      he's not even popular in the uk so there goes your racist conspiracy theories right out the window. he just had a shi-ty promoter unlike a crappy fighter like chavez jr who has a great promoter.

        Ricky Hatton has something to say about that.

        15k-20k fans coming to his biggest fights in the states.

        Nearly 2 million US PPVs combined with Mayweather and Pacquiao.

        2 million with the Mayweather fight in UK PPVs.

          Hatton was trash though. Of course build up the ****ty white UK fighter, and let the legit one (froch) get no attention.

              It has nothing to do with race, just the fact that British boxing fans are the most ill informed in the entire world.

              Ricky Hatton came along at the right time to become popular, he didn't have to share the spotlight with anyone as he was the only British fighter worth half a **** in the early 2000's.

              Now that there are 2 ****** ****s like Haye and Khan muddying up the waters the Limeys can't get their drunken unemployed heads out of their asses long enough to recognize that Froch is actually their best fighter.

              Not only is Froch the better fighter, but he is also the better interview and superior personality.

              While Haye's unoriginal ass rambles on like a half assed broken record and Amir Khan makes a **** of himself on twitter with his pre pubescent spelling skills Froch is out there dropping one liners and making up witty remarks off the cuff.

              If Froch were as big a **** as Haye and Khan it would make sense why people don't follow him. Alas that isn't true and there is no other logical connection to draw other than either A) The fans are ****** and ill informed or B) They are unoriginal ****s themselves who can't think on their feet and appreciate a couple dip****s like Haye and Khan whose public words remind them of themselves and their pathetic boxingscene posts.

                Hatton beat Tszyu handily.

                If Froch dominates Andre Ward, he'll get the recognition you want him to get.

                Who has Froch dominated, Arthur Abraham? yeah so did Dirrell and Ward, and Miranda stopped Abraham in the first fight, but the fight was some how brought back to life after it was waved off.

                Froch could not dominate an unknown Pascal, Taylor dominated Froch for 12 rounds before finding a way to get KTFO in the last seconds, Froch did not dominate Dirrell, he didn't even beat him, he did not dominate Kessler, nor beat him, he beat Glen Johnson, that's a good win but Glen is not the best at 168. Hatton ran through the best at 140 and was lineal champ for 4 years. Has Froch done that?

                    De La Hoya has a good resume too, but he didn't beat every body. Going through a tough resume vs beating everyone on a tough resume is very different.

                    Hoya lost to Mayweather, Hopkins, Pacquiao, Mosley, etc. That's a rough resume to go through with those 4 alone.

                    Froch lost to Kessler, I had him losing to Dirrell, and Ward is probably gonna beat him.

                    When Froch becomes the 168 Ring/Lineal champion and dominates 168 for 4 years. I'm sure he'll get the same amount of loyal fans Hatton got.
