    Yeah well it's all opinions isn't it.

    Nobody can ever say that they are 100% correct on this issue, no point in arguing over it really.

    It's not just his best mate Enzo or The Hitman saying he's one of the best......Nigel Benn goes one step further on the site that is the scene of boxing.......

    Very kind words from Ricky Hatton, classy thing to say regardless of where you place Joe in history.

    Resume wise, you could argue Hatton is better than Calzaghe

    Calzaghe is an excellent fighter, not our best though. His career from 2001-2006 was a joke, the last 2 1/2 years have been mighty impressive none the less. Not up there with Lennox for 1

    Rickys clearly got a VERY short memory. Has he forgotten the careers of Lennox Lewis, Naz, Eubank Benn etc who all trod the path too glory far more clout than WBO Joe. Everything that comes out of that mans mouth is tosh. Typical Warren fighter and nothing more.
