British fighter of the decade (2000-2009)

What about Johnny Nelson :yep

 

A cut is what it is. It's a fair victory because ultimately you are trying to damage your opponent, but at the same time any of Vitali's numerous punches that landed on Lewis might have cut him, its just one of those things...

It wasn't exactly where he conclusively proved he was better on the night, and neither did Calzaghe.

They were both could have been justified rematches. Hopkins is better than Vitali, thats what it comes down to.

 

Hey Brit Forum posters

Get your ass into the lounge and vote on my jennifer dooley poll

Do it !!!!!!!

 

Yes it does.:huh
Calzaghe had a superb last couple of years in his career. That should be clear to anyone who isn't biased or has some sort of agenda.
Though it does put the rest of his career into a less than flattering light.

Anyway. Calzaghe clearly from 2000 although I rank Lewis higher on any atg list.

 

I'd say Calzaghe as he fought for a longer part of the decade. Lewis 2nd and Hatton 3rd.

 

Boro Chris - How on earth can you call Hopkins (43) and a Jones who was already the middleweight champion of the world the day Calzaghe debuted a 'superb' end to a career. Or is it possibly the Kessler (good but not great) the green and totally overated Lacy (had had 24 fights and done **** all since) and the 2 reality TV stars he beat that cemented his legacy ?

 

Well, Ricky Hatton would have alot more votes if he didn't fight the two best p4p boxers, he certainly fought better opposition than Calzaghe. Scott Harrison could be in there if it wasn't for his antics outside the ring, if only he was around long enough to fight JMM, I'd have love to have seen that fight.

 

:huh:huh:huh

 

Calzaghe became undisputed super middleweight champion, winning the title from Lacy and the remaining two titles from Kessler.

He stepped up a weight and became Ring Champ at light heavy beating a legend.

That's a pretty good last couple of years in anybodies book...

 

Pretty good, not superb

 

Shut the **** up. And take your avatar down before I throw up again, you look like a ****ing dyke.

 

Ha Ha ****ing G.I Jane

 

:rofl:rofl

 

Ok, if Hatton stayed at light-welter and never fought floyd, and he never fought Pac, people would probobly think he was the best British fighter of the decade because he'd still be unbeaten. He could probobly beat Tim Bradly or Holt or Witter, and if he did so i think most people would say he's the best of the decade. No?

 

By British standards it is superb. Havn't seen too many other fighters with comparable achivements in recent years.
