    Would a win over JMM change things?

    He'd be 47-0 and no doubt the press would unjustifiably be banging on about Marciano.

    Im not too sure about that although its easier to say that since Kessler's beating at the hands of Ward. I honestly think Hatton has better wins but Calzaghe was a better boxer and a sadly wasted talent.

    Hopkins jumped straight to LHW because he didn't want to fight the SMW guys!

    Its getting interesting now with Lacys stock having fallen, Kesslers ability being second guessed (rightly or wrongly) after the Ward fight while Hattons comfortable wins over Urango and Paulie both continue to look better and better as those 2 keep beating world class 140lbers.

    Calzaghe is a better fighter, and had a better career.

    But I'd probably take making Tszyu quit over Split Decisioning a 43 year old B-Hop, when it comes to the best victory either of them had.
