    I think Sleazenation has as much love for Hatton as Carl Froch has for Mick Hennessy.

    Apparently Big Mick has promoted him sensationally, and the marketing material is simply unbelievable.

    Marketing material like:

    'I consider Carl to be the best super middleweight in the world at the moment, we have made offers to Joe Calzaghe and to Mikkel Kessler but nobody seems to want to fight Carl'

    'Carl Froch beat Robin Reid in a much more convincing manner than Calzaghe did - perhaps that is why Joe doesn't seem to be interested'

    Note to The Fat Cockney Wideboy:

    Marketing fighters involves much more than simply dissing a champion in a particular division. It involves advertising, imaginative names for bills (as opposed to 'High Stakes') and giving fighters funny nicknames - 'The Cobra' and 'The Hitter' just don't cut it i'm afraid.

    I don't like Hatton (due to pathetic excuses for not fighting Witter) or Froch (just not keen on him - a bit of a knob) but I truly detest Witter (for being a complete and total ****** and for thinking he was anywhere near Hatton's level) and Amir Khan (arrogant ****face). I'll edit this later when I think of a fighter that I actually like. The closest one I can think of right now is Enzo Mac....

    I like all the British fighters

    I COULD dislike all of them for reasons already stated, but I choose to support them and always want them to win

    I just ain't a hater I guess. However I DO hate people calling fighters 'bums' and daft **** like that, rubbish attitude.

    The most hated are probably Khan, Hatton and Duddy. I don't like arrogant fighters like Froch and Witter, if they accomplish more like Haye then I wouldn't mind at all.

    Like Calzaghe. Favourite fighter.

    Gone off Hatton a bit. Not as entertaining as he used to be.

    Witter should of stepped his comp up a little sooner to get the Hatton fight. I don't particularly like him, but he paid his dues and did earn a crack at Hatton until Bradley. Don't think he could of beaten Hatton.

    Haye is entertaining. I think his career will be very shortlived. He's either gonna get a title and defend it against some decent names and retire before his 30th fight or he's gonna get blown out of the water and just retire a little sooner.

    Froch i'm starting to come round to. He's a little less brash than he used to be and has signed to fight Inkin twice whch in my mind means he wants the challenges and his looking for the right fights now. He also likes Johnny Cash.

    Khan I just want to see lose. This is to derail the disgusting British Media hypetrain. After that, I don't mind how he does.
