    Who Is The Most Supported British Fighter?

    My question is simple who has had the best following from Britain? Most loyal fans, best support?

    I would say Ricky Hatton because of the support he got in the Mayweather fight. I've never seen or heard that amount of support for a British fighter in taken all the way to America! Not just at the fight but at the weigh in everywhere! Calzaghe was well supported in America but not on the scale of Hatton.

    It's definitely Hatton now, 50,000+ to watch him fight Lazcano is unbelievable fan support.

      Steve Collins is from Cork in the Republic of Ireland.

      Hatton could sell out the MEN fighting me.

          That's a good point right there and an extreme oversight on my part. Just forget about Collins then. I can't even edit him out! B*stard!!

              Recent times has to be Ricky. Naseem a close second.

              Joe is the most overrated and nuthugged British fighter of all time. Know-nothings who claim he was better than Lewis or Wilde is proof of this.

              Lennox wasn't overly supported by Brit fans early in his career and had to earn their support through his great career.

                    Herbie Hide get's my vote as usual.

                    Soon to become undisputed Cruiserweight champ after his latest crushing win of a random Lithuanian.
