    What Joe is an ATG Hatton isn't i'm not trying to knock Hatton as like almost everyone i loved his fights and what he brought to the game, but be fair he isn't someone who you would be putting in the HOF unlike Joe

    I agree that Hatton is not an ATG, but neither is Calzaghe. Joe will probably get into the HOF (not that it means a great deal these days), but Im sorry, calling him an ATG is laughable.

    Listen, Hatton beat a top 3 P4P when he stopped Tszyu. genuine article was Tszyu, universally recognised at still a P4P king.

    Joe aint got **** compared to that. Simple

    Also, if Im going to be clever I would say majority of what Joe threw were slaps, not punches :lol:

    Which isnt technically great !

    It might not be 'technically great' but if your hands are ****ed then its all you can do,dildo.... I was a bouncer for years and once broke one of the knuckles on my left hand. Every time I hit someone it broke again and all I could do afterwards was slap because the pain was unbearable when I connected.
    Calzaghe has achieved so much whilst having semi-disabled hands its unbelievable.
    They will make a movie about him in the future,believe me,that guy is a massive achiever.

    Well ask Jeff Lacey if what joe threw where slaps, reckon he would disagree, FFS everyone knows Joe had bad hands very brittle yet still he was able to be at the very top of the sport for years, Cazlaghe is in my view an ATG top 5 British figher ever IMO i genuinely believe he was an amazing fighter criminally underrated for years and even still doesn't get the respect he should, i honestly think he beats the likes of Toney, Hopkins at any stage and any other British SMW Eubank, Collins Froch ect. The only win he has that he wouldn't have got had they fought in their primes is Jones Jr but then again i rate him as top 10 ever so hardly any shame in loosing to him

    or his bad hands are the result of poor throwing for years.

    calzaghe has a better range of abilities such as high fitness, chin, recuperation, fairly good skills, but hatton is by far the better in terms of offensive skills.

    Calzaghe by so far that you'd question whether they were actually competing in the same sport.
