See the Hatton/Mayweather and Hatton/Pacquiao fights. They couldn't even accept that the better fighter and talent won. It was every excuse in the book used. So I expect the same thing here.
I disagree with that. All that was said about the Mayweather fight was that Cortez was a disgrace and Mayweather got away with an awful lot of fouls - use of the forearm, ducking below the waist etc...

Hardly anybody believed the result would have been any different had Hatton have been given a fairer shake anyway.

As for the Hatton - Pacquiao fight, i again fail to see where you are coming from. Most people seems to be in agreement that Hatton's gameplan, or lack of one, was a one of the many factors of his downfall. Don't remember many thinking Pacquiao cheated.

I think you have made the mistake of thinking all Brits unconditionally love all British fighters. As a Brit i would take great pleasure in seeing David Haye put on his arse.
