It's all bullshit.

Certain fighters get overhyped no matter where they are from.

Take Carl Froch. Lots of posters have called him an "overhyped Brit," and yet the only two diehard fans, amongst the regulars, before he beat Pascal/Taylor, were Tam and Smashup. Almost every other regular Brit poster voiced concerns about his shitty defence, among other things, stopping him at world-level.
I respect that Froch has a chin to take a lot of the stuff that his shitty defence allow through, but I'm still voicing the doubts! Fair play, he's done well for himself, but the fact is if someone's guilty of hyping him it's more likely to be Americans than us....we won't even give him a tv deal!!!
