P4P - Peak Calzaghe V Peak Hatton

Like he destroyed the other p4p fighter he faced? I hope you're joking.

 

Wow - sounds great!

Surprised you are still talking to us after mingling with all these celebs!

:good

 

Do you know my sisters boyfriend Gavin Oliver, he was there with my sister, he's from Newbridge as well.

 

How old is he? Name rings a bell.

 

He's 34 (i think) He lives in Newport now with my sister. I think he has a brother and sister, not sure what age though. His mum and dad still live in Newbridge.

You probably know him by sight. They are home tomorrow, so i'll ask him whereabouts in Newbridge he used to live. He plays in a football team with some of the lads from there

 

Calzaghe can actually fight inside and would easily get to grips with Hattons holding and hugging has Hatton even got a straight right, Calzaghe would blow Hatton away with ease..

 

Why would I be joking? Ricky Hatton is reliant on his physical strength, as has been shown by his lack of success at welterweight. Nobody bullies Calzaghe. Not even Hopkins could do it. Hatton is also very poor against southpaws, he was put on his arse by Magee, and could have easily lost to Collazo

A quick southpaw that fires from all sorts of angles as well as having the ability to counter him on the way in is his worst nightmare.

He gets destroyed

 

Hatton at 43 and the Calzaghe of now....Calzaghe wins.

 

Nobody bullies Calzaghe? What does that even mean, has he ever fought a pressure fighter who actually throws more than one punch at a time?

"Even" Hopkins couldn't bully Calzaghe, so nobody can?
Hopkins couldn't bully Jermain Taylor, but Kelly Pavlik made him crumble in a corner.

Calzaghe's never even fought a fighter as good as Hatton in his prime.
Calzaghe couldn't even destroy a guy like Charles Brewer who came forward with poor defence and a weak chin.

 

Bika didn't "bully" Calzaghe at all. He made it a messy scrappy fight, made Joe look bad, but people overreact

Hatton isn't a true pressure fighter anyway. When I think pressure fighter I think Duran. Or at the moment, best example would be Cotto. Hatton's style is not as refined or educated as these guys, he's more of a brawler that is physically strong

Hatton is made for Calzaghe, with his lack of defence and come forward style.

 

Duran and Cotto are pressure fighters, correct, and Hatton is also a pressure fighter. All of which, p4p, would give Calzaghe trouble.

Lacy is the only type of fighter "made for Calzaghe", a limited guy who throws one power shot at a time and doesn't put anything together.
Hatton doesn't fit that, nothing close.

The best p4p fighter in the world beat Hatton well when he was fighting at welterweight. A peak Hatton fights at his own weight, and you think Calzaghe "destroys" him, a guy who has destroyed no world class opponents in his career. No.

 

P4P it has to be Joe. Joe boxes Hatton all night. Hatton makes it rough and tumble but Joe won't have much problem with boxing, moving, countering etc

Joe is also sick on the inside.

 

Easy win for JC, too quick and too much movement for one dimensional hatton.
