    25,000, which were mostly Brits? Yeah, his Brit appeal is beyond question, but will he have transnational and crossover appeal among boxing fans and casuals?

    He has charisma who can crack jokes about himself. Lovable and a working class hero. The average next-door guy type. (Heck, he can arguably beat Manny in these departments, as Manny is more of the epical romantic hero type). But still IMO, there is much room to be desired. Prolly, given time to build on his resume, he can. But as somebody pointed out, Ricky might be good for 3 or 4 fights more, which i don't think would be enough to build something legendary on...

    A huge fight with Amir Khan after he beats PAC.
    I cannot see PAC taking Hattons pressure and body shots.

    ^^ Amir Khan, you kidding right? :)

    A fight with the JMM/FMJ winner is more logical to sustain the momentum...

    A fight in the UK for Hatton would be huge and the WBA title if Khan wins his next fight. But with Warren involved, things become difficult.

    He has a huge fan base in Mexico. Why they call him the Mexican Mancunian or whatever.
