    What the hell are you talking about? European fans are anything but! The only people slagging Hatton on the Brit forum are the same ones who have always done so! He's still popular enough to have drawn 55,000 for his comeback bout and will take thousands to the States again for Malignaggi.

    Khan has never been the most popular fighter with the Brits for reasons outside the ring, but even those who wanted him to succeed tended to think that chin was going to find him out sooner on later. Admittedly I didn[t think it would be this early. You are right he is a VERY talented boxer but it counts for nought if you're on your arse the minute you get whacked on the chin!

    As for Kessler, he is the real deal and i don't see anyone else in the super middle rankings who I'd favour to beat him. He's already whopped the Ring #2 and #4 super middles (Mundine and Andrade) and who else is there? Bute maybe, but he needs to set the record straight with Andrade first. Lacy, Froch, Inkin no chance. About the best bet would be Taylor (assuming he gets past Lacy), he has the speed and athletic ability but I'm not sure about the ring smarts, that's a 50/50 bout for mine.
