    Entertaining inside the ring
    Entertaining outside the ring
    Current SMW World Champion
    Never been kod like Hatton, Khan or Haye
    Just beat a top 10 p4p fighter in Bute

    Yet he might as well be the Invisible man. People care more about two unliscenced unranked heavyweights and a glass chinned bum than the Cobra.

    Did he **** in someones oatmeal? Why Hatton/Haye/Khan and not Cobra?

    Being ugly sucks you have to be pretty, like me.


    Now it's time to be serious. I think alot has to do with.. I don't know really. He is really entertaining, he fights the best and he talks alot.


    He should be a superstar in britan.

    There is good reason why the English went ape **** over Hatton more so than any fighter in recent memory.

    Think about it!

    It's because they can relate to hatton as he's closer to the working class commoners who drink and do coke in the toilets inside the bars in Manchester.

    Kahn has the muslim community to target so that's why he's backed and haye has his looks and charisma and of course britain need a heavyweight to hang their hopes on to be the next champion of the world.

    Froch is just ordinary in personality and hasn't really got a target audience even though he's the most grounded and hard working fighters out of the lot in terms of being professional and putting in consistent performances.

    Bottom line is it's all flash over substances, hype sells.
