets grey for me. I knew it wouldnt be long before Joe and Ricks names were being mentioned.
TYSONBRUNO how do you think people rate Hatton and Calzaghe? Do you think people see them as the greatest fighters the world has ever seen or juts really good at what they do?
I think general popularity gets misconstrude as overating to be honest.
Re: Your most overrated British boxers?
They are both good but great no not yet anyway ,Naz did more than Joe and Ricky upto yet in my eyes

Re: Your most overrated British boxers?
So as long as people see them as really good and not great they are being rated just right?
Ricks achieved more than Hamed, no doubt about that IMO.
