I think most British boxing fans identify with Ricky Hatton, as he is your typical, "bloke from down the pub". A true Englishman, a sense of pride and rough and ready tactics who wears his heart on his sleeve. Or errr Shorts?

Calzaghe doesnt have the same support, Lewis beat everyone but his wins would not amount (in my opinion) to the win of Hatton against Mayweather.

Benn and Eubank never really got to the heights Hatton would if he beat Mayweather.

So I would say yes, simply because Hatton seems to be on his way to being the most popular British fighter ever.

He is simply...One of Us.
