Ricky Hatton = Keep dreaming.. He'll NEVER beat Mayweather. Look at his record he's stayed away from slick and fast fighters. Most of the fighters on his record were fighters that stayed right in front of him and didnt move much. That's a FACT! Joe Calzaghe = His claim to fame is beating a green and one dimensional Jeff Lacy and a good fighter in Kessler (who in my opinion was the best win in his supposed "P4P" career). That's not saying much. Clinton Woods = He's only a decent fighter. Jones stopped him years ago and it was EASY work. Dawson destroys this joke with ease too. David Haye = China Chin.. He'll be exposed when he fights a legit heavyweight. Junior Witter = Already was beaten multiple times and your own englishman Hatton was ducking this guy. What's that say about both fighters? Enzo Macarinelli= WHO? lololol
What young challengers did Tarver beat in his championship reign? I saw a lot of in circle fighting and avoiding the young hungry challenges for the money fights against Jones again and Johnson twice, one of which he lost. Would have loved to see Tarver-Briggs and so on. Tarver basically was overrated for catching Jones in the 2nd. Calzaghe on the other hand was avoided for a long time by the big names Europe and America, couldn't ink anything what so ever, that label popped up because boxing fans are ignorant.
The only person worth mentioning that Tarver beat was Roy ! And that win alone is on par with pretty much anyone Joe beat at the time ! And no one thought he would do that ! But even if he was overratted he still managed to beat Glen Johnson I think a fighter who Joe Calzaghe Clearly ducked !!And how can you be avoided when you won't fight anyone outside your backyard ..Thats like me saying your ducking me in a fight becuase you come to my house ! What kind of logic is that ??
Have you ever actually seen Calzaghe fight, or heard about what the fighters he's beaten say about him? I'd say not based on this. 'Calzaghe has a predictable style ' - Are you serious? He's completely unconventional as a matter of fact. I grant you that Hopkins has a good record against southpaws, but I'd argue that he's not faced as good a southpaw as Joe, and in fact the majority of those 11 fighters are on the mediocre side. Hopkins is an intelligent fighter, yes and he is adaptable, but I'm not convinced he's the most versatile fighter I've ever seen - Or that he'd be that effective against someone his own size...
I've seen just about every Calzaghe fight televised in the US over the past 8 years or so. Unconventional? Yes! But this in no way precludes him from being predictable. Well, considering Tarver and Winky were both universally recognized as P4P talents when Hopkins beat them, I'd say you're wrong. This garbage about Hopkins beating up exclusively on smaller fighters and him being "unable" to handle Joe's work rate is nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of delusional Calzaghe fans. Don't get me wrong, Calzaghe is a very good fighter, but he is NOT on the same level of B-Hops, and it will show when they fight. :smoke
You, too, are an imbecile, although, your occasional humour prevents you from being a total imbecile like that moron China Hand Joe. Neither one of you is capable of being objective when it comes to certain fighters. And as for Bush and his Admin, they're nothing more than lame ducks. Fear not! It's almost Giuliani Time! :smoke
I take back what I said. You are indeed just as much an imbecile as that half-wit China Joe. Well-done! :smoke
