My American friends: If Mr. Joe Calzaghe shut-out Mikkel Kessler...

I scored that ***** 8-4 for Jr., Oscar did nothing for some rounds...

How'd you manage to get that for Oscar?:blood

 

Open to a slickster type of fighter?

Hatton is a textbook swarmer, and a textbook swarmer is exactly the type of style that is needed to beat someone like PBF.

You are not going to outbox him, you are not going to KO him, what you have to do is get in his face and make it a long night. Hatton is built to make it a rough night for Floyd.

That being said, PBF is simply to talented for any fighter in the 140-154 lb range atm. He will beat Ricky.

 

I agree that Hatton' style matches up good against PBF, who I don't really call a "slickster" boxer. Collazo's style is a better example. I'd see Judah being a stylistic nightmare for Hatton, but the stamina issue would give Hatton a win if he could survive the early onslaught of punishment he is guaranteed to absorb.

 

Because I saw him win more rounds. Can't remember my scoring, but I think I had it 7-5 for Oscar, maybe 8-4.

Granted I have only seen it on the fight night, but I saw a Oscar who controlled most of the fight, did most, more willing to do something.

 

While 'career defining fight' is a popular term, in truth a fighters career is defined by there whole career.

 

Well, judging from this board, one fight alone can ruin the impression of all the others.

Having said this, I don't think that either will ever meet such supreme opposition again.

 

Think about if Calzaghe and Kessler were American. They would soon be considered all-time greats without a doubt!

 

yes if he does that he is the best fighter.
On the other hand, if Kessler KO's Calzaghe than the same can be said for him.

 

hed be p4p #3

 

Joe didn't shut-out Kessler but Andre Ward sure did so does that mean you think he is the best?:hat

 

:rofl Hell no! If he had the supporting resume to back him up then that would be a different story! Joe's a good fighter no doubt about it!

I've been critical of this...Floyd is included but he still has time but Joe on the other hand he retired and well the rest is history!

 

Wow. Talk about resurrecting a thread.

Anyway, it nice to see Amsterdam's genius posts again. :yep

 

oh boy.

 

The fight was what it was then and there.

Resurecting this thread means nothing.

 

:happy
