Fighters like Ali's words and actions moved and inspired people on a level beyond boxing. I don't know what about Hatton exactly creates unrivaled passion or emotion? Being a decent boxer and being vocal about your love of darts and cheese pasties?

Granted you have your opinion, but i can catagorically say no incidents occured that I witnessed, so tarring us with that brush is simply small minded !
He was talking about the type of people, not their specific actions.

For example I'd never heard such a large boxing crowd boo another country's national anthem before.... certainatly not that audable.


As I was one of the english men in the arena that night, I personally was booing Mayweather's image on the Big screen, not the anthem, the is a huge difference bud
that's hardly any better.

It's equally as ignorant not being aware of how your actions will be percieved based on your situation.

Sort of the equivalent of thinking of something funny during a funeral and then laughing out loud about it.

"Oh no... I wasn't laughing at the deceased guv, I read something funny this morning... and... um... I was just... um..."

But basically the long and short of it is, as one of the Englishmen there, you were one of the Englishmen there, so speak for yourself... bud.
