    Calzaghe vs Hopkins was an SD and a close fight that could have gone either way.

    Hatton vs Tzyu was a massacre

    Hatton win for me.

    ^Having to wrestle a shot to **** ATG because you still can't outbox him = massacre.

    Damn it feels good to be a brittard.

    Hatton's win was more conclusive.
    So Ricky's win.

    Most people saying Hatton. Is Calzaghe's resume really that thin?

    Depends on how you look at it. Hatton's win over Kostya was more decisive compared to Calzaghe's SD win but Hopkins was a better fighter who was still able to achieve a bit more after fighting Calzaghe where as Tsyzu was done and retired after the Hatton fight.

    I'd say Calzaghe beating Hopkins personally.

    Tell me, brittard, does Hatton beat a prime Tsyzu?

    Hatton dominated a past prime fighter. Joe narrowly out pointed an equally past prime fighter.

    Hatton. Better win. More impressive.

    I don't get the fascination with Joe Cal.

    It's quite an interesting one. Both Tszyu and Hopkins where out of their prime, but still top p4p fighters at the time. I scored B-Hop-Calzaghe a draw, 1 point for Joe and 1 point for Bernard, whereas the Hatton win is controversially free which is what personally gives Hatton the clear edge.

    Just worthy of note, I'd probably rate Joe-Kessler win on par with Hatton-Tszyu.

    How was Hopkins past his prime (edit: past his prime, not shot like Zoo)? Hopkins destroyed Pavlik and also beat Pascal after losing to Calzaghe.

    I'd take Calzaghe-Hopkins as a better win because Hopkins just accomplished some wins after losing to Calzaghe whereas Kostya retired.
