    Hatton fan here. Like Haye and Joe C too.

    In fact I like most British fighters. Not keen on A-Force, Froch or Khan but that's more a personality thing (or at least the way they are portrayed). From a boxing point of view I dont particularly enjoy watching Witter, Audley, Sprott or Skelton.

    All the kids and prospects around at the moment though appear exciting. Although I wasnt impressed with Chisora's last outing!

    Like most british fighters in particular Froch, Murray, Rhodes, Munroe, Jennings, Truscott, Napa, Gomez, Moore.

    But definitely like and back the local lads the most, Mutley, Gethin, D.Harrison, McDermott etc etc

    I like Haye, Froch and McCloskey.

    I liked Calzaghe near the end of his career.

    In relation to Hatton I would be more "Betty Swollocks" than "GazOc".:D

    I dislike the product that is KHAN.

    I don't have any really strong feelings in regard to the rest.

    Agree with that there.

    On his own and boxing style I actually like Khan, he's slick, fast and exciting to watch, just dont like the hype/hangers on.

    You mean you're more a mentally ill obsessive than a calm, reasonable advocate ?...:p

    I'm not a "fan" of any of the current British boxers. But I like Hatton, Witter and to a lesser degree Haye, Khan and Froch.
