Most british boxers have miles of more class than american fighters Benn, Eubank, and Calzaghe among them so why is Hatton liked more?

He is more popular than Naseem, because he comes across on TV (rightly or wrongly) as a much nicer person.
depends how u wanna define popular? popular as in more known - no way. absolutely everyone i knew was talkin about Naseem Hamed in his hey day. no one talks about hatton outside of boxing, they just know he's an 'alrite fighter from manchester'.

popular as in more liked - yes u are definately right. though Naz did have his fans.
Popular, as in more liked, is indeed what I meant, I would agree Naseem is more known by the general public, in his pomp.
