Who had the more impressive wins Calzaghe or Hatton?

I found one from the end of 2006 and he was number 9, obviously he could have slipped in the following 6 months but I think its fair to say he was at least "up there" when he fought Hatton.

Thats not to say that P4P lists mean much in the first place.....

 

At the risk of ruining the thread (as Gaz said) this is complete bollocks. Hatton is one of the nicest guys in the sport, I have never heard of him being involved in any type of outside the ring altercation or throwing his weight around!

 

I agree. I think it's absurd how people will debate, in depth, who deserves to be 9, for example, on a P4P list. Does it really ****ing matter?

 

Not to me mate, I think its original purpose when all it asked was "Weight aside, who is the best boxer in the world?" was fine but now people are debating who is number 8 or number 9 when they can't even agree on the ranking criteria!!!

 

Actually, The Ring had Castillo at #9 when Hatton fought him.

So he was.

Although if you can prove otherwise....

 

If I'm bored enough to get into a P4P debate I take it as a sure sign that I should get off the Internet and mow the lawn or **** off to the pub for an hour (preferably the latter!!)

 

I'm not 100% certain, but I rememeber fairly recently being shown the Ring P4P rankings at the time, and Castillo was #9. It seems to be a widely held belief that Castillo was P4P elite at the time, and haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise, although its possible I suppose.

 

He's number 9 at the end of 2006 but it is possible he slipped after that fight on the Hatton-Urango card when he looked unimpressive edging past that guy who's name totally escapes me!!

 

Ngoudjo (sp)?

 

Yep, thats the fella...:good

 

Thing is Ben, and no disrespect intended, but why would you make such a big deal out of it anyway?

Hatton is a fighter not a politician. He says things that are sometimes inaccurate and keeps on repeating them, I doubt he knows any better or even really cares about the fine detail

People really do get hung up on the semantics of every Hatton statement around here

 

Yep, theres a list showing JLC at number 9 P4P at the end of 2006. If he dropped out of it in the 6 months before he fought Hatton in June 2007 then that hardly makes Hatton the biggest bullshitter in the world....
