Hatton is better than Calzaghe !!!!!

At the end of the day Kessler IMO is an awesome fighter, & Calzaghe beat him.
Calzaghe beat the best in Kessler, & to say beating a guy like Kessler is fighting in the "comfort zone" is quite ludicrous.

 

Have you seen Joe fight? atsch and you think hes a technically inferior boxer to Hatton. :hi:

 

Kessler imo is better p4p than Hatton

 

American fighters are the best! I just love it when the crowds start chanting
"U S A, U S A"

 

I didn't read this, the subject says it all.. good luck! :good

 

better at holding and at drinking bevvy, but not better at boxing...that is very clear.

 

Man, some Hatton fans still don't feel humbled.

Roy wasn't a super middle by the time Calzaghe was ready and he wouldn't of been outclassed either.

 

There's no shame in losing against the P4P number 1, especially when moving up a weight to fight him. We wouldn't think any less of Calzaghe if he'd moved up to fight Roy Jones and got knocked out so we shouldn't think any less of Hatton.

 

hatton has been at top level for 2 and a half years and he's already fought the best.

calzaghe was wasting his time with guys like david starie 2 and a half yrs into his reign.

as good as kessler is, he's no floyd mayweather. :nono

 

I'd say Calzaghe's only fought at the top level for a couple of years.

 

Hatton is ya....definatly, good shout! Calzaghe is nothing, pure ****!

hug...punch ..kiss...headbutt.. .punch. ..hold...hug.. .punch. ..punch. ..hug...kiss...hug...hit head off turnbuckle...hug...fight over

 

All these guys are traffic jamming the paths which are a few streets behind Mundine's p4p ranking.

 

Hatton has beaten superior fighters to Joe. He also has also put himself up against the best p4p in the world. Even if he did lose, for that he deserves credit. Putting himself in such a position is something Joe has never even looked like doing throughout his long drawn out career.

I'm not saying Ricky is a better fighter. But based on opponents and guts at taking on opposition. I have to give Hatton the nod here as being deserved of more recognition and praise then Calzaghe.


Costa Tzu was a far better champion then anything Joe has ever faced. Before anyone starts. Lacy with time is now looking increasingly normal and nothing special at all. Eubank at his best (he was shot when he met Joe) was a lesser fighter then Tzu. Kessler's the best Joe has faced as he met him in his prime. Very Good fighter but nowhere near in the league of TZU. Not even remotely!


Ricky Hatton has also been a two weight division champion. Joe has never done this or tested himself outside his own weight division.


IMO Ricky at this moment in time deserves more recognition because of where hes has been. I'm not saying hes a better fighter, thats subjective. Just give Ricky the respect and credit he deserves for sticking his neck on the line against exceptional opponents. Even if he did lose against the best fighter in the world.

Joe really should have fought the likes of RJJ and Hopkins(when he was in his prime). Ricky has fought the weight equivalent of these and therefore deserves greater respect. Ricky even moved up a division to get a shot. Did Joe do this? No, I wonder why?

 

:deal I pretty much agree with most of this - but I don't think it's fair to slag off Chris Eubanks. He was past his prime - but in his prime he was an indestructible fighter. His wars with Nigel Benn and Michael Watson were nothing less than phenomenal. His victories over those two amazing fighters marks Eubanks as a one time great fighter.

Joe Calzaghe does need to fight Hopkins and Jones before he retires though.
