Froch is gonna be a HUGE UK name now

[Hanton11]

I think Khan is more well known in this country, but Froch has more people willing to go out and watch him fight.

However, it's difficult to compare exactly because Froch has always fought a better standard of opposition in the Uk than Khan.

Tell me how Khan is bigger? Khan hasn't even beaten better competition than Froch too.

Khan had a head start with popularity being the only british representitive from great britain in the olympics, won a silver medal and was exciting with blazing hand speed. Was promoted big from first pro debut etc. And one thing that keeps him popular now is his big british/pakistani fan base.

If he beat Ward in the UK at a 50K+ arena I would think differently. This is all fantasy talk but again you did say "never" and I say "never say never"

Hatton had a football like following, it was a lot to do with his image and style of fighting

No fans are going to travel across the pond in their 1000's to support Froch or Khan or Haye, no matter who they beat

Froch will bring big numbers across the pond now. He was a nobody (In terms of casuals) even as soon as the Ward fight but since the Bute fight something happened to Froch's popularity it just exploded.

Wrong about Haye though. I know for a fact he brought about 5000 UK fans to the Imtech Arena. Even when he wasn't a huge name he still brought about 2000 fans to the Valuev fight. Dunno about Khan but again I'm sure he brought around 1500-2000 for his last few US fights.
