If Khan fights Mayweather will he have a Hatton type following?

Hatton fan base of drunken football fans are a one off. Khan is the most popular fighter in the UK Will get more then any other fighter in terms of support.

When Giroud retires, he could be streaks ahead of Henry. Only if Giroud can get in front of Sanogo in the pecking order.

When I look at Hatton's resume it just looks very weak. Maybe it was an overstatement to say Khans resume is better right now. However, when Khan hangs up his gloves his resume could be streaks above Hattons. When Giroud retires, he could be streaks ahead of Henry.

That still doesn't explain how Khan has a better resume. You've named one win as being better than any Hatton win which is extremely debatable. Kostya Tszyu was the lineal champion and far better than Marcos Maidana for starters. We're talking about a whole resume though When I look at Hatton's resume it just looks very weak.

Amir Khan is a road worrier who stepped up in class early and has won some big fights. This was all done before his 30th fight. Hatton was still fighting in his backyard 40 fights in for the WBU title :lol1: Hattons best win comes against Kostya Tszyu who was on his last legs and he lost his two mega fights. Khans win over Maidana > then any Hatton win. That still doesn't explain how Khan has a better resume. You've named one win as being better than any Hatton win which is extremely debatable.

There was never a need for fans to defend Hatton, because he was cut from a different cloth and delivered constantly. Khan's fans, who are just as delusional as he is, are stupid, ignorant, outright moronic, can't read, can't comprehend simple sentences etc ... Are always trying to defend Khan from factual statements made by non-nut-huggin boxing fans. If you idiots delusion had even a hint of reality, there would be no need to defend Khan's record or anything else related to Khan's career. The simple fact that you morons flock in droves to defend Khan at every turn demonstrates without question .......... That there is plenty about Khan that is extremely suspect. You're a nob. Khan has had a far better career so far. Keep looking at Hattons resume with rose tinted glasses.

anybody questioning Khans and heart and passion in that ring is a moron You deluded fool. Khan has a tonne of heart and is ready to step into the ring with anyone.

Allot of Hattons fans were pissed up football hooligans, who didn't particularly go looking for a fight in boxing arena's as generally people who are interested in the sport and who actually attend the fights have a chance of some background in boxing. This toned down the hooliganism abit as they didn't want to be battered by some amateur/pro boxers. Answering the question however no Khan doesn't gather the same following, his fans are generally taken from his own ethnicity and other ethnic minorities, and although a massive amount of them are also white, it doesn't add up to that of Hattons.

You deluded fool. Khan has a tonne of heart and is ready to step into the ring with anyone. Khan also has a better resume then Hatton. Deal with it. How exactly does Khan have a better resume than Hatton?

IMO Khan would sell a lot if it was Pac or Mayweather.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! Khan isn't even within reach to hold Hatton's jock strap and the Brits know it. Hatton may have had many technical\personal flaws, but what he lacked in technique, he made up for three-fold in aggression, passion and heart. Hatton was the real deal:boxing: .... Khan is just an imposter:bottle:. You deluded fool. Khan has a tonne of heart and is ready to step into the ring with anyone. Khan also has a better resume then Hatton. Deal with it.

Hatton had a huge following and when he fought Mayweather there were tons of fans from the UK who came over. Do you guys think Khan will have the same type of support if he gets the Mayweather fight?

I can't see that happening I got reasons just don't feel like sharing

He probably will. English fans might be the most loyal devoted fans in boxing. The fighter doesn't have to be very good. He just has to be fighting for a title and be from the UK. When you read a poster on here saying how good Khan is that poster is usually from the UK. I think Brook will get the same support and he is better than Khan. Most non UK boxing fans don't think Khan is very good and think he has a glass jaw it least it seems that way.

f#ck no! if he somehow wins, he obviously will.

Damn I was hoping they were going to come out for Khan. Oh well Nope won't happen I'm afraid. If Froch fights Chavez in Vegas then there will be more fans travelling than for Khan but still not Hatton levels.

No, Hatton appealed to the UK fanbase because a lot of them saw themeselves in Ricky. He was a crude dude that like to drink and endulge between fights and was a brawler. Khan does not have that type of passionate fanbases. The UK fight fans will root for their countrymen but it won't be anywhere near Hatton level of fandom. That weigh in and 24/7 was the best ever still hasn't been topped. this is true.... i was a bigger hatton fan then khan fan...im not even a khan fan i think he is a good boxer (at times) and thats about it there is nothing to really be a fan of his for... bruno had a big following also.......but khans following is low considering he is a former would champion....and active fighter... if he was to fight mayweather in the uk im going to the fight to watch mayweather... sorry queen khant

I can't see Khan equaling the amount of support that Hatton got for that fight..that was something to see. When I saw Khan fight here in LA he did have a fair number of Pakistani fans who brought flag to the fight. Not a huge contingent as the venue wasn't even that big (nor was it sold out)..but he might be able to draw from a different US group as Hatton which is a plus. That still wouldn't be enough obviousl, so he'd also need to draw from US-based Hatton fans o those who will also support any Brit regardless...remind them how fun it was last time a countrymen got the shot at Floyd. boxing fans of all backgrounds know Khan is up and down so IDK if the fervor would be there. I've come around on it. also the fight won't be like hatton that because it's not two undefeated fighters, it's not white v black, lw v WW. That fight had a lot going on
