There is only one Ricky Hatton and it would be unmatched, Its too late for Froch because he was never sold in the right way to the fans, He had a previous promoter who did a terrible job of promoting him, Frank warren who promotes Hatton at the time was a genius.

Do you think this fight will propel him into the limelight like the Hatton-Tszyu fight? I hope it does because I cant help but love this guys attitude and demeanor.

With that said will his fans follow him by the thousands from country to country like Hattons fans did for him? The UK has some great fans, I'd like to see them embrace Froch like they did Ricky.

We are thee most deafening fans in the world.

If Froch had turned pro with a decent promoter and been built up properly im sure he would be a huge star now but at 35 years old i fear its too late for him to reach superstar level in the UK, its a shame cause he is a true warrior and should be a national treasure but Mick Hennesey ****ed up the early part of his career!

Ricky's image was brilliantly created by Frank Warren, it made him the huge draw he became. Warren marketed him as your dumb but witty mate who happened to box a bit.
Froch, on the other hand, and for all that I think he's a superior fighter, comes off as far too confident and intelligent for the mainstream British sports public to ever embrace him as one of their own.
We British like happy idiots, and we like plucky losers. Ricky fulfilled both roles admirably. (Not criticising Ricky's excellent career, just that he never reached the very, very pinnacle of the sport. Brits like to feel dismayed, we're a strange bunch).

The likes of Frank Bruno, Ricky Hatton, Barry McGuigan, Nigel Benn ect.
All underrated boxers (IMO) and down to earth men.
