    Proof?

    Why would Jones chase Joe? He probably hadn't even heard of Joe. It's not like Joe was calling him out either.

    Calzaghe beat a prime Kessler at 168,which is a better victory than any that Hatton ever had.People say that the Tszyu victory was a great one but Tszyu was shot(Sharmba Mitchell was even more shot)and the worst ref ever was Dave Parriss.Don't believe it?Just look at the Barrera-Khan and the Rogan-Sexton fights and you can see with your own 2 eyes how bad Parriss is.Like him or hate him,Calzaghe is a great fighter(I don't like him as he's a liar).Can't say that Hatton was a great fighter,though.

    But he avoided the big 3 Mexicans like the plague,as well as Floyd Mayweather,and when he finally fought one of those Mexicans,got his ass kicked.Juan Manuel Marquez is still furious at Hamed for avoiding him as JMM was the #1 WBO contender for 2 years while Hamed ducked him.Last year's Ring magazine JMM interview revealed his anger,which is hilarious because ducker Hamed still insists that he was great.Laughable.

    That's enough right there.

    Go away.

    Don't post again till you've actually watched at least a dozen of Duran's better fights.

    Preferably in the presence of an adult who knows enough about the sport to educate you.

    Lol since when was a fighters skill judged on hwo he went about getting beat up? Calzaghe is miles miles miles miles miles miles miles ahead of Hatton in terms of skill and boxing savvy, Hatton fell out with Warren before Joe, so that's why he got the bigger fights sooner.

    This thread is a joke. Calz was by lightyears better than Hatton.

    that **** is remarkable , therefore the quote.

    and you ignore the fact that hatton faced the best opposition available and calzaghe did not.

    and kessler is a p4p top 20 fighter , right ?
    tell everyone (again) it's right.

    Jones said in interviews before he fought Calzaghe that he had not wanted to fight him back then. There were discussions between the camps about a potential fight in 2001, so of course Jones had heard of him. After Calzaghe beat Veit, Jones's agent was quoted as saying that he and Jones had watched the fight and Jones was interested in dropping down to SMW for a fight.

    Like I said, neither chased the fight. Too much risk for too little reward for Jones I would have thought. You are wrong about Calzaghe never calling Jones out, he was always talking about him in interviews, though personally I have never placed much stock in that.

    The reason Hatton got those megafights was because he had a massive fanbase and couldnt box for ****.

    And finally, ding ding ding.

    The easiest way to land fights against established champions is not to be a dangerous opponent, it is to represent the best risk/reward scenario for them. Hatton brought a lot to the table and was a beatable opponent.
