Will Khan ever be more popular than Hatton in the UK?

[No1]

he's a better fighter technically than hatton baring his crap chin, but for popularity he'll never reach the heights of hatton.

[Abstraction]

No, simple because he is Asian.

Anyone who disagree's knows deep down their being naive and are in denial.

You only need to look at his last bout against barrera, where he was boo'd silly in the entire stadium.

wasn't Amir Khan boo'ed when announced at the Hatton - Pacquiao weigh in. That was funny.

Spot On. The reason Hatton has so many fans is because we have a big beer boy culture here and outside of boxing, he is exactly the same as they are. The fans hatton has are all football fans and the type of person that go to an Oasis gig and like the band because they drink and swear and sing shout along boozy anthems. They're not boxing fans as such, just fans of the event. I hate to stereotype so much but i bet i'm not far wrong.

Pretty much what i was gonna say.
