Hatton-Calzaghe-Hammed

Hatton = Hamed > Calzaghe


I have reasons but I just don't feel like sharing them at the moment.

 

hamed, he fought with a fan friednly style, always looked for the knockout, and cleaned out his division. yes he lost to mab, but all the best fighters lose fights.

 

Calzaghe > Nas > Hatton

Loved Nas to bits. People talk about him ducking and ****. The guy cleared whatever there was when it was around. He was always a fan friendly fighter and yet he came back to fight once more in Britian on his last fight and got boo'ed horribly.

 

hattons story of his life was beating Tyszu but any1 with an educated eye knows the fullstory about that

 

Talent - Hamed, Calzaghe, Hatton
Legacy - Calzaghe, Hatton, Hamed
Resume - Hatton, Calzaghe, Hamed

Hamed - God given talent that should have made him go on to achieve great things. Instead he became complacent, lazy, and lacking that motivation to complement his skills. Left his career and legacy unfinished. Complete waste :verysad

Calzaghe - Had great talent, but was too scared to test himself against the best in their primes. For a supposed ATG, his career best win is Kessler

Hatton - Had all the heart, motivation and guts you can ask for in a fighter. A pitty he didn't have the skills to match. The two times he was matched against elite fighters, he was brushed aside emphatically. But still, at least he can retire knowing that he did try to mix it in with the best. :thumbsup

Calzaghe - Was the best at 168lbs and 175lbs. Undisputed 168lbs champion, won all the belts. Undefeated. Faced household names.

Hamed - Should have won all the belts, awesome puncher in a weak division at the time. Was exposed against Barrera when he lost his edge.

Hatton - Beat KT and was the man at 140lbs. Often beat up on smaller weaker opponents. Was blasted out by ATG Mayweather and MannyP.

 

lol how can Naseem be more talented than Joe when Joe was never beaten by a slugger?

The difference is Naseem had speed - Joe has speed AND technique. A technician can slip punches; naseem relied on speed and got found wanting when presented with adequate pressure.

 

hamed cause he cleaned out his division and never ducked anybody

 

Dude he never cleaned out the division.....Hello? Barrera! it's easier for a little guy to go up in weight than a bigger guy anyway but Hamed couldn't even clean out one division. Joe cleaned out his division and beat the 175 champ (who beat Tarver). Dawson was the only *maybe* and I think deep down most people know what woulda been a close fight.

Im not ragging on Hamed, he was mint but P4P he isn't on Joes level. Man look how fast & technical Joe was @ 168 and how fit!!!

If that dude dropped 44 lbs he would have been incredible.

 

:deal

Agree with everything except " ...The two times he was matched against elite fighters, he was brushed aside emphatically."

Pac, absolutely.

Floyd, not so much. Ricky gets a bad deal on this fight all the time. I think everyone remembers the result, but not how Ricky dictated the pace and applied pressure in the preceding rounds. Sure, ultimately Floyd timed him perfectly and he was KO'ed, but he did a respectable job from 1-9.
