Ricky Hatton was the most supported boxer in the history of boxing. I went to Manchester for the lazcano fight and and all the pubs were packed singing Hatton songs. The city was on fire. He fought at the etihad in front of 60,000 biggest post war audience before Frisch v groves. The atmosphere was better than any American could achieve. Against may weather it was us Brits that made the event. Who else comes remotely close?

Arturo Gatti in Atlantic City, NJ. He didn't draw 60k people out for a fight, but his audience rode with him, win or lose, until he was done with the sport (and likely would've loved him for well long after, were it not for what happened)
