anyway for Americans to catch this fight? An online webcast maybe?

try maxboxing.com :cool:

You'll be able to download from http://**************.no-ip.org/ shortly after it's finished. I don't think you will be missing much though, Stewart is not on the same level as Hatton. Hatton is just feasting on another Sharmba Mitchell leftover.

"feasting on another Sharmba Mitchell leftover." hahahaha LOL
The bloke is just a truck driver mate. Ricky needs to step up the plate and fight Mitchell then Gatti or Cotto, Mayweather or Tszyu perhaps.

exactly mate, been saying it for the whole of 2004.

Thing that worries me is they are banking on a Mitchell win to get a shot at legit title, thats more than a bit iffy for starters and if they couldnt make the fight when Sharmba wasnt a champ what chance when he is?

All sounds like another frustrating 2005 for British fight fans. :mad:

Hatton just steamrolled Stewart & stopped him in 5 rounds, it was very one sided, 3 knockdowns all in and the ref stopped it.

:D well the hatton steamkettle rolls on :D

*yawn*

wake me when Hatton does somthing worth mentioning

We all knew Hatton would win it was just how he would do it anyone was talking about, the guy had the perfect style for him to do what he wanted, if that was an I.B.F. eliminator Hatton should be fighting Tszyu or Mitchell next so hopefully he'll step up & make a big fight happen cos' whoever he goes in with it will be exciting even if he loses.

He's the WBO mandatory. Looks like Warren doesn't want anything to do with Cotto. I just heard Warren say that he wants Ricky's "Big" fight to be in the UK. Good luck trying to get the winner of Tszyu/Mitchell across the pond. Why not take on Cotto?? He said after his last fight that he'll even fight Hatton in his backyard.

He should have been fighting these guys a long time ago, if he's not ready for them after 36 fights he never will be and Warren is always going on about having all the advantages, if Hatton's fighting a champion then he'll have to concede something cos' the WBU isn't worth anything, i hope he sorts himself out and challenges the winner of Tszyu/Mitchell, Cotto or even Harris.

this is like torture....can we not have a scott harrison post too..he aint exactly fighting the best either..

(lol i only said that cause hes scottish..sorry barryboy)

All the British guys are good at putting names out there without actually coming close to fighting the guys they say for one reason or another, Hatton has looked close, so has Calzaghe but still nothing yet so yes it is torture :D

cotto is a prime example of a mature fighter taking the right fights at the right time, he is the next big thing, forget about hatton he is wasting everyones time and has been for 36 fights, when he steps up he is going to be destroyed, gatti will kill him, mayweather, cotto, mitchell, even a ring rusty tszyu is going to kick his butt all over the ring.
I like cotto and i know that his inside and body work is far superior to hattons.

Why would Warren take the Cotto fight? Joe Calzaghe has the WBO title and the Yanks still dont rate him!!

Cotto isnt a real world Champion, he hasnt beaten a named fighter yet.

I cant believe people are knocking Hatton for wanting to take on the real world champion!! :confused:

Calzaghe hasn't fought anyone either and he has way more fights.

No he doesn't Calzaghe's had about 1 more fight than Hatton.

Name one super middle who is worth fighting? He beat the best America has to offer(brewer&mitchell). Tarver talked his way of of the fight, i'm waiting to see if johnson does again and Hopkins wont step up!

Super Middleweight:

Syd Vanderpool
Jeff Lacy
Danny Green

Light Heavy:

Antonio Tarver
Roy Jones Jr.
Glen Johnson
Rico Hoye
Montell Griffin
Dariusz Michalczewski
Fabrice Tiozzo

No he doesn't Calzaghe's had about 1 more fight than Hatton.

I meant he has way more than Cotto - 37 to 21

There's no super fights @ 168 for Calzaghe but i'd like to see him in with Danny Green or the winner of Lacy/Vanderpool, I don't see the Tarver fight happening & he's already had his chance with Johnson.

Sorry bruv, thought you meant Calzaghe :o

No problem...

Hey, what do you think about Felix Sturm vs. Joe Calzaghe? Both seem to have "some" respect and both claim to be eager to fight some top American competition.

Don't know if Sturm is big enough physically - maybe they could meet at 165.

This fight would have some American interest.

Everyone seems to forget about Sturm, me included, i'd like to see him fight again, i didn't see his last fight but heard it wasn't too impressive so maybe the Delahoya result flattered him a bit, Calzaghe would probably be too strong for him & since Joe was talking about moving up to 175 i doubt he'd come in under 168.

I knew you would say Green and Lacy but would they be Calzaghe's step up? There both just prospects.

The only fighters who would be a big fight at light heavy are Tarver and Johnson.

Unless Jones seriously improves he shouldnt get in with Calzaghe(i never thought i'd say that!!!)

Johnson would need to improve a lot before a Calzaghe fight

Hopkins and Tarver are the only fighters worth fighting! They both ask for to much money = Joe will never prove himself!! And thats a fucking shame!!

The WBO belt is gaining credibility, especially with how the WBA is stripping true champs and calling them "super" and giving another guy the belt, but the WBO is still the least credible of the 4 in most boxers' eyes. That's why Diego Corrales wants to fight Castillo - it's about getting a major belt, among other things. I know belts aren't as big of a deal as they once were; people give up belts voluntarily all the time but

Calzaghe fighting another champ would be a "Step up" in opposition in most fans' eyes. That "prospect" Lacy could have a better belt than Calzaghe tonight.

WBA Champs - Mads Larsen, Fabrice Tiozzo
WBC Champs - Antonio Tarver, Cristian Sanavia
IBF Champs - Lacy/Vanderpool, Glen Johnson

Rico Hoye is Glen Johnson's mandatory. If that fight doesn't come off immediately, Hoye vs. Calzaghe would be a good fight too.

The thing about these "prospects" is that they are using their visibility to step-up in competition. The perception is that Calzaghe never did that. He's lumped in my mind with guys like Gianluca Branco or Artur Gregorian, who fought nearly a whole career undefeated only to lose to the first top opponent they ever faced.

There are a lot of good fights out there for Calzaghe, Lacy would be one but its about time he fights a big money fight. Even if Lacy holds a better belt than Calzaghe it doesnt matter, Ottke held a better belt than Calzaghe but every sane person knows Calzaghe would have whipped Ottke.

The only fight Calzaghe hasnt had is a super fight, he's stepped up to the top and stayed there so there is no chance of him getting beat by the first top guy he's been in with.

I'd like to see Calzaghe fight Tarver, Green and Hokpins and retire. not much chance of that!
