    Compare British support to American support...not even close.

    I imagine that every single Yank sportsman out there secretly wishes they were British.

    Fair play for being the most uneducated biased ******* on here.

    Hatton was never a great - he got badly exposed when he met HoF level fighters. However, he beat some top class fighters in his time, so carry on making a complete ***** out of yourself.

    Exactly, shame the yanks are more arm chair fans than real supporters.

    Still the most atmospheric weigh-in that I've ever seen. Really great.

    Even after the fight was over, and Hatton had been stopped, you could still hear his fans cheering for him.

    A bunch of disrespectful drunken idiots who booed the national anthem of the country they were staying in.

    Don't take it personally it's just football culture, don't do it myself but know a lot of people that do, they'll boo any opponent who is facing their fighter regardless of the national anthem.

    Why? Hatton got his Glass Jaw shattered in brutal and embarrassing fashion. We had the last laugh.

    No offense to the Cymru lads or the Scottish fellows, but I'm quite delighted that I'm not British.

    I wouldn't be that bothered it's a boring anthem anyway, it's only banter.

    Are you denying that Ricky Hatton was a filthy fighter? Many English posters on these boards praise Hatton's filth in the Kostya Tszyu fight as Dave Parriss personally wrote the book on how to be a biased, incompetent ref, but at the same time claim shitty Joe Cortez "ruined" the Mayweather fight.

    Fair enough:good. However, would you say the majority of your countrymen are in agreement with your opinion?
