    I think he over achieved in his career. Considering he pretty much fought with only one eye

    Paul Willams.

    completely overated after beating Margarito.

    quite a few guys thought he could beat Mayweather lol then got exposed by a slick southpaw Carlos Quintana who showed that good lateral movement and great counter skills and accuracy is all you need to beat Willams. Williams did good to dominate him in the rematch though, now he is back to being overated again.

    Shame he got knocked out in the second fight after exposing Williams. Too much confidence maybe?

    Its not always the boxers fault either;half the time its the fat boys in suits spewing out bullshit to get the masses feeling like national pride will get a new free ride.$$$. Fight fans know its an each way bet all the way. With all the strings attached to fighters and the expectations of a nation or the world riding along ,no wonder some are caught up in it all only to lose heart when they awaken from a ring nap or meet a style with all their answers.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    Agree and I guess it applies to every Jr. out there. They have the father's name so imagine the pressure they have to carry .

    Theres no competition for this one. Has to be the one and only Audley Harrison, no one in the history of boxing has been so overly hyped and so embarrassingly been exposed!! imo

    I dont think folks over in america realise how much over hyped he was but here in the Uk it was a daily barrage of bullshit untill he got knocked out.

    I am an Aussie but i was in the UK in 2001 to see Fraudly's first fight against some poor janitor. Your right about the bullshit being talked about him. I remember one commentator saying he is like Lewis but better. That he'd be champ within 10 fights....
    Millions watched that first fight, we even had the big screen showing it in the pub i was living in.
