Biggest Hype Job

[Fenster]

JCC Jr. and Amir Khan currently.

To be fair.. Khan was a 17-year-old Olympic silver medalist hailing from Britain - not a place exactly overrun by worldwide boxing champions.

And he is a very talented fighter.. just has a brain malfunction when it comes to defence and unfortunately possesses one of the most fragile chins ever known to man.

I can't think of a fighter with more undeserved hype though, the Reebok sponsorship and PPV events, surely his career thus far should not merit such things. Hatton has truely earned his PPV status through attrition, I'm not a fan, but he has fought his way to where he is. You don't see Andre Ward headlining PPV events.

I agree.. it's very annoying that Khan has NOT even proven himself to be the best lightweight in the UK.

But you have to bear in mind that Britain is tiny compared to the US.. so obviously potential world stars are far more infrequent.

If Andre Ward was British he'd be in Khan's boat.. you could bet your house on that
