I like Ricky Hatton, alot actually. But he isn't a top ten guy, and everyone knows that. If Joe loses, which is highly possible, much more than Vegas is giving it, IMO. What will British fans do? They are a passionate nation when it comes to boxing, yet they won't have one elite fighter. Atleast Lennox Lewis is still on HBO. He is by also the best announcer of the crew. Lennox was the man. It may be bleak for British boxing on a global scale.

No announcement yet.
There will be no "percieved" great fighters left in Britain if Joe Calzaghe loses.

Even if Calzaghe was to lose and drop off the p4p the British boxing scene would still persevere. The press would just turn to guys like Haye and Froch and give them even more attention. It is the nature of the beast over there. They love their sport and they love their own.
