Calzaghe (on the decline) and Haye are the best the Brits have got, since Hatton's fitness levels declined.
joe calzaghe will never lose to an american white boy. he is the superior british, black athlete. truth.
Britsih boxing really is starting to look laughable, Witter with age proving to catching him up with him fast and probably will go on the slide now or put some good performances here but after tonight his big fights will not come. Hatton has to put in a knockout performance to regain some pride, but Lazcano tough as nails gonna be hard to show his aggression in here with a dude who can take it. Then he has Malignaggi who probably has the skills to compete with Hatton and take punishment. Then you have Calzaghe, who is gonna struggle with any decent world class boxer with a great right. Haye, who is probably gonna look like a million bucks until he gets sparked which is inevitable, and probably the same with Khan, but Khan I always think will have a great career with a few losses but at least he will get the mainstream attention. We need to get some future talents over to the US which has been progressivly happening as of late. And we need to get rid of promoters like Frank Warren who protects his fighters and overrates them to a point where they are in for a massive fall.
firstly, i hate hatton but he butt****s paulie into oblivion. the new yawker looked absolutely clueless when herman got stuck into his chest. paulie's skills are overrated and hatton will out hustle him. secondly, it's a stylistic weakness of calzaghe's yes, everyone has at least one, yet he still overcame the likes of reid, kessler and hopkins who possessed such a weapon.
haye will get sparked? really doubt it no heavyweight outthere can match him for speed, timing and acuracy, david haye will seriously dominate the heavys just a matter of time, the heavyweight divison is at its weakest now and haye is really going to look a step above the rest in the divison!:good
Kessler didnt use his right at all. He tried to set up with his jab. Hopkins showed how to hurt calzaghe but Hopkins didnt have the skills or fitness he once had to keep it up. I do still make Hatton clear fighter but Maliganggi will be a very stern test, although I dont see Hatton giving the younger guys a shot at him he will look to fight Pacquaio and Diaz.
yea lets hope so but if you watch wlad he is very beatable even when boxing a boring chess match he is to work with his jab forward then if haye can just manage a few clean shots by slipping the jab and a right cross! who knows in that fight! cant wait for it though!
british boxing is still good - you just have to realise that there's always some decline before a few come through...!
the CT fight haye was still adapting it was his own fault as he just went out partying all the time as well as took him lightly haye is a total different man now he has looked better and better ever since! also he had Ct dwn 3 times in tht fight if a remember correct! n who else exposed him?
