Ricky Hatton ,the most popular sportsman ever ?

[HattonTheHammer]

he`s not even the most popular british sports star at present.

Im pretty sure David Beckham outnumbers hatton a good 10-1 in terms of publicity, press attention etc

Hattons been loved over the years because he has managed to mantain his working class routes and never felt the need to follow suit of those prior to him by badmouthing opponents etc.

He`s certainly the most popular boxer we have right now....dont know about sportsman though

[Mark TKO]

Had no idea that Bruno took so many to Vegas for his second Tyson showdown.

Talking of that I wanted to watch Bruno Tyson I and listen to Harry Carpenter's overexcited commentary when Frank tags him owards the end of the first Always makes me smile.

Couldn't find it on youtube though - only american commentaries.

If anyone has a link would be most grateful

cheers
