    What % of his fans do you estimate are from in and around Manchester?

    Is anyone on here a fan of Hatton and Calzaghe? Seems in most cases it's one or the other (I think Betty Swollocks + Scurla hate them both).

    I would have said a fair few of his fans are from Scumchester, but given how popular he is, and the proportion of people in Scumchester as opposed to the rest of the country, I would suggest a figure of around 10%

    I like Hatton, and used to like Calzaghe just as much until after the Hopkins fight..... and going off him more and more, every time I hear him speak to be honest.

    I like Hatton (but not as much as I used to) and I could never stand Calzaghe at all.

    I used to like Calzaghe.Now I don't hate him I just don't mind him.I give him credit for his win over B-HOP especially since he beat Pavlik.However,he looks a right **** after saying what he said about Roy in his book then fighting him claiming he can still fight blah blah........Also dont like him going on about this ****ing legacy.Enzo is a total **** I do hate him and I'm glad his paper champions have been embarrased

    I like both fighters. I like most British fighters, I even like Witter & Froch and they both dislike Hatton & Calzaghe.

    I like both.

    I'm from Liverpool, yes it's near Manchester but we traditionally hate mancs. So Hatton's done well to win me over.

    I'm a fan of Hatton. I just don't mind Calzaghe. In fact I like most British fighters. Except Enzo Macca. He gets on my nerves.

    I like both. I like Calzaghe more because he's Welsh and he's a genuine down to earth guy where as Hatton says he is but we all know it's bollocks.

    I like most British fighters to be honest apart from Froch and Haye who I can't stand.

    I like Hatton, he's a decent down to Earth bloke. Calzaghe is OK if a little uninteresting when interviewed, I support pretty much every British boxer when they fight abroad TBH.
