Would this be the Biggest British Win?

[AC-Cobra]

I'm from Canada so I don't get to back a top fighter from my own country too often. But if Hatton and Mayweather met, and Hatton won... would that be the hugest thing over there?

I would imagine that the country would just go absolutely nuts. Would this be the biggest win in boxing for you guys?

I'm not British...but I think that I can speak for boxing by saying...HELL YEAH!!!

Hatton is generally a Northern phenomenon, and in Britain, sadly very few people have ever heard of Mayweather....

The biggest ever upset to the masses, would be that left hook.... followed by Turpin/Robinson and then Benn/McClellan and Honeyghan/Curry

Usually agree with ya Britkid but gotta pick at something here, Hattons a Northern phenomenon?

I'll accept his popularity up North is big because of his hometown etc, but are you suggesting he's not appreciated or as popular down south? That I would have to disagree with. Hatton is popular with nearly all British Boxing fans because he has that one attribute that all Brits love - the British Bulldog/Grinder mentality. The sheer grit. Determination. The I dont care if I'm a 50 point fooking underdog, I'm gonna do this and your gonna see I'm the best. Its the same reason tough guys like Bobby Moore or John Terry will always be more popular (with pure sports fans) than someone like DAcid Beckham. Hattons grit appeals to everyone, North or South and if he won the BOXING nation would go wild. Unfortunately the sport is so under covered here, on a national sports scale it wouldnt make nearly as big a spash.
