    No, people know that he is a decent fighter. People dont like his attitude he talks out of his arse most of the time,thats why alot of people dont like him it has got nothing to do with his boxing ability imo.

    I'd kinda disagree there.
    The people that hate him still criticise his boxing ability. No matter who he beats and how, they will find fault. That's just the way some folk are.

    No can't see him ever being popular over here now. too many haters from the outset as audley did etc..

    I don't like him - no secret - but he did do a clinical job last night. Just tired of his mouth how he wants to face him and him and him etc.. but we all know the next opponent will be a good 'but not dangerous' one.

    I have a long way to go before I have posters of him on my wall like Miles does thats for sure

    He could become, but it will take 2 things: 1) 2-3 extra good and impressive wins, 2) to give his manager his twitter account and to stop being an idiot outside the ring. Could he manage that, his popularity will raise importantly.

    Khan will never ever get the fanbase that David Haye has got here nor be more popular in this country than Haye.
    Back by popular demand!

    He doesn't need to fight Prescott again, he just needs to show he can beat a guy that can really punch. Maidana would do, after he beats him some would just say he beat a slow, crude guy but I think overall he'd get more credit.

    For only having 1% bodyfat his abs aren't that defined. ICB's are way better.

    Just read Paulie in an interview on ESPN say in his career he has been beat by two world class fighters Cotto and Khan, no mention of Hatton. He does seem to give no credit to Hatton for that victory whatsoever, does everyone else think it was soley down to Paulie having a rough patch with McGirt? I think Paulie is a very honest guy and says it how it is but I think he is very harsh on Hatton in this fight not giving him any credit whatsover, I think Hatton would of been too much for any version of Paulie.

    I think he is a good fighter but i dislike him because of the way he presents himself and the dumbshit he does if he had a decent chin to back up his stupidity i would be more inclined to support him but he doesn't.

    I agree, he just talks way too much poo for me without the back-up. But he's getting there I'd say. He's beat paulie now, which is years ahead of what Hatton achieved at his age.

    True, but Hatton was never fast tracked like Amir Khan and headlining PPV's whilst fighting bums early on. Hatton worked his way up the proper way, but Warren did hold him back a bit too long. We shouldn't knock Hatton though, as he has proven he has balls. Khan is on the right track with the Paulie fight, but it's still a case of fighting leftovers. He needs to prove himself a champ by fighting someone hungry who can actually punch back. He hasn't been doing that at all, let's see if he really does fight a puncher next.
