    I think you should take Jones off that list.... that was a joke fight. Many people would say the same about Hopkins too but I actually think a younger Hopkins would of been a little easier to beat than the one that Joe fought.

    calzaghe vs hatton head-to-head carear wise?

    joe was the better fighter

    ricky did more for boxing as awhole

    resume wise is about even, and you can make a argument for either man....

    joe has the more impressive names, but once you exam each fight and the circumstances his resume is just decent...

    now for ricky, you have guys with high rankings....malginaggi was ranked number 1 contender, urango was ranked highly, castillo was in the top 10 p4p when they fought.....tszyu had just come off a sensational KO of mitchell and then fought hatton.....and then ricky has the 2 L's aginst floyd and manny.....

    I think its about even, and ricky has a case his resume is better....once you look at the circumstances of each fight....

    Castillo WAS NOT in the top ten P4P when Hatton beat him. Hatton said he was but he really wasn't. That's a fact.

    No worries, but I just remember at the time being irritated by the fact that Hatton kept lying about it all the time.... along with repeating the same old jokes about two nans eating sandwiches in the front row of his big fights and how his mum looks like Shrek.:verysad

    At the risk of ****ing up a very good thread I'm pretty sure JLC was number 8 on the Rings P4P list when he fought Hatton.

    if ricky wasnt a fighter, he is the type of guy that would be the annoying ***** at the pub, that you would like to beat up....

    i was reading ring magazine during the hype to pacquiao/hatton....and there is a quote from nasim richardson, that says....hatton is the type of guy that will follow you out to the parking lot annoying you, looking for a fight....i think thats a accurate statement

    Did you just get rid of your Ring listings for 2006? I was just about to say if I'm wrong I'll publically humiliate myself. They fought June 23rd 2007 I beleive.

    Yeah, I misread the year.....old age and too concerned with either having a **** and then going for the papers or whether to get the papers first and then worry about the ****!!!

    I am under the impression JLC was p4p top ten when they fought too, could be wrong but that's my recollection
