    Lennox is black. who did have alot of loyal Brit fans
    Naseem is an arab who also had alot of fans.
    Hatton is white and the Brits need and want more white boxing champs.This is why Khan wont be popular.
    Lewis was disliked by many British fans on the grounds that he was to North American, whatever that means. They chose to support a dude who was known for being twice Tysons size, but loking like he was walking his last mile during the ring entrance (Bruno). Many of them, actually most of them Hated Naseem Hamed for God knows what, since he was by far their most entertaining fghtr and had charisma. However 30K of them will fly over to see Hatton get killed by Pacquiao and get embarassed by Mayweather.

          I think it's got a little bit to do with race.

            But there is alot of Pakistanis and Indian in UK.

            I think if Amir Khan was successful he will open the doors for other middle eastern to enter to boxing.

            Naseem was one ****y entertianer. He hits strong in some weird angles that you rarely see boxers do today.

            But he was too ****y that he even didnt train for Barrera fight.
            i hope Amir Khan will be successful but he wont get anyway near the same following as lennox lewis.let alone Hatton.
            When was the last white British world champ?

                Dunno if its true that brits dont support the likes of Hamed/Lewis as much, but Hamed was the man i loved that dude. Funny as hell, huge power, great style etc and ended up with a good record which he should of done better with but still. :****you: to all the Hamed got owned by Barrera ****, that fight was pretty close due to the dirty antics of Barrera and Hamed didnt even train!

                Hatton tho i guess cause he is white and likes a drink doesn't appeal to me tbh unlike most other brits but then again im half American/English anyway.

                  it depends on his publicty

                  Amir Khan has alot of pressure because he not only represent Brit but South Asian brit.

                  it same with Pac. Pac has all of his nation on his shoulder and he is something big. People alway complain about Pac nuthnger but once I heard in BBC radio after the Hatton fight why Pac is very big in philipines. There nation has alot of corruption, economic downturn, civil wars....etc the only postive thing they have is Pac which represent there hope.

                  So when Pac fight it alot pressure from that.

                    yeah but that was his fault. He wasnt quick as he used to be.

                    Also the time when for his comeback came near 9/11 which is not a good time for him to comeback
