Hatton could very well land loads of fans if he get's up off the canvas & turns it into a war.

Think about it.
I did, and it's not the best thing for Hatton to do "career" wise, USA wise but not "career wise" othrwise he becomes another Morales.
What's wrong with Morales?

Morales has had a great career. He's only been dropped by Pacquiao...

Morales is highly respected...even after getting stopped.

There's a lot of speculation with many U.S. fans as to whether or not Hatton is the real deal...just like there was speculation with Calzaghe.

Hatton will do fine...but he's got some winning over to do stateside before most American fan's put all their eggs in Hatton's basket.
